Mary McBride’s sits proudly in the County Antrim village of Cushendun with the backdrop of the sea and the stunning Glens of Antrim.

It’s a firm favourite amongst tourists thanks to being home to one of the Game of Thrones doors as well as being close to many of the show’s filming locations in NI. It’s also equally favoured by locals.

The historic pub is also home to The Little Black Door Restaurant. It is being sold “as a going concern with a liquor license” by local estate agent Daniel McAlister & Son.

Serving the people of Cushendun and beyond for more than 193 years, the pub will take new ownership for a cool £350,000.

Address: 2 Main Street, Cushendun, BALLYMENA, BT44 0PH

“The property is being sold as a going concern with a liquor license and equipment included. The vendors are keeping a few personal items, but the majority of fixtures and fittings are included in the sale”.
