Durty Nelly's in Bunratty

Our last beverage before returning to Massachusetts after our Bunratty Medieval feast and ten days of exploring the area. Durty Mary's has a quintessential Irish atmosphere with a relaxed vibe and a great musician tucked away who was quite good. We had accidentally deleted the phone number for our cab and the bartender demonstrated the best hospitality by securing us another cab, and he also kept watch for us. He even escorted us to meet the driver. We had a great conversation with some native Northerners also on holiday ending our evening with hugs and handshakes. Thank you for your hospitality.

Been coming to Durty Nellys since I was a kid. We fly over a few times a year and always visit. However this was the first time ordering food. The food was delicious, I had the steak sandwiches and it was huge. The portion was definitely worth the money. They have a good size menu and can't fault any of it. The pub itself is beautiful, very traditional with lots to look at. It is very enticing from the outside too. It has loads of little nook and crannys to sit too.

Our least favorite place about the castle. Everyone in the castle was lovely and friendly. Everyone in this place seemed like they didn’t like Americans or didn’t want us there. Did not feel welcomed. Food was good.

Great wee pub met the wolfe tones here... staff and customers very friendly.

I am very glad that I managed to drink real Irish beer for the first time in this very real and oldest Irish pub. I read a very interesting history of the pub on your website. It's a pity that I couldn't sit for long, but the atmosphere of the pub is simply magical. A very old building and a lot of artifacts, hung and placed in every corner of the pub. The beer was very tasty and very strong :) or I got drunk from fatigue :) Thank you very much for the hospitality from Ukraine.

Traditional Turkey and ham meal (A today special) was excellent. Guinness on tap. Corona on tap.

Just outside Bunratty Castle, a magical traditional pub with a great atmosphere and delicious food. Top!

Great local pub for bites and brews after a long flight into Shannon. We had a soup with toaste and my fiancée had the bacon and cabbage which was cooked perfectly and topped with an herb creme sauce. If you happen to be of fire / police / EMS etc. they collect patches from around the world, bring one and leave it.

Visiting the oldest pub was a real treat! We toured Bunratty Castle and then stopped in for lunch. The food was great! The atmosphere was even better. They have first responder patches from all over and we even found the police patch from our home town! This was a really fun lunch and I highly recommend.

Angela McGrath was an amazing representative for the restaurant as she greeted us with a friendly smile and genuine welcome, and she made us feel right at home. She was professional, kind, and went out of her way to gift a Sticky Toffee Pudding to me when she learned it was my birthday, and the entire staff sang along. The food was amazing, the Guinness was top notch, and the service was delightful! We highly recommend this lovely pub and restaurant!
