Had a few beers in the garden while watching the most amazing sunset. Back in the bar we shared a bowl of chips for a snack which were given to us 'on the house' which was a very nice gesture. Good beer, nice people and this is the best view in Clifden by far. We walked back into town in the dark-although the owner offered us a lift-but it was lovely to see the stars! The food looked very good, will try a meal next time for sure.

Paddy Coynes Pub is a beautiful traditional pub set in Tullycross, on Renvyle Peninsula, Connemara. The pub is perfect for anyone looking for a good pint. Whether you fancy a quiet pint in St. Anns (the snug) or a bowl of fresh mussels by the fire, you wi

From the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left, we experienced friendliness, professionalism, great quality food and reasonable prices. The restaurant doesnât take reservations so itâs âfirst comeâ We weâre lucky enough to walk in and get a table straight away, but a wait in the lovely old bar would have been worth it. I would highly recommend this restaurant and bar and I look forward to returning. The food is excellent and the staff were helpful and friendly. The place has a sense of being well managed with attention to quality.

Dinner for 2 on a weekday night was perfectly respectable. I had a great mushroom starter followed by rack of lamb which was good, but nothing outstanding.The restaurant (like it's hotel) seems to cater for older clientele - nothing wrong with that, but it felt like they were content to be just slightly above average.

On our trip in Ireland, this was one of the best restaurants we have been to. We went twice while we stayed in Clifden. The service is good. The food is splendid. The crabcakes and scallops were devine. The downside is that the tables are slightly small and very near to oneanother. Recommended!

Always one of our favorites that has gotten even better. Damien Joyce, the owner/manager has made some improvements with a small remodel that gives more seating for those listening to the great local entertainers. They have early and late sessions so you can see great local entertainers early or late into the evening. The pub has a great mix of locals and visitors making for a fun evening. Super selection of Irish whiskeys and local beers on draught, including superbly poured Guinness! A donât miss venue for anyone visiting Clifden.

We drove up to Clifden via the Wild Atlantic Way and came across this cute town nestled between hils and the sea. After looking at TripAdvisor for restaurant recommendations, we decided on Macdara's and we were not dissaponted. The quaint style and great live music were amazing. The good was some of the best in Ireland that we had and the seafood chowder was the best my husband and I have ever had. For non seafood lovers (our daugther) there was a chicken pasta which was wonderful. You not only need to go to Clifde, you need to eat at Macdara's. There is a a beautiful patio out the back that overlooks the sea but we got there late and ate inside so we could listen to the music.

We were four people eating in this "restaurant" tonight. We all selected different dishes and everyone was very disappointed by the food. Overcooked, no taste, too cold... Now the question is to know who is going to be sick tomorrow... Not to mention the staff quite rude with customers.

I recently visited this restaurant on my trip to Ireland. I ordered the crab claws and they were delicious. The portion for the price was really good value. It's right on the water and the views outside are extremely beautiful. I highly recommend this place.

Staying in Cleggan we couldnât go past Oliverâs for our evening me. It was so good we went back the three nights we stayed there. The location is perfect and the view from the restaurant lets you see the fishing boats and ferries come and go. We tried a range of dishes and they were all excellent and good value. We enjoyed the music on a Wednesday night too, more so by the musicians that had clearly been booked to play but left when some locals started to share their dubious talents.
