Dinner
Samantha M.

A good classic Irish pub with a full bar, a Feb hardy beer options, and a mix of classic Irish pub fare and seafood dishes. The bartenders were nice, the place was busy. I didn't like that you have to order at the bar.

Fish and chips

Irish pub in small town of Doolin. Great spot for food. Stopped here for dinner on our way from the Cliffs of Moher to Galway. You sit and look at the menu and then place your order at the bar. Food comes quickly and is hot. There's not waiters or waitress so to say. They have more like busboys who come around and clean up after you're done. Wish I had more time to explore this small town!

Mussels with tomato based sauce
Monique S.

Amazing classic food! The atmosphere is boisterous and lively. That chicken (nice crisp) with the tarragon mushroom sauce has me dreaming! My sister said the wings were the best thus far and we've had them at 5 different restaurants. Also, the mussels were deliciously cooked with a tomato base. Enjoy

Fish and chips

Doolin is a small town that's a convenient stop between the Cliffs and Galway. We stopped in on the way back to Galway and quickly found a seat. They'll give you menus, but you order at the bar, and take note of the number on your table! Everyone here is super friendly and they were decorating for Halloween while we were there, also I think every tourist in Doolin was in that room. I ordered the fish and chips, which came out hot and crispy. It was exactly what you expect and a generous portion. I don't have much to say on it, but this is definitely a good stop!

Guinness

Not going to drag this out, however, Gus O'Connor's Pub is an absolute must-stop if you're in Doolin. The atmosphere is incredible, the people are welcoming, and the food is outstanding. Hands down the best Guinness beef stew I've ever had. If you're visiting Ireland, this place is worth going out of your way for.

Fresh mussels and lots of them.
Richard T.

Loved this place! Great Irish pub experience. Interesting to see all the police patches from all over the world covering the wall at the bar. This pub is very popular with both locals and tourists so naturally a bit crowded at times, yet that's part of the charm. Service is simple and straightforward. Go to the bar to order drinks and food, give them your table number and they bring the food to you. Grab your drinks as you order. Food was very good. Mussels were fresh and tender. Irish beef stew was delicious and very hardy. It was great fun!

Chicken penne
Ellena K.

Stopped in after a day at the Cliffs, great quick cozy spot for lunch. Staff were very nice, service was relatively fast, and we liked sitting outside with the sea breeze. The menu has lots of options, and a few specials. The penne chicken special was surprisingly good. The goat cheese salad was also decent. Great spot for a relaxed pub meal

Burger.
Mary R.

Wonderful place to go if you're visiting the Cliffs of Moher. The entire area of town is wonderful for a little stroll, but this pub was great after a long day of travel and sightseeing. We were able to find a table and you go up to the bar to order once you've decided. The burger was really good, but the mussels were honestly the best I've ever had. All in all, great place to relax, grab a drink and some food and enjoy some live music.

Really nice location, very close to the pier and dock for the Cliffs of Moher boat cruise. The ambiance is cozy wirh traditional decor. We started with a few beers and ciders. For lunch, we ordered the beef stew, fried chicked sandwich and the goat cheese tart with salad. The food was delicious, best we have had in Ireland so far. Overall, a nice place to refuel after sight seeing all morning!

We had a great time here. The food was good. The mussels looked like a mountain and were particularly amazing. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed the live music and the chance to relax.

See all
