The Robert Mitchum Bar
Our beautiful bar was hand-made in Ventry by the excellent cabinet-maker Caroline O’Connor. who is also an acclaimed set-designer for national television and theatre. She creates the magical backdrops for Dingle’s televised annual music-festival – Other Voices.
The bar is the ‘Chroi’ (‘heart’ in Irish), the central vortex of Milltown House, just like it should be in such a historic old beauty. Some might say it is a library with a bar in it, others that its a bar with a library in it.
Caroline O’Connor – the talented designer and architect of our beloved bar.
A reoccurring feature of our original day-dream for Milltown House was a gentle and regal Irish Wolfhound roaming the reception rooms while international guests, friends, and family could unwind in a cozy and elegant bar with a good book, or a nice coffee, or an Irish whiskey in hand. It is a place to swop stories and share laughs. RTEs’s Hotel guru, Frances Brennan, wisely cautioned Milltown House against building a bar. On national television, no less! After taking this sound advice on board, our co-owners agreed that business is not all about profits, and passion and day-dreams must also have their place.
