  If staying and Doolin make it a visit on a Monday night they have live entertainment and usually a travel bus with exciting people to enjoy the crack couldn't have had a better time and the food is wonderful

  What a wonderful welcome to the town of Doolin! Super helpful and happy service. You could tell employees cared about their job here, really sought to take care of us. Knew great descriptions for the food and drink, and a great atmosphere. Some of the better pub food tasted in Ireland! Would recommend!
  
  Hearty dinner and great dessert (toffee pudding was 👌).

  A great stop when you're on a trip to Doolin. The acoustics are fantastic for the live music and the food is brilliant. Definitely worth a visit

  Lovely family pub. Welcoming staff. Steaks are juicy, lamb burgers are delicious, pints are cold and fresh. Visit with family or friends. Great spot for everyone.

  This kind publican came with my wife to collect me after I finished the Cliffs of Moher walk into Doolin. I had a most welcome couple of pints and a nice lunch.

  You don't know why but you just love it. It's an old, dated isolated but perfect Irish pub. Food is great, staff is kind and decor is what every tourist would expect. We stopped on our way to the cliffs of moher.

  My husband and I are on our first real vacation in 5 years. The food is good, service fast. We visited early on a Thursday night, so I can't speak to the music. We were asked if we would share the small table by the staff about 30 minutes after arriving, I declined. The waitress explained to me that sharing is a way people can make friends. She didn't intend to sound patronizing and shaming. What I did not feel inclined to explain to her is I've been sharing my husband with graduate schools, careers, and our child/families for years and this week was the short time I had with him to enjoy. I was embarrassed and my husband knew if we didn't leave, I would not have enjoyed the rest of our evening at the pub. There was a family at a nearby table. The Dad leaned over and said, "Stick it out. Head down. You did the right thing. No guilt." He was Irish, and I hadn't broken an Irish law of not wanting to make friends. I made eye contact with the rest of his family and all of their eyes sparked in agreement. My guilt eradicated, we stayed and enjoyed a whisky and ice cream - and continued to enjoy our conversation and laughter together. I appreciate that businesses have to operate, but so too do marriages.
