Brogan’s Quay was situated along the River Foyle. The location at the time housed an entire community that was entrenched in fishing. Fishing at this time, was a lucrative way for the average person to make a living. This unlocked opportunities for people like Maggie’s family, and the surrounding community to not just provide for themselves and their families but also to seek out business opportunities and create more work for themselves and others. Maggie went on to build the present day Maggies Tavern on its site now in Carrickmore, StJohnston. Maggie passed away; however, her legacy remains through her family.

Today, Maggies Tavern features a pub and restaurant, with live music, darts, talent competitions, charity events, pool, cards, pub quizzes and live football on the big screens on a regular basis.
