The Hydro

Founded in 2025, this is Ballyshannon’s newest pub, even if there has a been a bar here for a great many years. If you’re using an old map or you haven’t been in town in the last few years, you might know it as The Bullfrog. Locals might still call it Josie’s Bar, which stood for many years.

It has a lovely vintage wooden bar on the East Port road side, a game room, and a large yard for nice weather. They frequently host music on the weekends.

The Hydro will make you a cocktail too.

A white building with black trim, resembling a classic Ireland pub, displays a round sign reading "The Hydro – Live Music & Sports, Est. 2025." The bar features several windows and sits along a narrow street.
