    Does anyone know when this pub is open? It looks like a nice spot, but when I was there yesterday - a Saturday afternoon during a heatwave - it was closed, which surprised me since there were tables outside and it would have been a lovely place for a pint after swimming in the lake.

    Did you try to actually push the door? It can look closed, when not.
    It normally opens from late afternoon. A lovely spot.

    Yes, I turned the handle and pushed the door. Maybe it was too early in the afternoon.

    Near Roscahill and Moycullen, beside the lake. I figured locals who could answer my question would know where it was.

    Its area the bar is in is known locally as Collinamuck where the pub is on the shores of the corrib, lovely little bar real step back in time i'd say if you just just knocked on the door Peig would come out to you if she was there

    In fairness have heard of Coilinamuck but didn't have a clue of Carrowmore. Useta have a couple of Customers from over that way. Few trips out that side may be nice if we get a bit more of this nice weather. :)

    it's been some time since you asked the question but it caught my eye because of the current interest in the 'Carrowmoreknock Logboat' . It should attract some visitors to the pub. The pub is licensed to
    'Margaret O'Halloran',Carrowmoreknock, Rosscahill, Co., Galway by Revenue.ie.
    The pub usually opens in the evening unless there is a special event.
    Both the school, church and the former post-office are in Carrowmoreknock. I wouldn't inquire too closely as to the reason as the issue has caused much bad feeling particularly to Carrowmoreknockers who resented being told that they lived in 'Collinamuck'. There were even two angling associations at one point. I hope you manage to find the door open one day!:)

    The pub is called "Peig's" locally and the area is called Collinamuck (Pier of the Pigs I think) even though I did see the signs were changed to Carrowmoreknock recently. It's a great little pub, has come on a lot in recent years but is still a step back in time.
