Our story

Ninety years in Clane.

The Manzor name has been over the door in Clane since 1936. Nine decades on, Seamus Manzor and family run the Village Inn as a local, family business built on high quality and great service.

It’s the kind of local that quietly becomes an institution. Polished wood and warm lamplight. Flowers at the windows. A pint poured with patience and set down with a smile. People come in for one and stay for the company: neighbours, old friends, and visitors who leave as regulars.

We’re proud to be part of village life, too. We sponsor Clane United, we’ve hosted the Clane Festival table quiz, and the golf society honours boards on our walls go back to 1987.

The back bar: a row of lit beer taps beneath a glass pendant lamp, with wooden shelves of spirits on either side

Behind the bar

A well-poured pint is worth the wait.

Guinness the way it should be: poured slow, left to settle and topped with care. As the plaque on our wall says, “a well-poured pint of Guinness is worth waiting for.”

Alongside the Guinness you’ll find Murphy’s, craft beer from Rye River Brewing in nearby Celbridge, and a full line of lagers and ciders. There’s wine by the glass or bottle, and Jameson and Paddy behind the bar.

Inside

The Bar, the Lounge and the Backroom.

Look for the signs on the way in: one door for the Lounge, another for the Bar & Backroom.

The main bar: a long wooden counter lined with cushioned stools under glass pendant lamps

The Bar

A long wooden counter, a row of high stools and pendant lamps glowing over the taps. The best seat in the house for the chat.

The Lounge

Green banquettes, glowing wall lamps and wood-panelled nooks. Made for settling in for the evening.

The Backroom

Old timber beams, a red-brick hearth and the big screen. Home for the matches that matter.

The covered beer garden: barrel tables and wooden stools beneath a white canopy, with heaters overhead

The beer garden

Rain or shine, outside.

Our covered, heated beer garden is built for Irish weather: barrel tables and stools, heaters overhead, and a canopy that keeps the rain where it belongs.

Made for long summer evenings and a breath of air at half-time. After dark it glows, with neon signs on the walls and lamps lit beneath the canopy.
