Walsh's Bar & Restaurant, Woodford

31/08/2026

The end of an era. It was wonderful to see so many people turn out yesterday to celebrate Fr Kieran and show their love and appreciation after 20 years of serving our community. We're sure he's still taking it all in today - and hopefully those dancing feet aren't too sore this morning! 🕺

Fr Kieran, make sure you come back and see us soon. We'll be needing you on quiz night...you can't leave us without our resident quiz whizz! 😉

But in all seriousness, we wish you every happiness as you begin your new chapter in Eyrecourt. There's so much love for you here in Woodford, you'll be sorely missed. ❤️

And finally, a very warm welcome back to Fr Pat. It's lovely to have you back in Woodford, and we wish you every happiness as you begin this new chapter with us.

The Furnace Restaurant

29/08/2026

140 years ago this week, families in the Woodford area experienced one of the most difficult chapters in our local history.

The Woodford Evictions of August 1886 became known far beyond East Galway, as tenants and local supporters stood together in resistance during the Land War. For many families, it was a time of hardship, uncertainty and remarkable courage.

140 years on, we remember those families with respect and reflect on the strength of community that helped people through those difficult days.

We're grateful that Woodford continues to be known for its community spirit, friendship and warm welcome. And at Walsh's, we're proud to be part of it.

A little update from The Furnace Restaurant - as of 1st of September, the kitchen will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the Autumn/Winter season, but they'll be happily serving breakfast, lunch and dinner for the rest of the week. 🍔

If you're looking to organise a special event on one of the closed days - or any other day, give George a call as he may be able to help.

George: 085 176 3360

And fear not folks, the bar will still be open from 4pm 'til close on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so we'll see you at the bar! 🍻

As we're coming to the end of Heritage Week, we thought we'd dust off an old favourite of Walsh's.

Some things have changed over the years…the village, the roads, the cars, the price of a pint...but thankfully, the pub's still standing!

And if only these pub walls could talk…we’re sure they'd have a tale or two to tell! From great nights and big celebrations to quiet pints, plenty of craic, and a bit of mischief along the way. 😉

Here's to the memories that have been made within these walls over the years - and to many more still to come.
