Donegal Square

Donegal Square Located in Historic Bethlehem, purveying all things Ireland and the British Isles. A favorite stop for a true celtic experience, minus the passport ✨
(230)

Donegal Square was established in 1985 by owner Neville Gardner as a result of many requests by friends of Neville’s to bring back various items from Ireland each time he visited his family in County Antrim. The name of the shop is taken from the Georgian Square in which Belfast City Hall sits. Neville worked there as a civil engineer before coming to the US back in 1979. In 1996 Donegal Square mo

ved to our current location almost doubling in size and allowing the addition of McCarthy’s Tea Room. Since Neville grew up in Northern Ireland and had the benefit of both Irish and Scottish heritage, it’s fitting that you will find a great mixture of products from all the Celtic Lands. If you have the opportunity to pay us a visit you’ll feel right at home, and maybe that you found a wee bit of Ireland or Scotland located here in Eastern Pennsylvania- no passport is required. Donegal Square has been involved with the Celtic Classic festival since its inception in 1987 and is proud to be associated with one of the best events of its kind in North America, if not the world. Donegal Square and McCarthy's – now McCarthy's Red Stag Pub and Whiskey Bar – are the Celtic Destination in the Lehigh Valley and Eastern Pennsylvania. Specializing in Celtic Imports from Ireland and the rest of the British Isles Donegal Square carries a great range of items from the best companies on both sides of the Atlantic. McCarthy's Red Stag Pub and Whiskey Bar makes many dishes from owner Neville Gardner’s native Northern Ireland family recipes, while offering a range of imported draught beers, a wide variety of British Isles whiskies and a friendly "Irish" pub atmosphere.

Knots, spirals, and woven motifs have been part of Celtic art for centuries, carrying stories of connection, continuity, and place.

There is a reason certain patterns continue to appear in Irish design.

These new scarves from Mulligans Ireland bring some of those familiar motifs into pieces made for everyday wear. Soft color, thoughtful design, and just enough detail to keep drawing your eye back.

There is something hopeful about seeing a rainbow over the Irish coast.

A reminder that beauty often appears when you least expect it, and that every landscape is shaped by the many paths that cross through it.

As we welcome June and the beginning of Pride Month, we're grateful for the people and stories that make our community vibrant, welcoming, and uniquely its own. 🌈☘️

Happy Pride Month from all of us at Donegal Square.

Sometimes a simple message says enough.

"The World is Your Oyster."

A small card on the shelf, but one that feels especially fitting this time of year as graduations are celebrated, plans are made, and new chapters begin.

Who comes to mind when you read it? ☘️

Some Scottish facts are easier to answer than others.

A quick round of true-or-false around the shop turned into a reminder that heritage has a way of sticking around...in traditions, stories, phrases, and the little things people still recognize immediately.

A little friendly competition never hurts, either.

Fresh from Inis and now beyond the fragrance shelf.

The newest arrivals from Inis Energy of the Sea bring that clean, ocean-fresh scent into a daily routine with:
- Sea Mineral Shampoo
- Sea Mineral Conditioner
- Sea Salt Hair Spray

Light, fresh, and easy to reach for. They are the kind of products that naturally find their place beside the sink or packed into a weekend bag.

Worth a slow look next time you’re in the shop.

There’s a quiet kind of storytelling in the work of Wild Goose Studio.

Inspired by Irish history, landscape, and old Celtic symbols...each piece carries a sense of place with it. Something meant to be lived with, not just looked at.

These are the kinds of pieces people stop in front of a little longer.
Which one speaks to you most? ☘️

Sweet news, Granny Mac® chocolate bars are back at Donegal Square 🍫

Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and the kind of Irish treats people ask about the minute they disappear from the shelves. The return of Granny Mac® has already caused a little excitement around here, staff included.

Made in Ireland, easy to gift, and even easier to keep for yourself once you get them home.

Plan your next visit to Donegal Square to grab yours!

There’s a reason some glasses become part of the ritual.

The Túath Glass() was designed specifically for Irish whiskey. Shaped to settle naturally in the hand while opening up the aroma and character of the pour itself. Its curved base allows the glass to rest gently on its side before drinking, giving the whiskey a little room to breathe first.

Thoughtfully designed, easy to reach for, and the kind of piece that turns a simple pour into more of an occasion.

Some fragrances feel less like something you wear and more like something you remember later.

Innisfree by Fragrances of Ireland takes its name from W.B. Yeats’ *The Lake Isle of Innisfree*. A scent inspired by softness, stillness, and the feeling of Ireland carried quietly through the day.

Floral notes, light citrus, and warm sandalwood give it a balance that feels both fresh and familiar. Beautifully made in Ireland, and the kind of piece people tend to linger over once they pick it up.

Stop in and experience Innisfree for yourself.
