royal oak tavern

The Royal Oak Tavern is a pub steeped in history. As far back as 1812 there are references to the pub in a book on an archeologist study of limestone areas in Ireland.
William Fitzpatrick was born in 1879 - 1935. He was a carpenter by trade and acquired the pub during his life. When he passed away it was left to Mary Brennan in 1904. She cleaned the place up a little and did a good trade. Then she married, in 1912, a man called Thomas Byrne. And it has been owned by Byrnes ever since!
The Royal Oak is an ideal location for parties and functions as the premises as a large lounge area for hire.
