The Corner House

Peter Oliver's Corner House is a family run pub located in the tourist village of Ardara. The Corner House is your typical warm and friendly Irish pub with an open fire and those truly wonderful Irish characters drinking Guinness at the bar during the afternoons. During the summer months, there is music every night of the week. Everyone is welcome to join in the sing song and over the years we have been privileged to have musicians from all over the world join us. Indeed, if you are lucky, you could easily stumble upon an afternoon session that visiting musicians might decide to start in the relaxed atmosphere by the open fire in the front bar.

Right next door to our hotel we were attracted in by the music. One guy on a guitar and he was very good as were the local singers who sang us some good songs. Bar was nicely laid out and comfortable. Went back for a second night and again had an enjoyable evening.

The Forge

Reviewed By dlynch200 - Donegal Town, Ireland

I will say I do live about a 2 minute walk from this pub and lived here for about 3 years now but have never actually visited this pub until recently. It is a lovely wee pub for a quite pint, I loved the way they keep a guitar stored behind the bar, it reminds me of an old Irish bar.

Fantastic atmospheric pub and you can be sure of a nice warm welcome from Michael and Jackie, great place to meet friends and family. You can always nip in here after Mass and hear a few confessions. We loved it.

Patrick Johnny Sally

Reviewed By alibroon - Wishaw, United Kingdom

We had two nights in Dungloe and finished both of them off enjoying a pint in this really comfortable,friendly bar. The pub has been done up really nicely with a fantastic outdoor decking area at the back with amazing views. The staff and locals sitting at the bar were very friendly and we enjoyed listening to their chat. Toilets were spotless too.

The Railway Bar

Reviewed By roly13x

This is the best pub in Bundoran, very nice stout served by professional staff. Beer etc is very reasonably priced. This pub is very honest, you get all you need, it's spotless clean with some nice historic photos on the walls. It's ideally located in the centre of town just yards away from the holyrood hotel and 2 minutes walk from the beach. This bar will not dissapoint any visitor who wants to experience an authentic Irish pub.
