Located towards the northern end of the Main Street, The Railway Bar and house is a substantial property with a number of interesting features. One such notable element is the projecting entrance bay, with round-headed door opening, fanlight and decorative sidelights, surmounted by a Wyatt window. This entrance bay alone elevates the building from its more modest neighbours. Also of note is the retention of much of the structure's original fabric such as its timber six-over-six sash windows, slate roof and outbuildings. The simple mid twentieth-century pubfront also adds an element of interest to the Classical façade, and as the name suggests this building was once used as the main hotel for locomotive travellers before the Clara to Banagher Railway closed in the early 1960s.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
