Roadside Tavern
Lisdoonvarna
17/05/2025: 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.
10/05/2025: Nous avons attendu au bar 10 minutes sans que personne ne s'occupe de nous, pour que enfin on nous dise que la cuisine fermait. Il était 19h50 !

The Irish Arms
Lisdoonvarna
17/05/2025: On May 17, we stopped here shortly after 1 p.m. during an e-bike tour from Liscannor to Doolin.
Surprisingly, a lunch menu was already available at that time, in addition to the usual lunch offerings.
We ate a delicious vegetable soup and the roast of the day, consisting of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, savoy cabbage, peas, carrots, and gravy.
We highly recommend this dish.
The pub itself is typically Irish and very cozy, and the owner is warm and hospitable.
We cannot comment on the rooms available for rent.
06/05/2025: We just arrived from Canada and entered the Irish Arms. We were not greeted or given eye contact from the bartender server. Never having tasted an Irish lager, I asked for a small sample. Her abrupt reply: we don't give samples. We left.

The Burren fast food takeaway
Lisdoonvarna
24/04/2025: Place is spotless, food very good and price not bad at all. Greated with a smile and politeness.
18/04/2025: Fantastic veggie burger. When we walked in, it did not seem like the quality would be great because the atmosphere was a little sparse, but the service was very friendly, and the food is delicious!
