Its with great sadness that we have decided to call "final call" on the Cotton Ball. As you can imagine this hasn't been an easy decision.
In 1874, Humphrey J Lynch returned home to Mayfield (then Baile na mBocht) from America, where he opened The Cotton Ball. The name Cotton Ball was from his time as a foreman in the cotton mills In Massachusetts.
Over those 151 years, many generations have come and gone in Mayfield but we would like to think that the bar has added to the heart of Mayfield - creating friendships and relationships that will long endure.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank all our incredible loyal customers. We hope that many memories where made and we would like to wish you and your families the very best.
Also special thanks to everyone that worked in the bar throughout the years. As you can imagine there is huge list but we would like to give a special mention to Ian and Roy who managed the Cotton Ball in the last number of years.
We also take this opportunity to remember members of the Lynch family that are no longer with us, especially our father Jack, our aunt Sheila, uncle Don & uncle Humphrey who where all proud Mayfield people.
Last call...
