About

Located in Malin Head, County Donegal, Farren’s Bar is Ireland’s northernmost pub. The establishment is known for its exceptional seafood chowder and remarkable location at the country’s geographic extremity—as well as the time it was visited by actor Mark Hamill during the filming of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

The seafood chowder is beloved by locals and travelers, drawing food enthusiasts to this remote corner of Ireland. Its rich, flavorful preparation is said to reflect the coastal culinary traditions of Donegal. Farren’s Bar represents more than a simple drinking establishment; it’s a testament to the enduring charm of Ireland’s most northerly community, offering visitors an authentic taste of local culture and cuisine.
