A compact cask ale pub, on the county Down coast, yards from Belfast Lough. The "Duck" has sold cask ale for many years, and it has been CAMRA NI Pub Of The Year twice. Three ales are usually on from a changing set of breweries. They have a great collection of pump clips, and plastic ducks. The food is highly recommended and is available in the bar downstairs and in the restaurant upstairs. It has a beer garden to which has a retractable roof to enhance outside drinking and dining. There is a beer festival every summer and there is an impressive view over Belfast Lough and a corner celebrating locally born golfing hero Rory McIlroy.

Information for this venue is provided by the Northern Ireland Branch of CAMRA
