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.
