Although smallish, it has two fireplaces, a few mini sofas, several plush easy chairs, a tall bistro table and a communal dining table for weary radio/audio makers to settle into, enjoy a drink or four and relax. I had their signature hot tea & whisky toddy with lemon, cloves and a bit of sugar. I also had a few Bushmills as one does. They have a full espresso service as well for a quick daytime pick-me-up but honestly, as I believe day-drinking was invented in Ireland, a coffee functions more like a gateway drug here with a pint or something quick to follow. It should be known that the prices are a bit more than other spots on main street but the slight uptick is worth it for the vast collection of curiosities and knick knacks that line the shelves and the general inimitable vibe--it's like a mini museum with drinks! The owners/bartenders/hosts are very kind and cheerful. I had done a bit of shopping earlier at the butcher's for a dinner party the following day and they refrigerated my purchases until I was ready to leave. For a brief shining moment, I felt like a local, at my "local" (aka pub) and I can't wait to go back to Kilfinane to experience this again. Thanks, Kellehers, you're lovely!

The "Cajun" chicken wrap was a lot different than I expected but still good. It has a little bit of sweetness to it that I don't associate with Cajun food.

My wife had the Toasty grilled cheese with ham and turkey. It was very nice and the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. They overcharged us by six euros on that special. But we didn't notice it until we had left. I'm sure there's plenty of other places around that are as good or better.

We are glad that we went to Sean's pub in the evening. We had wanted to hear some live Irish music and lo and behold they had it the night we went. They have live music on Mondays and Fridays. The atmosphere was quaint with a warm feel. The food and service were exceptional! We had the Warm Goats Cheese Crostini and Fish Cakes which were recommended by Sean. They were both very tasty and we highly recommend both! All of the beer tasted fantastic! They must be really diligent about cleaning their draught lines! The pint of Guinness was the best I had in Ireland including the brewery itself! They had beer from a craft brewery called McGargles. The pale ale from them was very tasty! All in all this is a great little pub and not to be missed while in Adare!
