Morrissey’s makes a striking statement on Main Street in Abbeyleix. Its original frontage has been preserved in all its late nineteenth-century splendor, and this historic charm continues inside the pub, which feels like a vibrant, living museum. The establishment began its journey as a grocery shop in 1775 before eventually evolving into a public house. In the 1880s, the original single-story building was replaced by the beautiful two-story structure featuring a spacious bar and grocers—a landmark that remains to this day.
