Antrim, Northern Ireland
Our Story
Madden’s Bar has long been part of everyday life in Antrim. Here is how the bar came to be, and how it continues today as Bar Stout.
The story
A town pub with a steady hand
Madden’s Bar grew up alongside the town, serving neighbours, regulars, and passers-through for years. Today it is refreshed as Bar Stout, keeping its traditional pub character while bringing more considered food, drinks, and service.
Its roots run deep in Antrim, with long-standing ties to neighbouring patrons, local suppliers, and the musicians who play here.
