Bill Chawke's Bar in Adare

A great Irish pub in Adare. We were looking for music and a little nosh, which they don't really have, especially on weekdays. They do have music on weekends tho; however, it isn't a dining place. It is a bar, but a very clean open, comfortable space. Big Al took care of us - made a couple calls and got great Irish music...later a woman with a harp came by and joined our little trio of gentlemen! We had 24 people in our group on a golf birthday trip. Al was able to get a few platters of bar food (chicken, sausages, and fries), even though he said we could bring in food ourselves. The place was packed with our crew along with other locals and travellers. Big Al (he is very tall!) was taking care of everyone so graciously and easily. It was a perfect celebration to finish our 10 day trip..our group left the next day. If you have a chance to visit, say hello to Big Al with gratitude from the Americans!

Beer was good but too much noise

What a genuinely friendly and authentic pub. We walked in and received a heart warming welcome from Coner who has a wealth of knowledge and information for any would-be travellers. Coner very kindly helped me with my whiskey choice and even brought out the special boxes and the Hurley (see photos)! What a treat! Highly recommend
