The picture I posted is of the Fanad Head Lighthouse which is just a few hundred yards down the hill and from which the pub gets it's name. The scenery in the surrounding peninsula is stunning and the local people will make you feel very much at home. If you go to Ireland then you should not miss out on visiting this gem.

tl;dr: Deadly bar, good (if a bit too cold and not stellar) pints, very good food…read more On the pints: It seems like up north -- at least in Donegal -- pints are served very very cold. To my Dublin-familiar mind, this makes the pints a bit bitter and takes away some of the depth of flavour. In any case, this is how they were served here. However: They were really good. Sticking to the glass, with loads of time taken, and hitting the spot after a long Dhún na nGall day in the sun. On the food: A simple menu printed on A4 with pretty basic stuff. But then yer man comes out and tells us that there's fish on: Trout and Hake. This was quite possibly the freshest fish we had. Slow service -- they had to get out there and find the fish, I suppose -- but it was bloody delicious, served with lovely spuds and cabbage and bacon. Been through a few changes in management over the years, but all local folk doing good work. This is a standout pub in a sand-out area.
