I tried a few different types, but always ended up with Jamison in the end. Bartenders were great, I never felt like a customer but more like a friend. I never once had to ask for a drink or had to get their attention..loved how attentive they were. My group grabbed seats just as it started to get crowded, once the music started it felt like everyone in the streets just filed in. It was packed, everyone was having fun signing and drinking ... one big party. I met and had so many great conversations with both locals and people from all over the world. When the music would stop half the crowd would clear out... unitl the next band started. Lot's of fun here, smooth wide selection of whiskey and great music.

It was quite busy at 1 pm on a Sunday in early June but we still got a table for two at the back bar area without delay. The space was filled with lots of cozy seating nooks for 2-4 people. Larger groups might struggle to squeeze in as it's pretty busy. As we were seated near the kitchen, we saw lots of delicious looking items coming out after we ordered a burger (huge) and the tempora battered prawns. The burger was a bit disappointing with a very firm dense texture. The chips (fries) were good along with the battered shrimp.

Walking in during a during a driving rain storm (Storm Bram) it's cozy with a beautiful large bar flanked by tables and a charcoal burning fireplace. Wasn't busy so I got a spot right by the fireplace. Service was great, the bartender waited on me and was very professional, they said. Now this joint has been around for a long time and on many "best" lists, etc.... they are known for their local seafood dishes. Large menu consisting of soups, sandwiches, mains such as fish & chips/ chicken curry and also artisan pizza! They also have Daily Seafood Specials that change daily. Asked for some recos and he said you have to try the mussels. Kicked it off with a Guinness and Coonemara seafood chowder with local fresh & smoked seafood... was outstanding. Next, steamed Killary mussels in a coconut milk/ chili sauce served with garlic bread. This may have been the best dish I had on a 14 day trip & I went everywhere! Must order. For the main I ordered their burger with aged cheddar MR, was good with great fries. Again, service was impeccable and prices very average make it a must stop in Clifden! Talk later

It was almost 4:00 pm and some restaurants were ready to serve dinner. I saw Mitchell's was to serve lunch until 4:30 pm. So we went. The servers and the manager (could be the owner) were very friendly and quick. Both my friend and I ordered the Hereford beef burger. I ordered a seafood chowder and pistachio cake for dessert. The chowder truly hit the spot. It wasn't thick and full of seafood. The burger was good, but I think the fries cut was too thick. It was nice the burger came with a small salad, which we didn't know and my friend ordered a small side salad. So we ended up with lots of salad. The fresh cream on the dessert plate was delicious. It went well with the pistachio cake. However, it was a bit hard to taste the pistachio. We chatted up with a couple who bike to Clifden once a year and they always come to Mitchell's for lunch, especially for the seafood chowder and crème brûler. High praise indeed. Highly recommend this place. I picked the right place.
