Drinks & Nightlife
An all round winner for food, drink, entertainment- music & matches and craic. The outside beer garden is a great space especially for families with children. Jamie Dornan enjoyed it so much that Michael Fassbender came to see for himself the next day.

Sightseeing
Fair Head
Causeway Coastal Route

Just 4 miles out of Ballycastle on the main costal road [B15]. It is a hidden gem, your effort to climb down to the remains of the castle are well rewarded with stunning views of Rathlin Island and the coast. It has toilets and picnic tables within the large car park. Although on the main coastal route, it is not visited my many tourists. Well worth the detour.
