Mary McBride's, the best known pub in the Glens of Antrim and famous for having been once the smallest pub in Ireland, has been brought to the market by Belfast agents the Whelan Partnership. "Mary's", as it is known throughout the Glens, is set beside the River Dun in the architecturally preserved village of Cushendun. As well enjoying the Glens of Antrim scenery, it is surrounded by the only significant collection of buildings in Ireland by architect Clough Williams Ellis. Williams Ellis was responsible for the remarkable Portmeirion village in north Wales, which was used in Patrick McGoohan's 1960s television cult series, The Prisoner. Mary's once consisted of a public bar measuring five feet nine inches by five feet. However, there was always parlour hospitality. The current owners, Norman and Bridget Millar, have maintained the "wee bar" largely as a tourist attraction. They have renovated the entire ground floor into lounge space, with a restaurant on the first floor.

Whelan is quoting a guide price of £290,000 sterling for Mary's which is offered on a 50-year lease from 1997 from the National Trust, which has trusteeship over much of the village's preserved buildings.
