1. The Corner House
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 80 reviews
Peter Oliver's Corner House is a family run pub located in the tourist village of Ardara. The Corner House is your typical warm and friendly Irish pub with an open fire and those truly wonderful Irish characters drinking Guinness at the bar during the afternoons. During the summer months, there is music every night of the week. Everyone is welcome to join in the sing song and over the years we have been privileged to have musicians from all over the world join us. Indeed, if you are lucky, you could easily stumble upon an afternoon session that visiting musicians might decide to start in the relaxed atmosphere by the open fire in the front bar.

Right next door to our hotel we were attracted in by the music. One guy on a guitar and he was very good as were the local singers who sang us some good songs. Bar was nicely laid out and comfortable. Went back for a second night and again had an enjoyable evening.

2nd time shopping at Triona Design. I have never been able to wear wool in my life. They have Marino wool sweaters that are as soft as can be, (wearable despite my usual wool allergy) and beautiful designs. The shop keepers are very helpful and they will ship if necessary. I took mine with me. Lovely shop, merchandise. Also take a look at the thatched house in the back near the loom. Fascinating.
