Maggie May’s on Monck Street is the busy, sociable Wexford local done right. Under new ownership it has become one of the most consistently lively rooms in the town — a log fire for the winter, an award-winning beer garden for the summer, a programme of live music and cocktails, and the darts, sports and fundraiser nights that keep a neighbourhood crowd coming back week after week. It is reliable in every season, which is harder to pull off than it sounds.
A Local for All Seasons
The trick at Maggie May’s is range. The log fire makes it a proper winter pub; the beer garden, which has won awards, makes it a summer one. Live music and cocktails pull an evening crowd; the sports screens and darts pull an afternoon one. Few pubs cover this much ground without losing their footing, and Maggie May’s manages it with genuine warmth.
A log fire in winter, an award-winning beer garden in summer, live music, cocktails and a crowd that keeps coming back. Maggie May’s is the Wexford local done right.

The Beer Garden
The award-winning beer garden is the summer draw — a genuinely good outdoor space that comes into its own in warm weather and keeps Monck Street busy well into the evening. In winter, the log fire takes over and the room turns cosy. Two pubs in one, depending on the season.
Music, Sport and Cocktails
The live-music programme and cocktail list give the evenings their energy, while the sports screens, darts and regular fundraisers keep the place rooted in its neighbourhood. It is a pub that knows its crowd and serves them well.
