about us

Absolutely! If you'd like to decorate your table or bring something special for the group, just give us a heads-up and we’ll make sure everything’s set up for your arrival.

Yes – many of our guests mix and match! For example, you could enjoy a cruise followed by Paint by the Pints, or do a Jiving class and follow it up with a candle-making session the next day. Let us know what you're thinking and we’ll help make it work.

Not at all! These packages are perfect for birthdays, family get-togethers, girls’ weekends, or just a fun day out. Everyone’s welcome.

No – there’s no minimum group size required. Whether you’re planning something small and chilled or a big celebration, we’re happy to help make it work. Just let us know your numbers when booking so we can get everything set up just right for your group.

Yes – all of our packages can be adapted to be wheelchair friendly, with the exception of the Jiving/Line Dancing classes, which take place in our Upstairs Lounge (accessed via stairs). If you or anyone in your group has specific accessibility needs, just let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

All of our party packages include reserved seating at Charlie’s, so your group will have a space to relax and enjoy drinks, pizza, or live music after your activity. The only exception is the Jiving/Line Dancing classes, where seating is available on request – just let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Nope – room hire at Charlie’s Bar is completely free of charge. We don’t require a deposit either. We understand that plans can change, so if you do need to cancel, we’d appreciate as much notice as possible so we can offer the space to someone else.

Of course – we’d love you to make the space your own. You’re welcome to bring decorations and we’ll make sure you have time to get everything set up before your guests arrive.

Definitely. You don’t need to worry about clearing everything away at the end of the night. Our team will take care of that for you, and if you’d like us to store food or decorations, we’re happy to keep them safe for collection the following day – just let a member of staff know.

Yes! You can play your own music from your device – just let us know in advance so we can check connection compatibility. We also have Spotify available. If you’d prefer, you can send us a playlist ahead of time and we’ll have it ready to go when your guests arrive. That way, you’re not stuck using your own phone on the night.

Absolutely – we’d be happy to help with both! For Live Music - Just let us know what you're after – whether it's a DJ, a solo singer, a band, or a Traditional Irish Session – and we can suggest a few options and give you a rough idea of costs. You’ll be responsible for booking and paying the act directly. For Catering - We can point you in the direction of trusted local caterers who know the venue and offer a range of styles and budgets. Whether you're after finger food, buffet-style options, or something a bit more formal, just drop us a message and we’ll send you some suggestions and menus.

Yes, absolutely! You’re welcome to access the area ahead of your event for any setup or decorating. Just let us know your plans when booking and we’ll arrange a suitable time for access.

Yes. There is free on-street parking after 7pm, and you’ll also find Pay & Display parking just behind Charlie’s at Down/Market/Cross Street Car Park – reasonably priced and a short walk away.

The Upstairs Lounge is located on the first floor and is accessed by stairs, so unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible. That said, our Main Bar is fully wheelchair friendly and includes a wheelchair accessible toilet. If you or any guests have specific accessibility needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’ll always do our best to help and make everyone feel welcome.

Absolutely – we love to see musicians coming from all over to join our weekly Trad Sessions. The Session takes place every Sunday, from 7.30pm and the more the merrier!

We accept bookings for our Upstairs Lounge every Saturday night. However, if you are planning on visiting with a larger group (eight plus) on a different day and would like the security of having seats, send us a message/email and we will do our best to accommodate you.

We are very proud to be Dog Friendly. If you do bring your four-legged pooch along with you, make sure to ask one of our friendly team for a Doggy Water Bowl and some treats!

Unfortunately, we do not serve food. However, you are welcome to order from Little Wing Pizzeria (next door to us) and they will deliver the pizzas in to your table in Charlie’s. Just ask a member of staff in Charlie’s for a Little Wing Menu if you are feeling peckish.

We are a child-friendly pub. A young person, accompanied by an adult, is welcome to be in the bar up until 9.00pm.

Yes, we offer a range of packages for Hen Parties. Please contact us on 02866325303 or info@charliesbarenniskillen.co.uk for a bespoke package and pricing. Each package includes a private bar, the option to play your own personalised playlist and reserved seating with Live Music in the evening. Paint by the Pints Our resident artist will guide you through a 2-hour, step-by-step painting class while you sip on a tipple of your choice. You can pick from a selection of paintings or provide an image for your group to paint! (£25-30 per person) Jiving/Line Dancing Classes Want to work up a thirst? This is the perfect activity for a bride to be who loves Country Music and getting out on the Dance-floor! Why not try a lively and fast-paced Jive dance hen party and take yourselves right back to the dance halls! With Tina from Modern Country Moves as your dance teacher, you're sure to have a laugh too. Not only will this be exclusive to your group, but you’ll have plenty of space and privacy to learn, practice and perform with the girls! (£10 per person - Bride goes free) Flower Crown Workshop Make your own beautiful handmade flower crown. Be inspired by our bounty of quality faux flowers, leafy foliage, ribbons and embellishments. The fabulous Nicola from Fountain Lane will help you structure your crown for shape, variety and fit! Select flowers to your preferred colour scheme or match in with the season.
