Roadside Tavern in Lisdoonvarna

10 out of 10 fantastic food great Guinness music and friendly staff 👌

Lovely experience, good service and great food! Highly recommended.

We had drinks there in the evening. It was really great. Some older people brought their instruments and started making music. Wonderful. Great atmosphere. We also wanted to eat there, but we were too late to make a reservation.

the food was very good and authentic irish cuisine which i just adored. me and my dad went there in late may of this year for a trip to ireland. they made a special accomadation for us since someone else booked the table we had that day in about 30-60 minutes from the time we had got there. i enjoyed the stout and beef stew which was so good and it has been some time since i went i forgot what my dad had. i also barely remember them having a food/parking arrangement with the irish salmon smokers nearby. i highly suggest to those who want an authentic irish meal before seeing the cliffs of moher and i would come again if i could. the cost is 10-30 euros per person.

Food nice enough wouldn't give it 5 star. Foreign lady was so abrupt not at all customer friendly. Building needs a good clean up and regular food checking

My family had an amazing experience at the Roadside Tavern. We chose to go there at the last minute after visiting the Cliffs of Moher. It was very busy but we got a seat quickly. Service was a little slow given how busy it was, but the atmosphere was amazing. Local musicians played songs and when the food finally arrived it was incredible. We hope to return.

Beautiful atmosphere, truly excellent food, and friendly, welcoming staff. The live music session was fantastic!

Very good dishes made with good local products, very friendly welcome. Good beers. The portions could be more generous (fish dishes). Make a reservation to get a table.

Recently finished a motorcycle trip round some of the Wild Atlantic Way and this place was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. It was recommended by our hotel who booked us a table at very short notice which was very helpful as when we arrived the place was packed. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We tried one of the beers they make in their own microbrewery which was excellent. For starters my wife had the chowder and I had the prawns from the specials board. Both were excellent. We both had the steak and ale pie, with mash and my wife thought the gravy which came with the mash was amazing. The live music was very good (obviously depends whether you like traditional Irish music or not). What I particularly liked was that the music was at a volume where you could listen to it but still have a conversation. We were so impressed with the whole experience that we booked a table for the following night. This was a good choice as we were able to try the Halibut dish which was on the specials board. It was absolutely fantastic. Not quite Michelin star but not far off. The second night also gave us a chance to try one of the other beers they make as well as trying their own whiskey which is definitely worth a go. My only slight grumble is that the main menu includes a couple of choices of wine which we chose from on our first visit however when we went on the second night we were given a full wine list. If you're going ask for the full wine list as there are some very nice wines on there. A couple of points to note - Book a table and get in early as the specials board seems to run out very quick. Probably because the food on it is superb. Definitely try something from the specials board. This probably isn't the cheapest place you can go but it is value for money as the food is exceptionally high quality. I can't recommend this place highly enough. The staff were fantastic, especially Andrew and Bridie. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was so welcoming. We're planning to do the west coast of Ireland next year again and will probably have to plan a route where we can stop here again.

Awesome spot! Amazing food - we had crab claws, oysters, lamb chops, and burger. Traditional Irish musicians played in the evening. My girls were allowed to stay and listen. Highly recommend!!
