Overview
McHughs Bar is recorded in Antrim as Public House. Its exact page in the Northern Ireland Historic Buildings Record identifies a named whole hotel, public house or entertainment building, rather than a numbered house or a detached part of a wider site.
Why it was built
The exact official record names McHughs Bar and gives the building type as Public House. It fixes this whole hotel, public house or entertainment building to one saved place and individual source page, but does not by itself provide a complete building date.
People and work
For McHughs Bar, the saved name and type are the secure evidence. The short record used for this first account does not safely name owners, architects, builders, clergy, teachers, workers, travellers or other people, so none are invented.
How it changed
The type Public House gives the safest clue to how McHughs Bar was used. It does not establish a full sequence of construction, rebuilding, ownership, worship, education, trade, industry, transport or later change.
What survives
The official source fixes McHughs Bar to this exact saved point and record. It gives no complete present condition report, so rooms, machinery, fittings, bridge fabric and other surviving parts are not guessed.
Why it mattered
McHughs Bar matters here because an official architectural record identifies a distinct whole hotel, public house or entertainment building in this local area. This first account keeps that exact evidence visible while leaving the fuller place history for stronger source work.
