Powers Thatch Bar & Restaurant
Oughterard
24/08/2025: Stopped for lunch as Oughterard was midway on our drive from Doolin to Clifden ... was thrilled to be able to stop, if only to take photos, as the name on the building matches my last name. We were able to sit and eat lunch on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The seafood chowder was the best I ate during our 2 weeks in Ireland (and I think I had seafood chowder at least 7 or 8 times) as it was chock full of seafood. Quality pour of Guinness as well. My kids rated the fish and chips highly and my wife loved the vegetable soup and brown bread. Will be back one day to linger a bit longer and sample the night life.
21/08/2025: Great atmosphere. Friendly and warm place. Rory and his colleagues are caring and very kind. Quality cuisine. Traditional music on Sunday evenings. A concentrate of Ireland just a stone's throw from Connemara. Go there without hesitation.

01/07/2025: 2yrs ago I visited Weavers and had scone&coffee and as I had eaten dinner there 3 times in few months and wasn't impressed, I decided never again.... So two years later...On end june 2025, myself and a friend called in for dinner and the place looked lovely and more cosy, the staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful as they always are and the food was delicious. I had beef stroganoff with rice&chips and my friend had beef with gravy, chips&salad. (Chips here are moreish) Both dinners were Yum! We then ordered chocolate cake,icecream,cream and tiramisu,icecream,cream and coffee. Both again were delicious. Really delighted that Weavers have upped their game and I will be meeting more friends there soon.

Hamiltons
21/08/2025: We ate at Hamiltons today with three generations of the family. It was the best experience we have had out west after many years. They made room for us, service was super, food was fabulous and Maura even went chasing us down the street when we forgot our bag! I had a daily special, the seafood platter, which was super. The kids chicken and fish were made fresh and gobbled up by our kids. Couldn’t recommend it more.
19/08/2025: Even though it's was very busy the day we went, the staff were very helpful and got us a table quickly. The food was delicious and the Guinness was amazing!!!

Ardagh
09/08/2025: Don't let the rather bland exterior fool you as behind the facade is a 5 star family run hotel and restaurant serving some of the finest food I have tasted. Lovely to relax in the Green room with lovely views after your meal. Pet friendly a real deal maker!!
08/08/2025: A very nice little hotel with tastefully furnished rooms, comfortable beds, newly renovated, a modern bathroom, a good breakfast buffet (you can order an extra breakfast), excellent taste, and everything prepared with love. Highly recommended.

McHughs Traditional Pub & Restaurant
13/09/2025: Came in for breakfast. Two gals and a man were working. Ordered the breakfast burrito which was fair, but was a super small portion. The burrito stated it came with coffee, which I ordered an Americano with it. When paying, I was charged separately and asked about it. The man checking me out was extremely standoffish and told me it was instant coffee that was included, not the Americano, however, the server was aware at the time of ordering that I specifically ordered that meal for the included coffee and she chose not to correct me. The man checking me out told me, now I know for next time. There will not be a next time. Incredibly rude staff.
04/09/2025: Have always wanted to pop in and was surprised at the size inside. Excellent front of house staff, delicious food and quick service. A place that will definitely draw you back to visit
