After traveling to Ireland and then renting a car to drive to Ennis, we were beyond exhausted. I'm…read morepretty sure I struggled to even read yelp reviews in order to help us finally find some food to eat. So we just decided to walk into town where we stumbled upon this amazing place. The decor and warmth of the restaurant was top notch. The gentleman who greeted us and served us was so helpful. We were so jet lagged I'm sure he had a hard time understanding our mumbles. The menu was easy to read and he was able to pair beers and ciders to us perfectly. The food was amazing. The portions was so big. My wife and split the chicken curry, I had a side of chowder and she had a side salad. We still had food left over because there was so much. My son and the fish and chips and it was devoured. My youngest had the kids fried chicken and said it was the best chicken she's ever had. There wasn't a single complaint about this place. So if you stumble into Ennis lost, hungry, and needing a relaxing place to eat, try this place.

It's popular and oftentimes there is a line to get a table. The staff does their best to seat guests as soon as possible. Note the closing time of 8pm is firm, so be sure to arrive before that. Staff is kind but due to the busyness of the restaurant, service can be scattered or slow, so remember, you're on vacation. Wine and beer available. Parking can be difficult in the area. Allow time to find parking, if you're driving.

While waiting in line at the Frantic Chef, I googled this place and a few more, it was only a 3 minute walk. We ordered fish and chips and the seafood chowder. The chowder and zero flavor, but was packed with fresh fish. The fish and chips were awesome, fresh as usual in Ireland, but very light and flaky, a top 3 for us. They were able to get us in and out, but we had to ask 3 times for water, and it was unseasonably warm. The decor was combo Irish pub/ Nautical.

But that's where the positive reviews end. First off, the waitress seemed put off she had to wait on us. Additionally, the place was freezing and we had to keep our coats on, it was almost as if the place had no heat. Everyone dining there had their winter coats on while dining. The menu was all over the place with no consistent theme. The food was okay. It wasn't terrible- but it wasn't anything we were excited to finish. Overall, the best part is the aesthetics on the outside of the building.

A mile or so (technically a couple of kilometers) from the Cliffs of Moher is the Stonecutters…read moreKitchen. A wonderfully picturesque bistro with spectacular views of the County Claire countryside along the Wild Atlantic Way. From the 100-year-old cottage that the restaurant is situated to the beautiful patio and deck around it, Stonecutters provides the ideal scenery if you're visiting the area when you want to enjoy some delicious cuisine. We started with a bottle of Sangiovese while I noshed on some homemade brown soda bread, which was divine with Irish butter. The seafood tagliatelle was delicious and creamy that I savored every bite between the mussels and prawns and squid. The banofee dessert was magical between the biscuit on the bottom topped with bananas and drizzled with caramel and topped with ice cream. Enjoying our meal amidst the glorious setting was equally as memorable, if not more. No pictures can do justice to just how breathtaking it is to enjoy a meal in such a beautiful setting. Stonecutters is an ideal choice to enjoy dinner that has endless amounts of scenery to enjoy a wonderful outdoor dining experience.

The bright yellow house, turned restaurant is easy to spot on the way to/from the Cliffs of Moher. You pull in to a small playground and a friendly dog roaming the grounds. This place is unusually kid-friendly, while not being child-centric, particularly given the size. By that, I mean, on entering the public toilet area, there is a nifty baby changing station - WITH supplies. Anyone who's had a child can relate this to a restroom having toilet paper! I found it to have very thoughtful touches like that, the special room & playground equipment - I also heard staff tell a patron that the kids get a toy to keep with their meal. I didn't view the kids menu, tho I heard a parent talking about some options with her child, including fish & every child's favorite fun food "spaghetti"! Adults were not forgotten- there were candles on the table and nicely plated meals and home-style options, with a lovely selection of wine and beet to choose from. The service was friendly and helpful- food was well seasoned and properly cooked: fingerling potatoes were crisp outside and tender inside. I wish we'd skipped attempting the cafe at the cliffs all together & just started here!!

The servers were really busy with the noontime crowd, but attentive to my table, even pausing to give me a history of the tavern. A hearty two thumbs up for The Locke Bar: this Locke recommends it!

We are glad that we went to Sean's pub in the evening. We had wanted to hear some live Irish music and lo and behold they had it the night we went. They have live music on Mondays and Fridays.

They were both very tasty and we highly recommend both! All of the beer tasted fantastic! They must be really diligent about cleaning their draught lines! The pint of Guinness was the best I had in Ireland including the brewery itself! They had beer from a craft brewery called McGargles. The pale ale from them was very tasty! All in all this is a great little pub and not to be missed while in Adare!
