The Name

Ballymoney Street

The Front Page is named after the newspaper office that once stood next door.

The walls are still hung with framed front pages of famous headlines, which is either a history lesson or a good way to settle an argument, depending on the night.

More about the bar

The New York Times moon landing front page, framed on the wall at The Front Page — One of them, on the wall behind the bar.

What People Say

In their own words

Very friendly and the atmosphere more like a village local
Ann Dickinson January 2026
Very very friendly. Great place.
David English May 2026
Had my sisters 40th birthday party in The Front Page, we hired the room upstairs which has facilities for karaoke and it's also set up where we could play our own music. Brian and the team were more than accommodating
