Bobby Ewing from Dallas and his wife visited Duffy’s Bar in Annagry.
Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl are on a tour of all the Duffy's Pubs in Donegal, Galway, Dublin, and Mayo. Their mission is to visit as many pubs called Duffy’s as possible – and along the way, spend time in other bars meeting locals, hearing stories, absorbing history, and seeing how things have changed.
The trip around Ireland also takes them to the Hi-B in Cork, Jim O'The Mills in Tipperary, and The Flowing Tide in Dublin. Patrick Duffy is famous as Bobby Ewing from Dallas. A third-generation Irishman, he grew up in his parents’ bar in Montana and now owns his own bar in Hollywood.
Always fascinated by the communities that form around their local bar, Patrick has decided to return to Ireland with his partner, actress Linda Purl, to see for himself how Irish bars have evolved as he journeys through his beloved country on his way home.
