Aunt Lena's Pub is an institution in Adare, County Limerick. Truly, it is a LOCAL pub in one of the prettiest villages in Ireland. It has been named the "Irish Pub of the Year" in Ireland in 2023. Visitors will find patrons of all ages here. Suggest that tourists should blend into the local scene. Menu is pub food. The craic is grand so if you do not like noise this may not be the place for you. Often, there is live music in the backroom. Please enjoy.

Was over for St Pats for 4 nights, and this was first night of eating out, love my chowder so this was the first of three I tried in Co Limerick. Well again a superb place to come, nice atmosphere, lovely pub as all Chawke Pubs are I have visited, Searsons, Bank, Oval etc, well service was great by all waitresses who looked after us, surprised it was so busy, but then again they give you a lovely irish welcome. Well to my chowder, texture of it, was nice and thick nice & creamy, but am afraid it was more a Vegetarian Version, had 3 Prawns in it, couple bits of Cod, NO MUSCLES, plenty of Veg…. Carrots especially that I despise & Potato’s, so out of all Chawk Pubs I have been to over the years, this was not so great…I think possibly the worst of all of them, and a few other restaurant/Pubs I have had them from.
The wife had Fish & Chips, and she thoroughly enjoyed it, nice bit of Cod, cooked well very enjoyable.
Sister had Beef stew she enjoyed hers, and her son had the chicken Burger, and he was happy with that.
I then had a Pudding the Pear & Almond Tart, again thoroughly enjoyed this, but downer was the chowder, NO muscles, and more Veg than Seafood. So could of been a 4-4.5 rating but Chowder let down

Nice clean spot, Food prices on a par with Dublin. Service was friendly and efficient but disappointment in my opinion with the limited menu choice, place lacks atmosphere. Parking is hard to find. Have visited Aunty Lena's many times over the past 10 years on trips from Dublin to Killarney however the establishment in my opinion has lost something of it's attraction since the pandemic. Better value and more varied menu found up the street.
