    Fish and chips
    Dave O.

    It's definitely got the Irish vibe... or at least the stereotypical vibe us Americans envision. We stopped in for lunch while we were in route to the Cliffs of Moher (tour), so it's not like we really had a choice (I assume the bus driver gets a kickback for taking us there). Nevertheless, I liked it. As you can see by the connected photo, I had fish and chips and my fish fillet was huge! Greasy and huge! Good sauce for dipping, no complaints. Good beer, good ambiance, good everything. I'd go back! Prost!

    This is a pretty nice bar, it appears to be a favorite with the locals. Everyone was very nice and our servers were great. Drinks were reasonable. To echo another review, the toilets were roped off when we arrived. I'm not sure why.

    Came here for dinner and drinks on the last day of a self-drive tour through Ireland. We had the beef and Guinness stew and some beers. Stew was one of the best we had on our trip. They also had the Thanksgiving NFL games on. Great atmosphere for dinner or just drinks. Walking distance from a lot of the hotels

    We ate here our first night in Ireland. We were lost and pulled over at the first pub we could find. And luckily we found this one! It was the best food we had on our entire trip to Ireland. The service was wonderful. My husband had bangers and mash and I had the chicken vol-au-vont both were amazing! We loved it here!

    Ireland is lousy with terrific pubs. This is another one of them. A nice place to catch a meal and watch a game.

    After a longggggggg day driving we were starving and in need of something warming and hearty. Oh…read morehello Irish stew. It was gone 9pm when we got into Cruises and we were a tad worried they would have stopped serving food but the lovely waitress informed us that they we all good to go and quickly took our order of two Irish stews, a Guinness and a wine. The food came out quickly and pipping hot! It was everything we wanted it to be - plenty of meat, veg and 2 different types of potato! YES. My only negative would be that it needed a bit more juice to it. I ended up asking for some extra gravy but my gosh, I'm glad I did. Possibly the best gravy I've ever had. It was a rich, and thick red wine gravy. It was amazing and when mixed in with the stew, I was in true Irish heaven. Pass me the bread it's time to mop this up! Alex then fancied a dessert and opted for the crumble. I had a spoonful or two and I must say it was very nice. Not usually my kind of dessert but it was sweet and the ice cream creamy. Very nice. The pub itself is very traditional Irish, they had live music playing and the atmosphere and decor was warming with the dark woods and warming fire. Lovely. Overall we had a lovely evening and the bill came to just €35. Bargain.

    My favorite pub in ennis when I go home to ennis. Surprised to see wesley's review below calling it…read morea "hotel bar" its not the hotel is next door and every time I've been in there the locals outnumber the tourists. Well known as a trad pub with great live music at the weekends. Last time I was in there saw a band called araby do a version of florence and the machines cosmic love and honestly thought it was a cd. Great atmosphere especially at weekends and it stays open late. Along with knoxs it would probably be the most consistently busy pub in ennis. Also the crowd is slightly older as most of the young ones head into the nightclub. Well worth a visit when in ennis
