Our unique venue is steeped in culture and tradition, with the legacy of Nancy living on in every curious corner. Nancy was the first female owner of a public house ever, in both Dublin and Ireland. This strong leader ran the pub in a time where religion was everything in Ireland, and holy hour was ingrained in society with all establishments closing from 2pm-4pm every Sunday after mass. However, Nancy had her eyes set on money, and although she had to adhere to the rules of the church, Nancy found a way around the two hours of having no business.
Located at the front of the building you’ll see a stampage box, this antique sits gently into a hole that was carved out by Nancy where during the two hours of religious solace, she would serve pints out through the tiny hatch to thirsty customers, where all people could see was Nancy’s hands, hence the name of this bar.
Nancy Hands embodies everything that is great about a proper Irish pub experience, with a wealth of history behind our doors, we eagerly await your visit to tell you more…
