Jolly Roger

4 Bedroom Residential/Commercial Residence 239sqm
The Jolly Roger is a traditional island pub located on majestic Sherkin Island in Roaring Water Bay, West Cork.
Known to everyone as" The Jolly ", the pub is a long established business, successfully trading and being sold as a going concern.
Lying just off the coast and a quick 10 minute ferry from the village of Baltimore, 10 scheduled crossings per day.
The island is an ideal destination for the many day trippers and holiday makers who make the journey across each year.
When you step on to the island you will find a different pace and mood in the beauty of Sherkin.

The pub takes its name from the colorful pirate history of the area, thankfully, the pirates have long gone.
What you will find is a picture post card friendly pub with magnificent panoramic views across the harbour towards the iconic Beacon and Baltimore
Experience the cosy traditional feel inside, or relax and chat in the sun drenched beer garden.

The scene of legendary music sessions, the Jolly welcomes musicians and encourages new talent and is a place where people make life long friends, gathered around the bar counter, or sitting in the much coveted " window seat ", where conversation comes naturally and the magic flows.
The location could not be better, being centre of the island, a 5 minute stroll from the pier, just enough time to work up a thirst !

Hosting special events has become a solid part of the business, catering for many second day weddings, birthdays, anniversary parties, work bonding events, club outings, even a wedding in 2023. The potential to grow the business is huge, the beer garden and sun room can cater for large overflow numbers

The island is so accessible, the children attend the local schools on the mainland, the first ferry in the morning will get you to work anywhere within a 45 minute drive.

Sherkin has an all year round community of 100 residents, increasing on a regular basis with many part time "locals" increasing the numbers

The numbers would include a cohort of Art Students who study for their fully accredited degree, in conjunction with TUD Dublin.
