We stumbled onto this pub after meeting Sean's daughter at Adare Manor. We had been at Pat Collins Pub earlier in the day where we ate shepherds pie. 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. The atmosphere was quaint with a warm feel. The food and service were exceptional! We had the Warm Goats Cheese Crostini and Fish Cakes which were recommended by Sean. 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! read more

Dropped by Sean's for some Irish stew and fish and chips with my husband , The food was good and the bar staff fantastic! Sean was busy preparing for a big bus load to join him for a good time. He was a very friendly host and we felt very welcome. I can't wait to go back to Ireland again and we will definitely drop back in to dine at Sean's place. read more

STOP, DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE. This was the furthest bar in the village AND well WORTH IT. I had the Special Salmon with a shrimp secret sauce, mash, delicate yet tantalizing salad, fresh broccoli and carrots drizzled with another secret sauce was jaw dropping delicious. My husband LOVED the hamburger "being an American man at heart" burgers are his staple food, found it very tasty fresh meat ( from the butcher down the street) no preservatives, fresh mash and salad. Sean the owner took his time chatting with his customers sharing stories. Sports on TV were the big topic at the bar from the locals. They have Traditional Irish music Mon & Fri nite for us that crave that Irish tune. We're coming back tomorrow for more. Don't miss SEAN COLLINS & SONS BAR read more

We came for dinner here because of all the other good reviews on yelp and we were not disappointed. I had the 10oz steak meal and for dessert the chocolate biscuit cake which was served with mint chocolate chip ice cream. I really enjoyed my food. Although there is a bar, this place felt more like a restaurant, with more emphasis on food than some of the other bars nearby. We ate a big dinner here and then went to another bar for drinks and music and it worked out very well. The live musicians move around Adare so they weren't there the night we came in. read more

Sean is awesome! He provides an excellent service, and was very friendly and willing to help with our meal and our vacation planning! He sat down with us when we had questions (if he didnt have anyone to attend to) but let us enjoy our meal in privacy when the time came. I wish we were in Adare longer, because it seemed like the perfect place for some nightlife too! read more

Lovely conversation and fish n chips this afternoon! So glad we stopped by! Thank you

Traveling around the country of Ireland & Stopping for a Guinness in as many PUBS as possible This is BY FAR the best pint of GUINNESS you will get Including the Guinness tour at the brewery in DUBLIN!! Been there done that Sean Collins thank you so much The fish & chips were Fantastic too! SLAINTE' aka CHEERS, SALUTE' !!! read more

Wonderful local pub. Sean makes everyone feel welcome and engages in witty conversation. Great selection of Irish whiskey!

So we were at Sean Collins. We found the pub quite charming as well as the owner. This very friendly quaint pub had live Irish musics which we had wanted to hear. We were able to immerse ourselves in Irish culture. My friend stated it was the best Guinness beer he had on the entire trip, and he had a Guinness beer at the brewery. The owner, Sean Collins was friendly and I watch him interact with regulars customers as well as tourists. He offered to take our pictures as well as other couples on vacation. He recommended the fish cakes for dinner which were incredibly good. I do not possess the words to accurately describe them. We eat local cuisine the entire trip and this was one of the best dishes we had. It you are visiting Adare, Ireland I recommend that you visit this adorable pub. We were very sorry we had to leave the next day. We were lucky enough to connect with a local couple Mary and Michael, thanks for the wonderful conversation! I also had an Irish coffee at the pub which was creamy, and delicious. This is a must stop!! read more

I'm a little delayed in posting this review, but I made a promise! My girlfriend and I were in Ireland for Christmas along with my parents. We all enjoy a good Guinness and we were also looking forward to relaxing in any and every pub we could find as we had travelled across the country. We were staying in Adare and Sean Collins was the first pub we stopped into. It turned out to also be the best! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the Guinness was the best we'd ever had. No joke. We had a pint at every stop in our cross country tour and we made sure to revisit Sean Collins, just to make sure it wasn't a trick the jet lag was playing on us. It wasn't. Even after a tasting at the Guinness factory in Dublin, we all agreed that Sean had the best pint in Ireland, which probably means he has the best Guinness in the world! We had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Sean himself on our second visit and he was happy to share stories of the pub's history and the secret to how his Guinness tastes so good. I'm not going to tell you what it is, because you just need to go there and experience it for yourself! Thanks again Sean, for the best pints we've ever had! read more

Nice local pub. Food was excellent and we thought it was above and beyond that they listed on their menu a page with all ingredients for those with allergies. Friendly, a real treat to eat there. Wednesday night 9pm live music. read more

Seán Collins - A lovely pub - Pubs Near Me - Adare, LK

My wife and I and our friends stayed in Adare for a week and ate dinner here at least half the time. By far our favorite place for a bowl of stew or fish n chips to discuss the days adventures. Easily the nicest people running the pub. You absolutely need to stop in. read more

Nicely decorated and very welcoming. My husband and I are on our honeymoon and this was our first dinner in Ireland. The food was delicious. I had the homemade beef stew and my husband had a spicy chicken dish. There was a party going on there and it seemed to be a blast. I believe the owner came to chat with us for a bit which was very kind of him to do. read more

This review is for Sean Collins Pub. My sisters , mom and I arrived in Adare with our extended family after 4 days in Dublin. We decided to eat at Sean Collins pub on our second night in this little town, and we were not disappointed. It might sound odd, but they have some of the best pizza I have ever eaten! The Adare, the Pesto, and the 5 Cheese were favorites. While the food was consistently good, we ate there 3 additional times during the course of our stay, the people who make up Sean Collins are the real treat. Sean himself came over to ask us where we were from as well as what excursions we were going on, and made great recommendations. Racheal, was absolutely sweet as could be, and "young" Sean the asst. manager was great!!! Happy belated 23rd birthday Sean, sorry we couldn't make it out to buy you a "buttery nipple"! :) If you are staying at either the Adare Manor/Villas, or the Dunraven Arms, or just passing through Limerick, do yourself a favor and stop by Sean's. read more

Coming back from Kerry to Dublin we had a hankering for steak and decided to stop in Adare. After confirming with Sean on the phone that steak was on the menu we made our way for Sean Collins's pub. Being Irish, I sometimes get a bit cynical regarding pubs in tourist towns. Thankfully Sean's was more a real local pub than an overpriced tourist trap. It's always a good sign when there's a few locals at the bar talking to the owner and enjoying a pint. The steaks were excellent and went down very well with both of us, as did the generous dessert portions and two pints of Guinness. All in all a place I'd definitely drop by again if I was heading through Adare. Friendly staff, great food and drink and at a good price. read more

I think this pub is a great area for tourists. Recently moved here and this was the very first restaurant I went to in Adare. One of my favorites in adare. Food is not pricey, and it tastes excellent. The employees make you feel so welcome and like an old friend of yours. They also have a tv so I'd recommend to sports lovers who want to eat while watching a game. I would recommend 10/10 to everyone even the little ones. read more

The owner (Sean) is ragingly nice. They were welcoming and the bartender even gave up his seat for us to be able to have a seat. We ended up getting a corner and then they worked to get us a table asap. The drinks are good and great prices. I recommend Paddy's Irish whiskey. We didn't get food but the experience alone is worth it. Don't be that loud American. Be conscious of everyone around, please! Oh and I by way there's amazing live music in Friday's and Monday's. We repeatedly visited this place during our trip. read more

Stopped on our first night in Adare. Will be returning tomorrow night for more delicious food, amazing service and some live Irish music. This pub is authentic Irish, friendly and fun. Made me wish I lived here, it would be a regular! Go try it, you'll be happy you did! read more

OK veggie soup. Much better elsewhere on several occasions. Service was lackadaisical and they weren't busy at all. Wouldn't rush to return.

This pub is everything you hope for in an Irish pub. Sean and his son, Sean, we're great! Every time we went in, Sean the Elder always stopped by and visited with us! The food was fantastic. We ate there all but one of the 6 days we were in Adare. Fantastic! Can't wait to go back!!! read more

We recently spent a week at the Adare Manor Villas, ate here 3 or 4 times and rang in the New Year there as well. This place was just wonderful. Great food, good live music, friendly patrons and even the owner stopped by our table and had a good chat with us. I would recommend this spot to anyone travelling in the area and looking for a nice place to spend a couple of hours. read more

What a fantastic restaurant and bar. We chose this restaurant because pizza sounded delicious. As we walked in, we were greeted by the bar tender ready to take our order. We ate the Pizza Blue and the Cheese pizza with the Belgian waffle/ ice cream for dessert. SOOOO GOOD! The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. We ate dinner on a nice leather couch and enjoyed live music (man from North Carolina). We loved this place so much we went back for a second night to listen to live Irish music. We were greeted by Sean himself, and had a great night! Even got a cool picture behind the bar. Thank you for a great time! read more

Probably some of the best food we had while in Ireland! Highly recommend this place.

Spent a week in Ireland at the Adare Manor and traveled all around. I had a Guinness in more than 10 different bars in different cities during my trip and Sean Collins & sons was absolutely the best! If you make it to Adare stop in and have a pint. You will stay for the food and be just as impressed. read more

Good food and a great price. Fun to go with friends. We don't drink, but even with that they were cool and inviting.

Stopped in for lunch with a group of seven totally bummed because it was our last day of vacation. We were greeted by the owner who made us feel right at home. Food was wonderful and the Guinness was perfect. Made me even sadder to leave but also made me want to return even more. read more

In Ireland for a week from California, been there 3 days this week and the food is super good, burgers are awesome, coming from the states and trying out different burger places, like Hodad's in Ocean Beach California, Sean Collins burger is really good, beef is from a local butcher and the chips are good too! Walk down to his pub, waiters are friendly, seems like a lot of locals when we've gone, thanks and see you next time we come to Ireland my friend! read more

My family of 27 was vacationing in Ireland and our last stop was in Adare. we visited this bar twice and they went out of their way to accommodate our whole group both times. one member of our group was vegan and they were still willing and able to make her visit enjoyable. the food was very good and the owner of the bar was very nice. i would visit again if i ever found myself in Ireland. read more

Seán served up some great fresh seafood and took the time to chat with my family, give us tips on our trip (well informed and useful tips, I might add), and took our picture for us. Great place to stop and enjoy some food and drink. read more

Amazing service, delicious food, great conversation! We are staying in Adare for our anniversary trip and have been here twice in our trip. MUST have the dessert here, all of it is so good! Sean, thank you for making us feel so welcomed and to the locals that were always willing to strike up a conversation, awesome place! read more

Worst food and WORST service I've ever had! Food was practically inedible. Glasses were filthy. The place was practically empty but no one attended our table until we asked. read more

I can see why this is rated as the number one restaurant in Adare. Four of us ate there a couple of nights ago and the food was great. The owner visited with us and gave us some really good tips on places to visit. The food was really good. read more

Delicious food! Friendly staff and clean pub. The bartender gave us great recommendations dos the area. My husband and I both loved or lunch. The soup was delicious. Great Guinness pour! read more

Ate here last night and everything was average. We had the Irish stew, spicy chicken and veggie pizza....they were ok, nothing special. The service was adequate. The bartender took our order and he was upbeat but was kept busy tending the bar. The server seemed like she was sleep walking; in a daze like trance, and we kept having to ask several times to get anything. The place was clean, the prices high for the quality of food we received. Most likely, would not go back to this pub. read more

Stayed at the Adare Manor and we ate at Sean Collins 2-3 nights and it was awesome. Great food both times. The only reason i took away 1 star is for the service. Only 1 server on during a busy night is not a great idea. We had to wait. All in all the Chicken Curry is banging yummy. read more
