📖

Full description

O'Donoghues is a well-known traditional music pub, famous for its nightly live sessions that start in the evening. Reviewers describe an authentic local atmosphere despite the tourist presence, with efficient bartenders, a wide choice of beer and whiskey, and hearty food such as stew.

The pub also has simple en suite bedrooms upstairs, which guests describe as good value and clean. It is a strong choice for a first night of live Irish music, though the sessions draw a full house.

Reviews

Stopped here with my six year old son for a pint and a quick bite and it didn’t disappoint! We had the stew and a side of fries and both were perfect! My son was a particular fan of the stew. The waitress of friendly and the atmosphere was on point.
