At Mahon's Hotel · Irvinestown, Co. Fermanagh, BT94 1GS
Mahon’s Hotel in Irvinestown runs live music in its Bar and Lounge across Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights through the summer, with the current run confirmed by Fermanagh’s tourism board to continue to the end of August 2026. Mahon’s describes itself as the oldest family-run, family-owned hotel in Northern Ireland, trading since 1883, which gives the weekend sessions a setting with genuine history behind it rather than a recently opened bar.
The hotel books a rotating line-up of local and regional performers across its Friday to Sunday summer programme rather than a single resident act, in keeping with previous years where names such as Malcolm Coalter, Curtis Magee, Joe Moore and Barry Doyle have featured across different weekends. The Bar and Lounge functions as the hotel’s main social space, serving both hotel guests and locals from Irvinestown and the surrounding area, so the room tends to mix a residential crowd with a regular weekend audience. Because Irvinestown itself is a smaller town than Enniskillen, Mahon’s functions as one of the more reliable live music fixtures outside the county town, worth knowing about for anyone staying in the northern part of Fermanagh rather than around Lough Erne’s southern shore. The hotel publishes its specific acts and any admission details closer to each date rather than confirming a full season lineup in advance, so it is worth checking directly before travelling any distance for a particular night.
Irvinestown is on the A32, roughly 20 minutes north of Enniskillen and close to St Angelo Airfield. Mahon’s Hotel is in the town itself, with on-site parking for guests and visitors.
Irvinestown is a compact market town that makes a good base for the northern end of Lough Erne and the Castle Archdale area nearby. There is more to see in Irvinestown and across Co. Fermanagh.
