Our family have been running Ahernes since 1923. Originally set up as a traditional pub and shop selling everything from a pint of Guinness to a pound of Butter run by our grandparents Madge & Jimmy Aherne. We now specilise in delicious seafood with boutique accommodation & a warm welcome. 

We're looking for some new recruits to join our team, if you or someone you know is interested please do get in touch. 

Scenic Youghal is the perfect place for exploring the south east with miles of beautiful beaches, local history and visitor attractions like the Jameson Distillery & Spike Island on our doorstep.

‘A little gem of a hideaway in the middle of the town. Lovely, unique and spotless rooms, fabulous food and a genuinely warm welcome. I'd definitely recommend Aherne's.’
Guest Review,
Excellent friendly staff, really terrific fresh food both in the bar and restaurant, nice selection of wines, comfortable and clean rooms full of character. Altogether a wonderfully relaxing long weekend. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at Aherne’s. We appreciated the extra care given, including letting us know about a local boat tour on the river which we really enjoyed. We hope to visit again some day.
