The fish & chips were piping hot and perfectly cooked: light and crispy on the outside, and tender and flaky on the inside.

The staff were friendly and hospitable as they engaged in conversation and genuinely seemed to take interest in their customers.

While the ambiance isn't exactly "beach bar", it is a decent restaurant with quality eats. The seafood chowder is actually quite exceptional. It's perhaps a bit more soup than chowder, but the flavor is outstanding and the mussels are delish. The usual suspects are on draft, and overall while you might not be blown away, it's definitely a good place to rest before driving back to wherever you started the day!

We decided to try An Corcan on the first visit, as we returned to Sneem from a trip to Skelligs Chocolate, and came upon its cheery, colorful facade in Waterville right around lunch time. We were so impressed with this little place that we actually made a point of returning on our second visit to Ireland. An Corcan's interior is just as cheery and welcoming as its exterior. It almost seems like a little tea house, with lace tablecloths and bud vases on each table. The service is so affable and hospitable; I get the feeling not too many tourists dine at An Corcan, and we were welcomed in the typical Irish manner, with broad smiles, good-natured banter, and plenty of questions about where we were from. The food at An Corcan is surprisingly good, given its off-the-beaten-path location in an off-the-beaten-path town. It has an interesting mix of Irish pub fare (cream of vegetable soup which is lovely, roasts and fish and chips which hit the spot, and the famous Irish "toasted special," in this case a combo of ham, cheese, tomato and onion), and American bar food (chicken wings which we didn't bother to sample, chicken curry salad which was actually a big hit with our group, and burgers). There's something for everyone at An Corcan. If we find ourselves in Waterville again, we will definitely return -- for the homey, welcoming atmosphere with cheery service; for the simple, delicious food; and for the reasonable prices.

Technically not wrong, but misleading on purpose. My friend ordered a medium steak for thirty euros and they gave it to her well-done. The fries were the best part of the meal. I saw one of the employees--presumably the manager--chug two drinks on the job??? Is that legal????? The food took a long time getting there and we had to wait 10 minutes before we even got into the building, so it's not very accommodating for a group of people. The chairs were comfortable and the employees seemed nice, but most of them very much didn't know what they were doing.
