Shanleys Bar in Clonakilty

Lovely pub. No music tonight unfortunately

To quote a certain beverage provider, Shanleys is probably the best pub in Ireland for atmosphere and Live music. With no cover charge you can expect to see a quality of music that would as easily sit in a 10,000 person venue as it does in Shanleys. It's rich history as a live music venue preceeds itself and it really is wonderful to see the range of performers and music styles here. With some of the biggest names in music having performed here over the years its a treasure trove of history on the walls with photos and posters from years gone by. One of the best pints of Guinness and Murphys around too! Staff here are always delighted for a chat whether you are in on your own for a quiet drink or a group to enjoy your visit. Fantastic beer garden at the back too for any event. Thanks to all in Shanleys.

Was in Shanleys Bar at 12:30 for a 1pm gig, Moonfriuits out of Ottawa, Canada, part of the Clonakilty International Music Festival. Friendly and helpful staff - a good 2 pints. By second tune the pub was completely jammered with people listening from outside the front door. Great band, great pub. All good.

Wonderful staff and great atmosphere
