The fish and chips may have been the best had on our Ireland trip! The rest of our group for a vegetable soup, garlic bread, and panini. This pub's food had some of the best flavors we've tried so far. The service was a bit slow but I would still recommend giving it a try when passing through!

Although we are from California, they made us feel right at home. Especially notable was the kindness of their staff, their humor, wonderful pub food at reasonable prices, and the best tasting Guinness in the area. Classic pub atmosphere and great conversations with the locals. Cheers!

The servers were friendly and talkative, as many of the Irish. The chowder is think and full of delicious fish. The fried calamari was really tasty, and not greasy. The halloumi salad was also great, with a generous amount of cheese. This pub is a perfect example of the evolution of pubs in the country, serving much higher quality food than in times past. Our dessert of over cream with chocolate cake was soooo good.

We arrived just before sunset and the view was spectacular, so we grabbed a "Sea Lodge Gin" and a dingle cosmopolitan, and popped outside on their deck to take a few photos. Both drinks were delicious, but the former was so good and refreshing... and I don't drink gin! We also ordered the duck spring roll, which was large, crispy, and very good. Bartenders were nice, accommodating, and offered us great advice regarding our continued travels. The area is flanked by golf courses, with one of the best views in the world.

Yelp reviews can be a bit sparse and dated, so I went with the TripAdvisor reviews. Mistake!…read more The seafood chowder was good but could not compete with any others I ingested on my trip (nearly a daily staple on this trip). The chicken sandwich on white bread however was US grade-school cafeteria level in effort. And came with potato chips. Think wonder bread, boiled chicken breast and BUTTER! My wife's tuna salad was as tasteless. Not good value, lacking taste and topped with total lack of service. This is a place I will not remember from my trip. I try to support local small business, particularly when traveling. But this place really disappointed us. Avoid.

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.

The walk from the dock to the hotel was quick and lovely with beautiful views around along the way. This is a very comfortable establishment, ready for anything: lots of picnic tables outside, boat dock, inside pub area. Inside cozy restaurant area with beautiful views out the window, a pool hall, and a small exhibition room in the back with some very interesting local terrestrial/marine life information available.

Also, love the freezer of ice creams available! I was very happy with my delicious dinner and thrilled with the experience.
