The Coolquoy Lodge, in the townland of Coolquoy Common, is the local pub for the residents of Coolquay - the spelling that basically everyone except the authorities and the pub owners use for the area. There isn't an actual quay anywhere nearby, but "quoy" just looks a bit weird in English I guess.
This is quite a generic pub, a roadhouse on the old N2 that is still going after the bypass was built; presumably helped by the local trade which some since failed roadhouse pubs did not have. There's a sizeable bar area and a big restaurant section to the premises; which are well maintained but just a bit, well, bland.
That said, for a village to have a pub at all is no longer guaranteed, let alone one that does food.
