The Sky and the Ground at 112 South Main Street is a Wexford institution and the town’s strongest all-rounder. For years it has been the reliable answer to almost any question about where to go in Wexford — for a quiet afternoon pint, for a serious craft beer, for live music, or for a long evening in one of the best beer gardens in the county. The wood-panelled interior has the warmth of a pub that has been loved for a long time, and the standard never seems to slip.
Craft Beer and Sessions
The Sky and the Ground built its reputation on two things: a genuinely good selection of craft beers, stouts and local brews, and a consistently high standard of live music. The traditional sessions — Tuesdays among them — are some of the best in the town, and the room is built for them. Recently repainted in teal where it was once famously red, but unchanged where it counts.
Great craft beer, a mural-painted beer garden, and some of the best trad sessions in the town. The Sky and the Ground is Wexford’s most reliable all-rounder.
