Upon entering I was impressed by the somewhat typical Irish pubness of the bar, but yet it had a cool style all of its own that sets it apart from all other Irish pubs. Venturing further back, we had the back room reserved off to the left, but more on that later. It was out to the coolest beer garden in County Cork, nay in Ireland. It's on two level, the back wall made up of the shell of an older building. Picnic tables a plenty, because the beer garden also has a food truck. A most excellent food truck called The Field Kitchen. We had stuffed mussels and fish n chips. Both excellent. Later as the night drew in we retreated to our reserved room, which had a handy window into the bar and wood burner in the corner. We revelled the rest of the night away, retailing each other of the great wedding the night before. It was a great weekend, which was enhanced ten fold by our party in Blackbird.

My great uncle suggested we ask the locals, so I told Mom the best place would probably be the pubs. We were there in the afternoon, so Clifford's Bar was empty. It's a cute, homey pub with a friendly female bartender. I had a Sprite, Mom had a Beamish, and we talked with the bartender. She suggested we speak with the owner, Neil, who was across the street at his butcher shop. (He was helpful and I appreciated that he took the time to talk with two random American women who popped in on him!) There was a good selection of beers, wines, and spirits. I'd love to see Clifford's Bar during the evening when it's more conducive to the bar crowd, but we still had a nice experience!

They are TVs showing traditional games and plenty of seating at the bar as well as outside of the bar. The restrooms are typical of the pubs, very small with tiny sinks, so be prepared. I would consider this another traditional pub, with a twist of Americano and European . I can certainly understand that they would be busy on popular nights if not most nights, and the ambience would be loud but expect greatness from this place

There's plenty of indoor seating for a cold, rainy and windy night, and though it's a bar the noise level wasn't overwhelming in the least. We ordered fish and chips and were presented with a hefty portion that left us wanting for nothing. The codling was perfectly battered and crispy, we didn't want to leave a crumb behind. We also ordered the seafood chowder. That portion was a little more modest but delivered in hardiness and flavor. The hostess and our waitress took great care of us too. Unfortunately we didn't catch their names to give them a shout out. All in all, if you're visiting Youghal, this spot is a sure win.

As soon as you walk through the double doors into the bar you know straight away this is going to be a place to sit and enjoy a good beer. With old style brick walls and open fire the atmosphere is set, the mood is tranquil and the beer is always fantastic. From bottle to cask the selection of beers is huge. Delivered in a wine list style consumers can select a range of beers categorised by region or you can just ask the very helpful and knowledgeable staff. My favourite is a pint of Metalman Pale Ale on cask, heaven. The local home brew club also meets up each month on the second Wednesday so it's a really nice spot if you are interested in meeting up.
