We've had a wonderful summer here on Main Street Omagh welcoming many visitors, tourists and locals to the heart of the town. We have had many fabulous days and nights on Main Street with events inlcuding a visit from Dominic Kirwan and performance outside Seán Óg's Tourist Pub of the Year. On 21st July we were delighted to welcome hundreds of Dublin GAA supporters to the Main Street Fan Zone for the Tyrone v Dublin match. With large screens showing the match indoor and outside, live music and food and drinks served late into the night, the atmosphere and the banter was absolutely incredible! From the reviews they left with us, they were overwhelmed by the welcome and hospitality our town had given them.
On 11th and 12th August, the Omagh Food Festival kicked off on Main Street. This was a wonderful family occassion with live cooking demos, celebrity chef Paula McIntyre, food stalls and live music during the two days. We also welcomed back international celtic rock band "More Power To Your Elbow' for an unforgettable perfomance plus many more superb bands including "The Whistln' Donkeys', "All Folk'd Up' and "Flash Harry".
Main Street has been buzzing all summer and our line up of live music and the growth of our GAA Fan Zone has enhanced the heart of the town, transforming it into a tourist hub and a place where everyone can come together and enjoy great food and drinks, live music and fabulous events.
Photos of all events are available to view on our Facebook. In the meantime, have a browse through these and keep following our social media pages for latests events and live bands. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

• Just spent a night at Rooms at Rue and what a relaxing night we had . We were made very welcome the moment we arrived as the staff were all amazing. The food was delicious and we finished the evening with a trad session. Breakfast was chilled out and relaxed and I didn't want to leave. To all the staff I would like to say thank you. The room was meticulous and I honestly couldn't complain about anything. I'm really looking forward to going back soon. Rita Deans.
• Location was perfect, room was lovely, secure parking close by and gluten free options at breakfast topped off a great stay.
• Staff were great, food was excellent, location was great right in the heart of the town as for breakfast the portions were massive you couldn't finish it I would recommend anybody going to stay in Omagh stay in the Rue 10 out of 10 for everything.
• My wife held a surprise birthday party for my 50th birthday recently and part of her treat was for us to stay a night in Rooms @ Rue, as friends of ours from Wales, England and Belfast had already booked to stay the night. In short, the rooms are amazing, as we all testified at breakfast downstairs in Rue the following morning.
We arrived back in the early hours to be greeted by friendly staff who showed us down the plush corridors to our room which offered a lovely view of Omagh's Market Street illuminated at night. The decor of the rooms is of the highest design and quality, tastefully done with an eye for detail, as good if not better than any hotel room I stay in throughout Britain and Ireland when travelling for work. Very spacious too, with a king-size bed and comfortable mattress, and not a sound to be heard even in middle of Omagh. The en-suite bathroom is very modern, and has everything including all the fancy hand-soaps and moisturisers etc. which my wife utilised but I skipped, me being a typical Alpha male from Tyrone etc!!
A dozen or so of us each had a full Irish the following morning, which was superb, and Charlie and the staff couldn't have been more attentive. I certainly would recommend a stay at Rue and accommodation is at a very reasonable price too. A great experience, well done.
This wonderful "Bijou" hotel was a joy to stay in. The seemingly newly refurbished rooms are London 5 star standard. The welcome from the manager, Kamel and his staff was a breath of fresh air! Breakfast on leaving was a hearty "Full Irish" which left me sustained until I arrived home in Wales many hours later. I would advise all who visit to pay attention to the directions given on line....the hotel was a little difficult to find without satnav details (our fault) .......I would not hesitate to stay in Rue again...
The hotel is really amazing! The most impressive point is the fantastic view from the window! Safe and comfortable, well-equipped with all of the facilities we needed. Very friendly staff and beautiful town. Cannot recommend enough...Really enjoyed the trip to ireland!
