Since then, Grace Neill's has been visited by countless locals over the years, as well as smugglers, pirates, sailors and soldiers. Fishermen and lifeboatmen, businessmen and rascals have all enjoyed a drink or two in the original snugs at the front of the bar.

These snugs exist to this day, having been visited by a range of distinguished names in the generations since: names such as writer Daniel Defoe and composer Franz Liszt, as well as poet John Keats and even Peter The Great of Russia.

Today, Grace Neills is home to an award winning restaurant open 7 days a week with live music every Friday and Saturday night.
