The Abbey Tavern
Quin
04/05/2026: Very tasty food, good size portions in reasonable price. Nice selection of menu and specials of the day. Helpful and friendly staff. We've been here couple times. Over the weekend is busy, so recommend reservation (but it's not necessary). Possible to park on the street parking.

Roadside Tavern
Lisdoonvarna
16/06/2026: Went here for dinner while visiting Lisdoonvarna. It was very busy for dinner but we were lucky enough to only wait 10 minutes for a table. The food was so tasty and flavoursome. They also brew their own beers which are great! We came back for lunch a few days later for the beef & stout pie & mash which didn't disappoint. Definitely recommend booking ahead during busy times.
10/06/2026: So good it'll bring you to tears

Knox's
Ennis
16/06/2026: Lovely pub. Lovely staff and great food.
13/06/2026: The pub offers excellent food. We were passing by. We ordered Seafood Chower and Beef stew. I liked beef stew better, it's little salty, but with combination of mashed potato, it was perfect.

Henrys Bistro & Wine Bar
Ennis
04/05/2026: A nice restaurant, the wine list was a little underwhelming.
01/05/2026: We visited Henry's Bistro the first night of our arrival in Ennis. We listened to some early hours trad music then decided to have dinner. Henry's is highly rated, so we decided to see if we could get in without a reservation on this rainy Thursday. Fortunately, we did. Now, I could carry on about the excellent seafood chowder, wonderful bread or scrumptious apple tart, but my husband and I both delighted in the feather blade beef braised in red wine. This isn't a cut we see in California, and although Google will tell you it is flank steak--it is not. This lovely piece of grass-fed and finished local Hereford is from the upper shoulder and it was amazing. The portions were really generous. We had the fixed price menu with a bottle of wine from a curated wine list. If you're in Ennis and looking for something that's maybe not traditional Irish food but truly exceptional locally raised food, this is the place you want to go.

McGann's Pub

Food was very affordable compared to similar pubs

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.

Cornerstone Bar
Lahinch
23/05/2026: Food was good. Service was terrible. Rare to see so many sour service staff.
22/05/2026: We stayed a night in Lahinch and had the best trad pub experience here! Food was amazing and so comforting on a cool rainy night. A trio of musicians came in and played beautifully. A perfect evening for a couple of Texans.

Durty Nelly's
Bunratty
25/05/2026: made reservations which was a good thing! so many celebrations made it a loud place, but we were able to chat.
23/05/2026: Interesting place, good Guiness, good service.
Most of our meals were good. However, advertising Fish and chips as being fresh Haddock is untrue!! We got Hake! And it was overcooked so went a bit like cotton wool in your mouth!
Bad idea just to increase profits as Hake is a cheaper fish!!
