The Old Fort Restaurant is in the newly restored main building of the Shannonbridge Fortifications. This wonderful building was constructed in 1810 (approx) as a bridgehead defence against Napoleon. The Shannonbridge Fortifications are unique in Ireland and Britain. They are a remarkable example of artillery fortification of the Napoleonic period.
This unique building has had many uses over the last 200 years from being a home to the military to a family business and family home during the 20th century and now has been painstakingly restored over the last seven years by its proprietors Fergal and Linda Moran into a wonderful restaurant we hope you enjoy.
The Old Fort Restaurant is open to the public from Wednesday to Saturday 4-8pm and on Sunday from 12-4pm. Admission is free.
