Buncrana Cinema

Reviewed By robertsL5361BX - Belfast, United Kingdom

We weren’t sure what to expect from a cinema in a place called St. Mary’s but it is brilliant. There is a proper tuck shop as you enter then upstairs is the ticket office, the way it should be. Such a refreshing change from the usual multiplex cinemas. Good sized screen, great sound and nice seats, even curtains opening to reveal the screen as it should be. We got the posh seats in the balcony. Just a great place and I cannot Recommend it highly enough. Make sure to support Buncrana cinema, It is a gem and I can’t wait for my next visit.

The Drift Inn

Reviewed By GeorgieEtAl - Salamanca, Spain

This is the spot to unwrap yourself in front of a great log fire away from the cold wind and hail of Inishowen. Amidst the old fishing nets and maritime lamps and other regalia, you could be forgiven for thinking you'd been stolen away on an old boat, in the low lights of the cosy wee front bar, an obvious favourite for the locals. We enjoyed a great pint of Guinness and delicious food served by friendly hosts. Look forward to returning soon!
