Hotels, Bars, Pubs and Taverns in County Tipperary, Ireland

Tipperary has shaped Irish drinking and socialising in more ways than one. Bulmers cider began in Clonmel in 1935, when William Magner started out with a cider press and a dozen oak barrels; it is still made near the town and sold abroad as Magners. The GAA was founded in the billiard room of Hayes' Hotel in Thurles in 1884. And in Fethard, McCarthy's, founded in 1840, has long combined pub, restaurant and undertaker, a once-common Irish pairing that has largely died out.
