An unbelievable pub recently created from a tin roofed barn that once stored potatoes.

Thatch Bar, Ballyshannon
44. Thatch Bar, Bishop Street, Townparks, Ballyshannon, County Donegal

The "lounge" bar, for instance, has a concealed door and finding and opening it will require solving a clue.
Until very recently known as Dunphy's Bar.
