Rooted in Tradition. Delivering Excellence Since 1869.

Kavanagh's Bar & Venue — 28 Main Street, Portlaoise, Co. Laois

A Family Legacy Over 155 Years in the Making

When most online beer retailers were still a distant dream, the Kavanagh family was already pulling pints.

Kavanagh's Bar on Main Street, Portlaoise has been a cornerstone of the Laois community since 1869 — that's over 155 years of family ownership, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for great drink. Through generations of the Kavanagh family, the bar has built relationships with breweries, distilleries, and suppliers that most retailers simply can't match.

We're not a faceless warehouse. We're a family. And that makes all the difference.

From Bar Counter to Your Door

When COVID-19 changed the world, we adapted. Rather than close our doors and wait, we launched The Beer God — bringing the expertise, the quality, and the personal service of Kavanagh's Bar directly to homes across Ireland.

What started as a way to keep our community connected during lockdown has grown into something we're incredibly proud of: a home delivery service built on the same values that have guided our family for over a century.
