Heeney’s U Drop Inn, one of Ballybofey’s most iconic pubs, has been put on the market.

The sale marks the end of an era for the local Heeney family, who are retiring from the hospitality trade after 59 successful years. The founding owner of the pub, Mrs Brigid Heeney, sadly passed away in August at the age of 95.
