Congratulations to @peggymoores on being named Best Tourist Pub for the North East at the Irish Pub Awards 2026! 🍻

This 118-year-old Drogheda pub at Sunday's Gate blends old-school tradition with fresh energy. Think a great pint of Porter, live music, food seven days a week and free pub history tours.

It's now one of just seven regional winners heading to the national final at the Mansion House in Dublin on 18 November. Fantastic news for Drogheda, County Louth and the Boyne Valley. 🍀

Next time you're in Drogheda, raise a glass at Peggy's.
