Steeped in rich history, The Hanged Man’s building dates back to the early/mid-18th century and played an integral role in the development of the Grand Canal.
Initially, it served as a vital depot for the Canal Company, supporting the growth and progress of the waterway. Over the years, the building’s purpose transformed. It served as an RIC barracks and, later, it evolved into a cherished bar and grocery, becoming an essential part of the local community.
In more recent times, the Keane family took the reins, acquiring the premises in 1999, turning The Hanged Man’s into the beloved establishment it is today.
Keeping it in the family, Jeff Keane is the Head Chef and has a BA in Culinary Arts and a MA in Gastronomy.
