Rooted in
hospitality.
From a village in Tipperary to three distinctive places to gather, dine and feel at home.
One name.
Three places.
Matt the Thresher is a name with deep roots in Irish storytelling and a lasting connection to Birdhill in County Tipperary.
Today, the original inn is joined by a seafood restaurant in Dublin and a restaurant, bar and bakery in Julianstown. Each has its own atmosphere, its own community and its own reasons to visit.
What unites them is simple: care for the food, pride in the place and a welcome that makes you want to return.
A character
from Tipperary.
The name Matt the Thresher comes from Matt Donovan, a character in Charles Kickham’s novel Knocknagow, or the Homes of Tipperary.
His story of modest beginnings and village pride gave the original Birdhill inn a name that has stayed with generations of guests.
That spirit of belonging remains part of Matt’s today.
