Savages Bar

Built 1894 when it was owned by the King family – see the name in the two-tone granite façade to the ground floor. It has changed by the incorporation of the neighbouring shop but a good deal of original fittings survive: bar-back (bearing the date 1894), counter, a few original seat ends and the red tile floor. Note also that the walls are entirely wood-panelled, as is the ceiling. A particularly fine mirror advertising Wilson’s ‘Old Irish Whisky’. Objects on display include a copper apparatus used to dilute high proof spirits with hot water.
