We are distant relatives of Anna and family from the O'Heffernan and O'Dowd families. While in the U.S. Navy I was stationed in England from 1989-1991 and visited Ireland. From 1998-2000 I was stationed in Italy and visited Ireland. Both these visits were on tour buses and I convinced the guides to stop at the pub. In 2004 my wife and I honeymooned in Ireland for 11 days. We had bed and breakfast vouchers and traveled from Galway down the west coast. The ladies always took great care of us when we visited. Anna always made her Irish Flag shot. While there for our honeymoon Anna disappeared upstairs and came back to present us with an Irish Tea Towel. If you're in the area stop in, you won't regret your visit. I just took a few virtual tours of Ireland while enjoying a pint of Guinness, Just one LOL... Cheers, Kirk Towner

Old fashioned traditional Irish music pub dating back to 1895, rich in tradition and culture with a lovely atmosphere. Music every Friday and Saturday during the winter and every Wednesday Friday Saturday and Sunday during the summer, Famous for its trad sessions with some of Ireland finest having played here. Friels is a listed building a still has some of the old structural fittings in place which is worth seeing.

Christy Barry and his partner Sheila have entertained friends and musicians at their home for many years, sitting around the fire playing music and telling stories. Although the pub sessions are extremely popular they realized that many of their visitors preferred to listen to traditional music in the intimate environment of their home. As a result of this they decided to open up their atmospheric home to visitors so they can experience local Irish music in the relaxed surroundings of their home. Christy talks and discusses the history of traditional Irish music and plays great tunes. Visitors can enjoy the experience of visiting a local home, enjoying local company and listening to a good traditional music session around the fire. Sheila is an artist and her works surround the rooms in the house creating a truly art home atmosphere.

What could be more authentic than to be welcomed into an Irish musician's home and treated to an evening of music and stories? Christy and Shelagh welcomed us warmly and treated us to trad music, wonderful stories of days gone by, and some smoked salmon, delicious local cheeses and wine. Thanks for one of the most authentic experiences I've enjoyed so far in Ireland. Not to be missed!

I had read great reviews about the Moher Cottage before we travelled to Ireland. It lived up to its reputation. After we purchased some Irish crafts in the adorable gift store, we enjoyed coffee & pastries overlooking the Irish countryside. It was a gorgeous day and we were able to relax after walking The Cliffs. The staff were friendly and gave us the histroy of the cottage. Well worth the stop.
