Eclectic night spot prepares to take flight

Take a determined garden designer, a willing publican and an acre of land on the remote Sheep’s Head peninsula — and you’ve the makings of West Cork’s most eclectic night spot.

A ‘Butterfly Garden’, complete with fire-bowls for barbecuing, butterfly-mosaic benches, a stage, a dance area, plus a heaping of butterfly-friendly flowers — lavender, lilac, verbena and geraniums to name but a few — is currently under construction at the back of Eileen’s Bar in the village of Kilcrohane.

But it’s not just about attracting great performers and top DJs to a picturesque rural location.
