The best restaurants in Clare

31/07/2025: Unique bar/pub with its labyrinthine spaces and decor Very popular with locals - large selection of beers

05/07/2025: Great old bar that has live music.

13/08/2025: We were going to place an order for delivery as we were staying in the owners air BNB attached to their house. He advertised his business in the bnb. Owners were unapologetic about the filthy conditions of the house and we had no choice but to leave early due to multiple health hazards in their property. I ordered from A1 instead and it was no exaggeration to say it was one of the best or the best satays I've ever had in Ireland. I wouldn't want to see what the state of their kitchen is in the restaurant they own considering their unit was a mess and even though it was paid for 8 months ago that place had dust everywhere that had been there for years, mold and grime everywhere. Their attitude with us showed their poor customer service as well. Why would you want to order from nasty people who aren't clean even in their own home when there are two other Chinese restaurants steps away with from the looks of the other reviews cheaper and better food. We are all sick and have rashes after staying in their bnb and I wouldn't chance eating anything they'd make.

23/05/2025: Food was freshly cooked and was tasty.. service was excellent .

10/06/2025: We had a group of 14 where the food, the service and the ambience were impecable. All the food was excellent, my rack of lamb was rare as I ordered and everyone was raving about the food. The service was also great. I don’t think our guest experienced anything different from a party of 6 or 8. The food was timely and arrived generally at the same time. This was enough to create a great evening but the ambience was even better. We started in the private bar, moved to the beautiful dining room with a view of the medieval tower and the Atlantic. At sunset we were treated to a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic in the West of Ireland

02/06/2025: Decided to have dinner in this pub been under new management and I heard it was serving good food. Much disappointed with both of us served really over cooked chips we tried eating them but horrible plus way too much garlic butter in a sandwich. Bottled water left on tables very warm should be served cold when guests sit down. Disappointing. I wouldn't be rushing back. Staff prompt and efficient.

31/05/2025: Best of the best! When O’Donohues pub went under new management—it was by amazing folks who appreciate the unique charm and history of this pub. It’s still Fanore at its finest!! The food and service is consistently wonderful—we’re working our way through the menu—plenty of interesting, delicious options! The prices are an excellent value for top quality —not gratuitously inflated because of location. It’s worth a trip to Fanore just to eat here, and —on the way— see the breathtaking coastal views of R477 and the Wild Atlantic Way! Bravo, O’Donohues!!!

30/11/2025: Very good take away. Quick service. Straight to the point. Food small bit on the salty side. But very tasty

13/06/2025: Got caught commenting on the deasy sisters TikTok. Very VERY strange behaviour

09/08/2024: I've ordered from here two times, both have been slightly disappointing. The tapioca pearls were slightly stodgy and didn't have a very fresh texture, and the drinks tasted very artificial. The service was okay, but the shop isn't a very nice place to sit in while you have your drink. Overall I feel there's a lot to be desired, 4.9/10.

30/07/2024: literally the cutest place ever!!! staff is so kind and the boba is amazing <33

24/08/2023: Coffee is not well made. Was better last year. Payment through cash or Revolut only? Strange.

15/06/2025: I did not have a good experience here this evening. I visited here with friends, and there was a wedding party who were stuck up and just awful, this place is up a back alley by the way… We came out for a while, and were not allowed back in by the door staff, the wedding party clearly took preference. …cheap and cheerful. Not my cup of tea, I will not be returning here.

30/09/2024: Though it was very quiet when we got there as we were there just after A Tractor run had been there. It's off the beaten track so unless you are looking for it you wouldn't know there's a pub there. It's a very old pub with lots of original furniture etc. Outside looks like it has the potential to be a nice beer garden in the summer that host all sorts of events. We hope to return again in the near future.

28/07/2024: Love this local watering hole :) Steeped in history that the owners are only delighted to share over a pint!
