What is McGraths Bar and Hotel like?
The ground floor is a welcoming bar and lounge where resident drag queens, singers and touring cabaret acts perform, with a keep-your-labels-in-your-pocket attitude. Overhead, the guest house takes adult guests only; reviewers rate the hosts, cleanliness and breakfast highly, and it was a 2024 finalist at a local hospitality awards event. Seasonal drag nights, such as a Halloween takeover, bring the regulars back.
When should you go?
