Off The Square in Clifden

25/07/2026: Tipping in Ireland is not like the U.S. (unless you eat here). First place in 4 trips to Ireland that “automatically add 10% gratuity” and unlike the states, where automatic gratuities are added when the party size is 6 or more people, this is added regardless of party size. I always tip when here anyway, so not a big deal, just never saw that anywhere but here. Food was wonderful, service good. Our first time here MANY years ago was to a bar… they have redone the place since and completely different vibe as mainly a restaurant with a tiny bar.

25/07/2026: Food and service was second to none.
