About D'Arcy Arms

Skip the neon beach strip—regular patrons duck into D'Arcy Arms for tavern warmth and cold stout. Unapologetically old-school, the pub trades coastal flash for a winter log fire, cold pints, and genuine craic at the timber bar. The counter crowd leans into comforting tavern staples: tender roast pork with crisp crackling or steaming beef and Guinness pie.

  • Proper Guinness Pours: Poured cold and creamy with care, long regarded by stout loyalists as the benchmark on the coast.
  • Signature Roast Pork: Tender pork served with crisp crackling and hearty sides, drawing Sunday crowds before selling out.
  • Old-World Tavern Spirit: A wood-trimmed room complete with a winter log fire, live acoustic sets, and welcoming staff.

Before you head over

Helpful guidance to smooth out your visit—check the website to view the latest menus and plan your meal.

  • Order Sunday Roasts Early

    The Sunday roast pork and trimmings draw a heavy afternoon crowd and frequently sell out; place your food order promptly upon sitting down so you do not miss out.

  • Head to the Bar for Wi-Fi

    Motel rooms can lack a consistent wireless signal, so head down to the main pub and bar area if you need a reliable Wi-Fi connection during your stay.

  • Clarify Group Banquet Plating

    Pre-ordered large group festive and special menus can be served family-style across shared platters rather than individual plates, so confirm service preferences when booking.
