The Abbey Tavern
Quin
04/09/2026: Self and wife eat there regularly! Excellent tasty food! Helpful front-of-house staff!
13/08/2026: We spent a little over a week touring London, Inverness, Dublin and Sixmilebridge on a family trip. During the entire trip, the best meal we had was at The Abbey Tavern…by a large margin…and our second best meal was at The Abbey Tavern. Incredible food, excellent, friendly service and even reasonably priced. Save room for dessert…they are fantastic. Real authentic Irish Tavern. If I had a complaint, it’s that the kitchen closes at 6:00 pm, so we couldn’t go there a third and fourth time for dinner. But, if you eat a late lunch there, you probably won’t need dinner. Go, to see Quinn Abbey, then stay for lunch at The Abbey Tavern.

McDermott's Pub
17/08/2026: In 2012. Dropped in one nite, to listen to music. Perfect...no amplifiers....good meal...people spoke quietly, so everyone could hear the music. Asked the bartender who would be playing the next nite. She shrugs and says " Ah, whoever comes ". So we went 2 more nites. The last nite met some people from Ennis, the pub was closing, musicians had left, the guys formed a little circle and started singing then a girl joined them. Great memories. Me from AZ, USA.
16/08/2026: A fun night in Juge 2026, US girls and VIP Johnny

Dromoland Castle
30/05/2026: There’s a reason why this is a 5 Star resort and they earn every day. The service was impeccable, staff were friendly and helpful, grounds were glorious and the room was spacious. We did the falconry class which was an amazing experience while being educational. I didn’t get to golf, but the course looked breathtaking.
The location is a little remote, but the food and drinks on property were spot on!
07/05/2026: One of the most unique and gorgeous places we've ever stayed. Highly recommend!

Ivy Cottage
27/08/2026: Looked amazing. Didn’t stop as couldn’t find a parking spot.
23/08/2026: It's a very cozy place, but they have a rule that you can only order alcoholic drinks if you order a meal. Which doesn't make sense because you drink more than you eat. So if you're thinking of going out for drinks, this really isn't the place.

Roadside Tavern
Lisdoonvarna
18/08/2026: Great food. Excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff. And trade music too. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Ireland!
Special salute to Andrew & Peter too. I enjoyed the tapas in Galway, gents. Sláinte!
17/08/2026: Very dirty, sticky tables, unfriendly service. We were given a timeframe for when the table should be free again, as we hadn't made a reservation. When we then went to order, no server appeared. We left the restaurant.

McGann's Pub
18/08/2026: A very good experience. There was a bit of a queue at the entrance, but a server managed the waiting list very efficiently. We waited about twenty minutes before being seated. The food arrived very quickly, and the traditional music started around 9:00 PM. Great atmosphere and good food. The pub is full of eclectic decorations.
15/08/2026: A proper pub. We stopped here for a very late lunch on a day tour with the Galway Tour Company. They seated us with other people so the entire bus could fit, and it turned out to be an interesting addition to the trip getting to interact with other tourists.
Food was pretty good, and prices were reasonable. Service was very fast!

Danny Mac's
Lahinch
16/05/2026: A lively restaurant. A constant flow of people. The service is efficient and, despite the stress, manages everything with ease and appears relaxed. Despite the hustle and bustle, we were seated at the bar for a few minutes without a reservation. Here we could browse the menu and order our first drinks. The food arrived quickly and tasted delicious.
06/05/2026: Perfectly adequate meal for us who are not geared towards golf in a golf town. Server was new and eager to help.
