    Fish and chips
    Mike C.

    A true Irish Pub experience, bravo! 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!!!

    Loved this place so much. The veggie options were fantastic. And the music and vibe were even better.

    Part of tour group going around Ireland, we stopped into McGann's Pub for lunch. All-in-all, it was good! On a Sunday, around 1:30pm, a coach bus of us came. The inside is a traditional pub with a dark, cozy interior with plenty of booths. The menus were dropped off at the table but we all were ordering the same thing - Fish & Chips served with a side of coleslaw. I was able to pay at the bar before my lunch arrived, so that was cool. The fish was fried perfectly and was very crispy! The chips were delicious and looked like French Fries that looked like they were cupped out, I hadn't seen that before. I loved their tartar sauce with the hint of dill and the coleslaw was fresh and very good. All-in-all, a good and speedy experience at McGann's Pub. If I were in Ireland again and passing by here, I'd have no issue coming back and grabbing fish & chips.

    Incredible, comforting food in a classic Irish pub setting. This place is the real deal. I had the privilege of visiting McGann's during a group tour headed for the Cliffs of Moher. Our driver recommended the spot and clearly, this is a fan favorite amongst other tour groups since several buses were arriving and departing during our short stop. The service is fast, fast, fast. You order your food with the server and order drinks at the bar and pay for your tab at the bar, too. I enjoyed a lovely hot toddy and a generous serving of Irish beef stew. Food came out quickly and piping hot. The beef stew was full of flavor over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes. Everyone working here is super friendly despite the seemingly constant rush of tourists. You gotta hand it to them for running a tight ship amongst so much hustle and bustle. The bathrooms were clean as well which is a plus since it was quite the journey from Galway to Cliffs of Moher and this served as the perfect halfway point. I'd love to come back and spend more time in Doolin next time around.

    Great Irish pub in Doolin. Easy walk from our hotel. Had dinner there twice during our stay. A typical, unassuming pub. Can get crowded with locals and tourists alike. Service was very attentive. We tried the traditional pub food and one special of the day. All was very good. Salmon special was delicious. The kitchen does an excellent job.

    Came to Doolin late at night, there weren't many places open except this pub. Cozy joint and there were people about, vibes were solid. Had a pint and a truly great lamb dish. Would absolutely return here

    Really enjoyed it! We stopped here along the way for our tour to the Cliffs of Moher and I'm glad we did. With our large group, I'm amazed at how quickly they were able to accommodate everyone in the fairly short amount of time before we needed to hit the road again. Not only that, but the food was delicious! I very much enjoyed the fish and chips. Bar service was good as well.

    A warm and welcoming pub. They have good local and fresh options, including local cod for their fish and chips. They had some of the very best chips I've had in Ireland and the UK. Very friendly service in an eclectic pub.

    Irish Beef Stew

    Loved McGann's--Irish stew was spot on! Ideal place to stop on your way to or from the Cliffs.

    We were corralled into this pub on a bus tour after the cliffs. The fish and chips were soggy and tasted like glue. Clearly pre-made and put under a heater or something. Quite offensive. The worst part was 2 meals cost $54. We got tourist trap scammed, but it happens. The people inside were nice though. Just grab a drink if you're passing through, or at the very least, skip the fish and chips.

    After a nice visit to the Cliffs of Moher, our tour group stopped here for lunch en route to Galway, and it was not a disappointing meal. In fact, this was probably my favorite fish 'n chips that I had during my entire time in Ireland. The batter is a perfect beer fry, the fish (cod), is the right choice, the tartar sauce has just the right amount of tang, and the chips are delicious. The whole thing is well portioned for the price as well. The service was okay. It looks as if they cater to law enforcement based on all the badges on the wall, and some of the patrons are a bit on the rough side, but the food makes up for it. I also found cellphone service here quite spotty. If you are on a tour, this is a great spot to check out.

    Beef stew

    Casual spot for a quick meal in Doolin. Came after getting off a ferry at the pier and was super hungry. This place is no nonsense. The staff is nice, they seat you quickly and food comes out fast. Beef stew was super hearty and filling, meat was tender and flavorful. The brown bread was good too. Glad to have found this little spot!

    We stopped here on our way back from the Moher Cliffs. I absolutely recommend McGann's. We shared a smoked salmon salad and fish and chips. We also had the Irish stew and a pint. The smoked salmon was the best I have had and the chips were cut in a different way than I have had other places - they were soft and pillowy on the inside and crunchy outside. The service was friendly and prompt and the pub itself was comfortable and inviting.
