Cornerstone Bar
Lahinch
09/10/2025: After a long days travel from Dublin this was just what I needed. The waitress was top notch when I asked about the different beers and I tried a local IPA. Service was also superfast and the food came in almost as quick.
06/10/2025: Very good, absolutely recommended.

Durty Nelly's
Bunratty
23/10/2025: This place is so cool! Felt like I was stepping back in time. Not only is it a very old bar but its cool name is the cherry on top.
I got a beer within 2 minutes of walking in at one of the multiple they had on the first floor.
Decided I was hungry and wanted a seafood chowder to take away.
They unfortunately do not have take away containers for soup, giving it to me in a coffee cup container. That wasn’t really an issue, I’m easy going. What was an issue, they gave my cousin 4 pieces of brown bread and didn’t give me any! I had to ask for the bread, again not a problem to ask but I wanted 4 pieces! Why was he so special! His wife said it’s because he’s cute but idk I think I got the looks not him! The soup is something I’m on the hunt for. Need the best soup. No this was not it. It was good and it made me realize I like mussels but it wasn’t a contender for best soup.
20/10/2025: Great place to visit lovely pub and surroundings

Oar Restaurant
23/09/2025: The place was absolutely great ! The room was super clean, pretty with all the amenities you could expect. But what was the best was the person that welcomed us with great tips about the area and made us save about 30€ at the Cliff of Mohers & have an awesome time there with barely anyone around. It was magical and worthed waking up a bit early. Thanks a millions ! Hope we'll come back and try the food !
19/09/2025: We recently returned for our second visit this year. First time was for the location, and outstanding accommodation.
But this time we just stayed to have dinner.
Absolutely FLAWLESS!!
Our only fault (if it could be a fault?l is that we were so full after two outstanding courses, we had no room for dessert. A week later, I'm getting a terrible dose of "FOMO" (Fear of Missing Out).
A huge thank you to Kieran and your excellent staff, for looking after us so well.
See you soon.

Joseph McHugh
Liscannor
08/09/2025: A genuine Irish pub that's very popular with locals, so it's not too touristy. We had a delicious meal (one curry, one bangers and mesh). The service was super friendly!
08/09/2025: Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food was delicious and truly exceeded expectations — fresh, hearty, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was everything you hope for in an Irish countryside pub: cozy, welcoming, and full of character. But what impressed us the most was the kindness and genuine warmth of the staff — the level of hospitality was simply outstanding.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area — a true gem!

10/09/2024: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Vaughan, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. This charming and cozy restaurant is perfect for special occasions, offering an intimate atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail, both in the service and the menu, made the evening exceptional. Whether you're celebrating a special moment or simply want to enjoy a fantastic meal, Vaughan is the perfect choice. Highly recommended.

Pot Duggans
Ennistymon
05/10/2025: terrible, terrible, terrible!!!!! We waited 60 minutes for Turkish eggs. After the customers who came later at the next table got hamburgers, we left without eating.
05/10/2025: The waiter was very slow. We ordered coffee, 10 minutes later he came back saying he forgot what kind of coffee we wanted. He told us our food would take 20 minutes to prepare. It took an hour! He didn't even apologize. I don't recommend.

Foodies Korner
Ennistymon
01/10/2025: What a wee gem! Fabulous Irish breakfast, (and the rest) with friendly staff, that you just know when you see them are going to deliver real home cooking like mother used to make.
And then there is their bakery! Wow! This is worthy of travelling to. Amazing range of luxurious super sized home made treats that makes it very difficult to pick just one favourite. Definitely heading back here every year now on trips to Clare. Well done ladies fabulous to see a business that have 110% nailed what they do!
21/09/2025: Friendly welcome, quick service, wholesome food and a fantastic strawberry sponge cake.
