CARDAN BAR

ABOUT OUR BAR

Like our food, everything we do is about quality! We have one of the best draft beer selections around with regular guest taps keeping you interested. Craft Beers play a large part with local brewers such as Hilden, McGraths, Fulcrum and others finding a space in the fridge! Our spirits range is large and varied and if we don’t have it yet, it’s on our list to arrive soon! Cocktails are masterfully created using the best spirits and fresh ingredients, complimented by our perfectly arranged Wine List.

The bar is now many things to many people and with this in mind we have developed a strong reputation for Coffees and Loose Leaf Teas, supplied locally by Johnsons Coffee, opening each morning at 10:30am and serving all day.

We have also developed a great Nibbles Menu to accompany your choice of drink and this is for the individual or for friends!

LOCAL BEERS

WHITEWATER BEER, KILKEEL, NEWRY

BEES ENDEAVOUR 4.8%

£4.50

A wonderful golden ale with an unusual combination of both honey and ginger, giving a gentle warmth to the aftertaste.

BELFAST ALE 4.5%

£4.50

Whitewater’s most popular brew - this aromatic russet ale is brewed with the addition of wheat and roasted barley. Rich fruitiness is followed by a gentle hop avour leading to its smooth succulent nish. Available in cask, keg and bottle.

BELFAST LAGER 4.5%

£4.50

A crisp continental style full avoured lager with a very smooth nish and distinct bitterness making it very drinkable. Top 50 beers in the World in category, 2008.

EWE REBEL 7.0%

£5.00

Not afraid of being a Maverick this IPA heavyweight has a great balance of bittering and aroma hops. The dominant citrus and grapefruit tones come from American Cascade hops... maybe a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A ne beer to be sipped slowly with good food and friends.

HEN, COCK & PIGEON 4.9%

£4.50

A punchy red ale delivering a blast of hops to the mouth and nose. Named after three summits within the splendid Irish Mourne Mountain range.

HILDEN BREWING COMPANY, LISBURN

BELFAST BLONDE 4.3%

£4.20

We have now merged our College Green beers into the Hilden family. Meet the new look Belfast Blonde! New look but the same great beer. A light, crisp tasting pale beer with a pleasant and distinct hop character lingering at the end. Using “Saaz” and “Hersbrucker” hops from the Czech Republic and Germany.

TWISTED HOP 4.7%

£4.20

A new Irish classic with lots of aroma, bitterness and hop avour. Twisted Hop is a strong premium pale ale made with late Galaxy hops from Australia, which pack a powerful punch. Then balanced with plenty of Brewer’s Gold from Germany, this ale is all about the hops!

HEADLESS DOG 4.2%

£4.20

We have now merged our College Green beers into the Hilden Family. Meet the new look Headless Dog! New look but the same great beer. A pale hoppy ale produced with North American Cascade hops and Munich malt. This ale is named after the graf ti image of a headless Labrador on the old brewhouse wall.

MCGRATH’S, LURGAN

MCGRATH’S NO .1 4.3%

£3.90

A medium bodied traditional ale, combining the caramel sweetness of the malts with toasted biscuit notes, balanced carefully by the earthy hops, nishing slightly dry but smooth on the palate. To be savoured on its own is a must...however it can equally be enjoyed when paired with meat or game dishes.
