About Frank Owens’ Bar
On Main Street in Limavady, Frank Owens' Bar is a bar set in a building over 250 years old, with several small rooms and a bar area for seating. One of the Game of Thrones doors, carved from a tree felled at the Dark Hedges, is on display inside. An open fire sits on site, and bar memorabilia remains from the pub's earlier days bottling its own Guinness. The counter pours Guinness Draught alongside gin, served to walk-ins with no reservations taken. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub. It opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Guinness is the most repeated draw at this traditional Irish pub, with one reviewer calling it the best in Northern Ireland and another returning after some thirty years to find the pub and its Guinness hardly changed. Close behind is the Game of Thrones door, carved from fallen Dark Hedges trees, which brings in fans of the series and which one reviewer says startled them on first sight. Reviewers describe a small, cosy pub with three small rooms plus a bar area, an open fire, and dogs welcome. The bar staff and landlord are repeatedly credited with welcoming visitors like family, and reviewers mention good conversation, craic, and local knowledge from a mix of locals and tourists. One reviewer recommends popping in for a pint or two, especially for series fans. Others mention a cheese board brought out for guests, and memorabilia from the days when the pub bottled Guinness under its own name.
