Welcome to the Anglers Rest. Nestled in the charming town of Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan, our story is one of resilience, passion, and a deep connection to the community.

It all began for Pauline and Francis McGoldrick when they took over a modest pub and guesthouse. Back then, the Anglers Rest was a cozy spot, popular with locals and international anglers alike.

Over the years, the Anglers Rest has evolved into something truly special. From the bustling days of the old bar to packed nights in the restaurant, it has always been more than just a place to eat or drink. It’s where stories are shared, friendships are formed, and memories are made. Whether it’s enjoying one of our famous steaks, savoring a creamy pint, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, we strive to make everyone feel at home.

Today, the Anglers Rest stands as a testament to Pauline and Francis’s dedication and the vibrant community that has supported us through every twist and turn. We’re proud to carry on their legacy of warm hospitality and delicious food, and we’re excited to welcome you through our doors.

Come join us at the Anglers Rest, where you’re not just a customer – you’re part of the story.
