Durty Nelly's in Bunratty

Overall pretty underwhelming, food is average pub food, which is fine, didn’t expect fine dining. However it’s overpriced considerably. Service from waiting staff was good, service from staff member encountered on arrival was subpar, borderline rude, appeared surprised and almost frustrated to find us standing at the sign stating “please wait to be seated” situated in the middle of a main walkway through the restaurant. If you don’t want people to stand there, move the sign. Unwelcoming and it felt like we were inconveniencing. Atmosphere is average pub vibe, lots of American related paraphernalia on the walls, very clearly target at the tourists passing and visiting the castle. If I’m dropping €87 for a meal, I expect all boxes to be ticked. (2 mains, mains were [Carbonara and fish and chip]2 deserts, [Cheesecake and Sticky toffee]1 drink each, coke. ) We’d be in no rush back.

Always 10 out of 10 in Dirty Nelly's. A must visit if in the vicinity

This traditional and historic pub, dating back to 1620, sits at the foot of Bunratty Castle, making it easy to visit both. A must-see if you're passing through! The atmosphere is quaint, and the price of a pint of Guinness (currently €6.50) is decidedly reasonable compared to those found in larger cities. As I wrote about the Castle, I don't consider Bunratty a must-see if you're short on time. However, if you have several days and land at Shannon Airport (which is well-connected!), a visit is certainly enjoyable!

A beautiful typical Irish Pub located near Bunratty Castle. Best to book before you go.

A wonderful pub and another must-visit after Bunratty Castle! The pint is always full, the food is delicious and fresh, and the service is quick, attentive, and almost familial. Even as a newcomer, you quickly get the feeling you've been there a hundred times. Combined with the wonderfully rustic atmosphere, everything just fits together perfectly – highly recommended.

Truly an Irish tradition if you are in the area!

Family day out.good time was had by all.

What a brilliant unique place to visit

Very busy spot. Had to wait awhile to be served. But

Great food, great service, great Guinness, great band playing outside. Perfect!
