Welcome to An Bolg Buí

An Bolg Buí, meaning “The Yellow Belly”, is more than just a name, it’s a place where tradition, hospitality and community come together in the heart of Ballina.

Some pubs serve drinks. Others create memories.

At An Bolg Buí, we believe the best Irish pubs are about more than what’s behind the bar—they’re about the people, the atmosphere and the stories shared around the table.

Nestled on Bridge Street in the heart of Ballina, An Bolg Buí is a place where locals feel at home and visitors experience the genuine warmth of Irish hospitality. Whether you’re calling in for a perfectly poured pint of Guinness, enjoying live music with friends, cheering on your team during the biggest sporting events on Sky Sports, or relaxing with a handcrafted coffee from Bridge Coffee Ballina, every visit has its own unique atmosphere.

By day, Bridge Coffee Ballina offers expertly prepared speciality coffee, homemade treats and a welcoming space to unwind, catch up with friends or simply watch the world go by. By night, the pub comes alive with live music, great conversation and the unmistakable buzz of a traditional Irish pub.
