Teach Dolmain

Teach Dolmain is a bar and restaurant on Tullow Street in the centre of Carlow town, County Carlow. Its name, which translates as “House of the Dolmen”, is a nod to the nearby Browneshill Dolmen, one of the county’s best-known ancient monuments, and that theme runs through the premises.

The interior leans on Carlow’s heritage, with local artefacts, pottery and old-world touches displayed throughout the bar and restaurant. It works as a relaxed spot for coffee, lunch or an evening meal, with a menu that places an emphasis on quality Irish ingredients and locally sourced suppliers.

In the evenings the mood shifts towards entertainment, with regular live music including traditional Irish sessions and weekend performances from bands and DJs. The combination of food, drink and music makes it a sociable stop for anyone spending time in Carlow.
