We’re Furlong’s New Geneva; most people round here just say Furrys in Passage. A small pub on the corner of Dobbyn’s Street in Passage East, two minutes up from the ferry slip, with the harbour at the bottom of the street and the goats on the cliff above it.
Owned and run by Sean Furlong, it’s a proper local. A pint poured properly, a match on the telly, and the ferry going over and back at the end of the road all day. Nobody will rush you.
The beer garden
Out the back there’s a beer garden for the fine days (we get a few), and that’s where the summer music happens: trad and folk sessions, singer-songwriters, the odd tribute night. What’s on is on the Events page; if it isn’t there yet, ask at the bar.
The house
The house is older than the pub. It’s stood on this corner since about 1775, thatched and single-storey once, they reckon, and it only became a bar in the mid-1970s when the ground floor was opened up. The name comes from New Geneva, the town that was meant to be built just down the road and never was. That story, and the barracks that got built instead, is on the History page.
Where the nickname came from, nobody’s saying. It’s ours now anyway.
Finding the door
Come in off the ferry, the boat, the bus, or the cruise tender at Dunmore East; directions for all of them are on Visit. The door’s the light-blue one with the hanging baskets. Hard to miss, harder to leave.
