The Cock Tavern Heritage Pub is a descendent – by continuous licence, from an old 18th century Coaching Inn located in the heart of Main Street, Swords.
In the 18th century, The Cock Tavern was a very important Coaching Inn complete with farrier’s yard and stables that enabled coach passengers to disembark for refreshments or indeed to sojourn overnight as the densely wooded areas from River Valley to The Naul then harboured some of Ireland’s most notorious highwaymen.

Set in the traditional idiom, you will instantly feel at home in the old world surroundings of Liscannor slated floors, old oak and pine beams fused together with brick and granite walls and warm wooden floors. Natural character, ambience and vitality are all in abundance here.

Today, The Cock Tavern has rededicated itself to preserving this unique historic legacy by declaring itself a genuine ‘Heritage Pub’.

Our objective has always been to create a mature, upmarket and professional premises that reflects the pub’s historic past, whilst, at the same time, serving the social requirements of the modern age in a manner that operates under only the highest standards of service, cleanliness and courtesy, civility and friendliness to you our valued customers.

So relax and enjoy yourselves and allow us to do what we do best!
