The top 5 best beer gardens 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 gathered significant interest online. This was followed by finding Wexford’s Best Coffee for 2025.

With the summer upon us and with the sunny Wexford weather, it was appropriate to find the top 5 best beer gardens across all of Wexford.

An online poll was published on Facebook from 24 June to 30 June 2025, allowing users to vote for their favourite beer garden by simply writing in the comments section. A total number of 108 unique votes were registered.

This topic was proudly sponsored by Jack’s Tavern. Located in the village of Camolin, the long-established Jacks Tavern continues to shine. With excellent customer service, they serve delicious food and desserts. Enjoying some of their mouth-watering tasty pints in their newly-renovated beer garden on a sunny day is a must too!

5 – Vine Cottage, Saltmills

The Vine Cottage continues to be named as one of the best beer gardens in Wexford. Their ‘garden bar’ has proven to be a hit with locals and tourists to the area wanting to bask in the Wexford sunshine while also enjoying a few beers. This property also has a fantastic food menu – with delicious burgers on offer throughout the day. ;

4 – Culleton’s

Located in Whitemill area of Wexford town, Culleton’s have a large and spacious beer garden for all to enjoy. They have a lot of space with seating areas placed at both the front and rear of their property. The relaxing green venue is an ideal setting for groups heading out for a few social drinks.

3 – Thatch Bar

The Thatch Bar is located in the historic village of Ferns. Known for their history – with the King once living there – they’re also known for their mighty craic and welcoming nature. One of the best places to head out in Ferns for a few pints is the Thatch Bar beer garden. This must be one of the most pictureqcue beer gardens in all of Wexford too, with castle ruins overlooking their beer garden.

2 – Browne’s Bar

Browne’s Bar is located at the top of Gorey’s Main street on the corner. Browne’s Bar is a traditional pub steeped in history. Over the last two years, new ownership took over the historic pub. Despite the new owners, they’ve kept the traditional aspect of the pub – even though they renovated both the interior and exterior of the bar. One of their recent renovations was their beer garden. The beer garden – in the suntrapped area of Gorey town – is hard to beat along with one of their now-famous pints of creamy Guinness.

On rainy days, they also place a shelter over their beer garden – making this a beer garden that can be used all-year round, something that is important in Ireland with adverse weather conditions.

1 – Jack’s Tavern

Located in the small village of Camolin, Jack’s Tavern is a long-established business now synonmous with the village. For 2025, Jack’s Tavern have been crowned as winners of “Wexford’s Best Beer Garden” claiming 43 of the 108 individual votes (39.8%). Their beer garden was only renovated a couple of years ago, but it has become a hit with their loyal customers. Along with having tasty pints and an excellent beer garden for all to enjoy, they have a delicious food menu. Their beer garden often caters for events, while excellent live-music from local and big-name performers can be heard across the weekend.
