Dormans Bar

Welcome to Dormans Bar, a cornerstone of Magherafelt’s social scene and a proud fixture in the heart of Mid-Ulster since 1905. Steeped in over a century of history, Dormans has earned its reputation as one of Ireland’s most beloved traditional pubs, offering a unique blend of rich heritage, warm hospitality, and vibrant entertainment.

Our Story

Dormans Bar has been a family-owned establishment since its founding, evolving over the decades while staying true to its roots. What began as a humble pub serving the local community has grown into an award-winning venue that attracts visitors from near and far. Despite its growth, Dormans remains committed to the values that have made it a local institution—great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a dedication to quality in everything we do.

At Dormans, we pride ourselves on being more than just a place to grab a drink. We’ve created a space where everyone feels at home, whether you’re a local regular or a first-time visitor. Inside, you’ll find cozy booths, warm fires, and snug corners that invite you to settle in and stay awhile. Outside, our beautifully designed garden offers a relaxed, open-air setting, perfect for enjoying a meal or drink when the weather is fine.
