From this Clannad and Enya both started their careers and platinum Discs on Display. The tavern is now run by Leo's youngest son Bartley, and Bartley has recently renovated the tavern, to blend the old with the new and provides music nightly with Leo playing on occasion and other nights of Traditional Music.
