Great pub, hospitable owner, just like an Irish pub should be, with its interior, charming little lounges, and relaxed atmosphere. Tip: For those who are tall or large, mind your head as you enter the pub with a slight bow.

Holy cow! Who would think that a bar, a bar way in the hills, would produce such incredibly good food. I'd give it 6 or 7 stars if I could. It is worth the drive. A real destination restaurant. Compliments to all the staff that made our dinner for 40 so unbelievably good. Two 👍

Only visited the bar area but that was good enough
Good Irish pubs are like churches old dark atmospheric places with only the pump lights for candles
Meditative places you can reflect
Drink the wine and break the bread have a Guinness and a toastie
You can confess alll to the barman too if you want to
This pub is one of the best

This is a gem in Donegal. Ciaran Aisling and all the staff could not have been kinder and more fun. Great food with amazing tasters at the start.

Disappointed as didn't live up to the hype. Booked DBB based on online and friend's reviews. pub garden was lovely, really good guinness. Dinner was average but well presented will give some benefit of doubt as the weather was really hot and probably hard to make certain items well e.g brioche, choux pastry. The oysters were ruined with a sweet chilli sauce that tasted like a well known bottled brand, fish accompments didn't have a lot of flavour, best part of the meal was the rose sorbet with dessert. Very disappointed with the wine list, range was ok but prices where significantly higher than the menu online e.g. €60 not €49! Room was fine although the water temporarily ran out. Breakfast was fine, didn't mind it being continental only, cheese portions were a little meagre and the trio of cold meats were straight from a supermarket packet selection (I did question the chorizo style one for breakfast but that's personal preference). Would go back for a drink but probably not food.

My friend and I were on a golf trip to the west of Ireland. We only got as far north as Narin & Portnoo links. But we couldn't resist driving 1&1/2 hours north for a pint at the Olde Glen and dinner at their restaurant, our favorite in all of Ireland. Thanks Cormac for your hospitality and Ciaran for outstanding food. For me, the Mulroy Bay scallop appetizer is the best combination of flavors I have ever had. BTW, you can stay next door at Clara's Cots and make the whole night that much simpler. The rooms are large and very comfortable!
