Hearty basic food. Nice beer. Friendly, helpful staff. Interesting Polar Exploration association (Tom Crear) and artefacts. Likely to be busy so book if you really want to go.
We visited this restaurant in Annascaul, Ireland, and I enjoyed it very much. The food was excellent, and the story telling was great! I learned a lot about Tom Cream, the Antarctic explorer. The stories were so interesting! I would highly recommend a visit to the South Pole Inn in Ireland.
07/05/2025: We happened in on a night when the South Pole Inn was closed for a menu change. In spite of the place being understaffed, the young and beautiful Aimee put on a brave face and hosted the entire pub like a seasoned veteran. The pizza was worth the wait and the camaraderie with the other patrons was lovely. Absolutely recommend.
30/04/2025: Lovely get together in a nice setting. The group was very pleased with the chicken tender and chips, pizza, and the cottage pie. Myself being a coeliac ( gluten free) had goats cheese salad and a pizza, toppings substituted to suite. The cottage pie was also gluten free. Choice of two delicious deserts, gluten free brownie being one option and it was lovely.
