The Top 10 best pubs in Wexford for 2025

Just like with previous years, Wexford Weekly is running a campaign to find “Wexford’s Best” for 2025…

For 2025, to kick off the Wexford’s Best campaign, we started with a bang. We started with the topic of Wexford’s Best Pub, which always gathers signficant interest.

This topic was proudly sponsord by Dempsey’s The Street. Located in the village of Momamolin, this establishment is known for their tasty pints, mighty craic, and friendly athmosphere. This cosy little pub often has live music, while it also acts as a village grocery store.

Followers of Wexford Weekly were asked to simply vote by writing the name of their favourite Wexford pub into the comments section on our social media page.

475 unique users voted on the poll, which ran for one week from 5th June 2025 to 12th June 2025. We then compiled the votes. The standings are now in and we can now reveal the top 10 best pubs in Wexford for 2025.

10 – The Bargy Bar

A new mention on the list for 2025 is The Bargy Bar. This bar has been described as a “cosy little place with a friendly athmosphere, and like a home away from home.” The Bargy Bar is located in the Bridgetown area of County Wexford.

9 – Breen’s Bar, Gorey

Breen’s Bar in Gorey town takes the number 9 spot for 2025. This pub is located across from the Gorey Little Theatre nestled in a side-street. A short one minute walk from the main street, it’s a place that’s always hiving. With music and entertainment on most nights of the week, two pool tables, dart boards, and an excellent beer garden, it’s hard not to love this popular North Wexford pub which has something for everyone. It’s the only bar in Gorey that has made the list.

8 – Byrne’s of Bree

Another bar that has made the Wexford Weekly list for the first time is Bryne’s of Bree. Any pub with a friendly athmosphere and tasty pints, you can’t go wrong and that is the case for Byrne’s of Bree.

7 – The Ashtree, Ballywilliam

The Ashtree in Ballywilliam is another traditional country pub. Ballywilliam is about 8km outside of New Ross and this pub is located at the centre of the village, being a hub of activity all-year round. Like Breen’s Bar, they also have a pool table and a darts board for pub-goers to enjoy, while they also offer tasty food.

6 – Micko’s Bar

South Wexford pub, Micko’s Bar, is located in the village of Taghmon, County Wexford. Music, darts, fundraisers are all prevalent here once you walk into the traditional pub. Another community-driven pub, Micko’s Bar retains their name on the Top 10 list for Wexford’s Best Pubs for 2025.

5 – Maggie Mays

Now under new ownership, Maggie May’s Bar in the heart of Wexford town has made the top 5 of Wexford pubs for 2025. Maggie Mays is located on the popular and busy Monck Street in Wexford town. They pride themselves on having excellent customer service, tasty cocktails offerings, and a variety of live music entertaining their customers. It’s a great place to enjoy the pour behind the door!

4 – Conran’s Bar

Located in the Village of Rathnure, Conran’s Bar has made the top 10 Wexford Pubs once again, taking the fourth spot for 2025. With a newly-refurbished design, a friendly athmosphere, and some of the best pints of Guinness in Wexford, it’s really no surprise that they’ve retained their spot on this list.

3 – Dempsey’s, The Street

Located in the small village of Monamolin, Dempsey’s The Street has made it into the top 3 pubs in all of Wexford. Despite being located in a small village, they welcome everyone with open arms and they are a real community pub. Live music happens regularly, while they also have ‘skittles’ to play outside of their pub – which always adds to some friendly competition. Beyond that, their pints are hard to beat.

2 – Quigley’s Bar, Kilmore

Behind all good pubs are good people. And that’s certainly the case for Quigley’s Bar in Kilmore. Like the other pubs, they regularly host live music, darts, and community events which keep their customers coming back. Quigley’s Bar received 58 unique votes in the online Facebook poll on Wexford Weekly, showcasing their loyal customer base and their customer’s willingness to support the pub for one main reason: they absolutely love it!

1 – The White House Bar

Retaining their number one spot and the title of Wexford’s Best Pub for 2025 is The White House Bar. The White House Bar is located in the heart of Enniscorthy. They received 184 individual votes out of the 475, which speaks for itself. Like the other pubs, they regularly have live music and host an array of other events. One such event coming up for this bar is the Enniscorthy Irish Folk and Ballad Festival, taking place from July 4th to July 6th 2025. In Wexford Weekly’s 2024 poll, The White House Bar also claimed the title as “Wexford’s Best Guinness.” All in all, it’s the perfect pub who are well-deserving of their acclaimed number one spot as Wexford’s Best Pub for 2025.
