Welcome

McNamee's of Celbridge

The Abbey Lodge sits where the Dublin Road meets the Liffey — a proper Kildare local that also happens to serve one of the best steaks in west Dublin. Family run, dog friendly at the beer garden, and busy for a reason.
Come for the carvery on Sunday, the fajitas on Friday, the match on Saturday, or just a flat white from the hatch on your way to work.
