Neds Bar

No visit to N. Ireland is complete without a visit to NED's Pub,(also known as The Maypole Bar.),one of the few, true original bars in Ireland.........



Maybe you will just drop in for a quick scoop of Guinness or the likes and a packet of Tayto (Irish for potato crisps). On the other hand you may be there long enough to hear the familiar words, "last orders please", "time gentlemen please" and if you are having a really good time, "have you no homes to go to"..........There are also some rules to observe,

HISTORY



The Maypole Bar (Ned's) was first licensed in 1857, and one of the most remarkable notes in it's history, is that since then right up to now, in the year 2002, there have only been 3 proprietors.................The first from 1857 until 1908, and the second from 1908 until 1967, since when it has been in the Carty family. Built in the 17th Century in Holywood Co. Down, beside Ireland's only existing, and still used Maypole. Many ships arriving in Belfast from overseas used sandstone as ballast, and it was sandstone brought in by ships from Ayrshire in Scotland that was used in many buildings in and around Belfast Logh including some in Holywood, of which The Maypole Bar (Ned's) is one.
