The ambiance is that of a quintessential Irish pub in one of the most beautiful places we've ever visited. Great times with even better people. Every local had a story to tell, especially after the drinks start flowing. The staff is where this place exceeds all expectations. The owner helped us feel at home, the bartender was awesome, and the wait staff were top-notch. We will always make it a point to visit Fanore whenever we're in Ireland just to see these lovely people. 5 stars isn't enough!

Eugene himself is usually behind the bar, with plenty of chat about the history of his pub. We came midweek and had the place pretty much to ourselves. I can only imagine this pub bustling on a weekend night. A pint of Guinness, two hot whiskies and an alcohol-free Becks came in just under €20. Cash only!

Step inside this gorgeous old place and you'll likely find yourself chatting it up with - imagine this! - Eugene himself. Lovely man with the gift of conversation and lively craic. The pub serves outstanding pints of Guinness and EXCELLENT Irish coffees. The fresh dollop of cream on top will hit the spot. There's a quietude here. Repose. Yes there are tourists, but Ennistymon is largely overlooked by the hoards of people heading for the Cliffs of Moher. It's a place for locals, craic and music. Don't miss the Cascade falls here or the charm of the people. Eugene's itself is full of decorations, characters, details and delights. If you've got a sense of humour and an appreciation for alcohol and history -- head here.

My kids had bbq chicken wings which were awesome and they other had chicken goujons. By far the best chicken finger ( I'm from the USA) I've ever had. Seafood clam chowder was great as well. Small/limited menu - so thing felt fresh and overall was great. We had 8 folks and were able to get a seat. It wasn't overly loud and fairly clean on the inside. Place is a bit rustic, and definitely not modern - highly recommend

The service was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The fish and chips? Hands down the BEST I've ever had -- perfectly crisp on the outside, flaky and tender inside. And the seafood chowder was beyond words. Rich, flavorful, and packed with seafood. Of course, the beer was fresh and delicious, just as it should be. An awesome, cozy spot that delivers on everything you hope for in a great Irish pub. We'll be back.

A true Irish Pub experience, bravo!…read more Our tour guide/ bus driver chose this location for us and gloated on how they have the best fish and chips in all Ireland here, as you can expect I was pretty eager to get on and try them. The fish and chips did not disappoint and the portion size was very generous. If I had to pick a flaw I suppose I would mention the size of the container of the tartar sauce that comes with the meal is very small, about three smears worth. Also, omg, look at the chips! Those are some unique shaped chips, at first I thought they were potato chips that were fried but no, they were French fries that looked like a potato chip. We stopped here after visiting the cliffs of Moher, the restaurant is located in Doolin County, which I believe has a cave you can visit if you want to get some more adventures in after a great meal at a terrific authentic Irish Pub. As always people SYOY!!!

So much so that everyone seemed to pause their conversation when we came in before resuming their conversations. My guess is the locals aren't all that interested in Yelp reviews The Guinness and Bulmer's Cider were cold. The locals didn't really care to socialize with the five Wisconsinites in their pub, but everyone was polite. O'Loclainn's is cozy and lightly lit. A truly Irish pub experience in Ballyvaughan.

We had been in this Pub nine years ago and visited it three times during this visit. It is a local place that doesn't open until 8:00 PM each evening. There is no TV, no radio and no food service; it is just a place to relax and enjoy a Guinness or a great Irish Coffee. We did just that and watched Margaret, the delightful owner make our Irish Coffee. If you want to experience a rel Irish Pub, this is the place.
