Blakes of the Hollow

Blakes of the Hollow is a corner pub in Enniskillen with a deep red exterior and traditional wooden interior divided into multiple snug compartments. The bar features a white marble counter and four large spirit casks mounted vertically on the back wall.

This establishment was created in 1887 with its Victorian layout and furnishings that remain largely unchanged. The Blake family took over management in 1929 and ran it for nearly seven decades.

The name comes from the Blake family who shaped the pub's identity across generations. The snug compartments encourage visitors to gather in small groups, preserving a tradition of intimate socializing that still defines how people use the space.

The pub is easily reached on foot from Enniskillen's town center on Church Street. Weekends tend to draw more visitors, making it a livelier time to experience the space.

Traditional Irish music performances take place most Friday evenings, drawing both locals and visitors who come to hear live playing in this intimate setting. These sessions have become a reason many people choose to visit.
