The Mullicháin Café and Restaurant is part of the tastefully restored old grain store buildings that were used by the Grand Canal Company and then Odlums, the millers. Enjoy freshly ground coffee and a range of homemade scones and cakes. Or why not have a glass of wine or craft beer with an extensive menu which includes homemade soups, tasty salads or a panini wrap.
You can sit and watch the Heron fishing on the weir when the tide is out or watch the cruisers passing on the rising tide on their way to the sea, this is truly a stunning valley where the Barrow Walk way begins. The Café is on two floors of the beautifully restored Old Grain store building and has extensive picnic tables along the side of the harbour wall. On a dull day you can sit upstairs on the couch and have a good read.
Set on the quayside in St. Mullins, the café is a popular base for walkers, cyclists, and those exploring the area’s rich heritage, including the abbey, motte and bailey, and riverside trails. Bike hire is available on site.
You can enjoy the Mullichain Local Walks along the River Barrow, returning in time for refreshments and much more at THE MULLICHÁIN CAFÉ on St. Mullins Quay!
