We had two evening meals here. The restaurant is in the front of the hotel in a spacious room with pleasant wall paintings.There is a good choice in the menu and it is well presented. The waiters and waitress were most polite and certainly made us feel at home. I would highly recommend it.Thank you for taking the time to review our Cosy Bar. We are pleased you enjoyed our menu. We look forward to welcoming you here again.

We didn't dine in the restaurant but had a few drinks there on two separate evenings. The atmosphere is great, the building has kept much of its authenticity and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I'm sure the food is excellent as well - it certainly looked great. We sat at the long bar counter and enjoyed the atmosphere.

with spectacular views of Clifden bay this cafe bar offers a range of very reasonably priced homemade cuisine. Enjoy panaramic views at the waters edge and maybe sit out in the beer garden with a refreshing beverage. located only one mile from the centre

Had a few beers in the garden while watching the most amazing sunset. Back in the bar we shared a bowl of chips for a snack which were given to us 'on the house' which was a very nice gesture. Good beer, nice people and this is the best view in Clifden by far. We walked back into town in the dark-although the owner offered us a lift-but it was lovely to see the stars! The food looked very good, will try a meal next time for sure.

This pub is owned by the people who rented our vacation home for the week we were in Ballyconneely. This place is the local establishment. Great place to watch a football match or hurling match on TV. Just what you would always imagine for an Irish pub. The food is great the service is great the whole area is yeah you guessed it....Great. The owners super accommodating.

Mannion's Bar serves local seafood and traditional Irish cuisine in a welcoming and friendly bar setting. Enjoy the open turf fire on a wet day with our famous Connemara lamb Stew or or sit outside on a fine day with a bowl of Homemade Chowder or Steamed

We also chose Mannions Bar because they had early music at dinner time. The place was packed so we were seated in the back room, isolated from the music though we could hear it.The atmosphere was nothing like the main room, and took away from the experience with the bright lights and white tables. A small group of regulars were seated next to us, and were moved shortly after to a table on the other side. The 3 of us had the fish and chips, and it was good, but we had had better. The music was very good, but we couldn't see the musicians. In hindsight, we should have tried another restaurant with early music and main room seating.

We ordered the burger and the open seafood sandwich.Both sounded really good but were a huge disappointment. The sandwich was tasteless, the burger meat was terrible. It arrived burned and was a low quality industrial burger.We will definitely not return to this place ever again.Dear Kendstar,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of EJ Kings. Naturally, it is very disappointing to read that you did not enjoy your dining experience with us on your recent visit. It is to our utter shock and dismay that the meal was not to your taste. As you can see from our many recent reviews, we are often commended on our standard of fare. As such, I would implore you to consider that this occasion was certainly not reflective of our norm. Should you have brought to the attention of the staff the fact that you were unhappy with your meal, we would have gladly and promptly replaced or rectified the dishes. We do hope that you reconsider and return to EJ Kings so as that we can show you the standard of food that we pride ourselves on. Warm Regards,Evie Faulkner

Always one of our favorites that has gotten even better. Damien Joyce, the owner/manager has made some improvements with a small remodel that gives more seating for those listening to the great local entertainers. They have early and late sessions so you can see great local entertainers early or late into the evening. The pub has a great mix of locals and visitors making for a fun evening. Super selection of Irish whiskeys and local beers on draught, including superbly poured Guinness! A donât miss venue for anyone visiting Clifden.

We were four people eating in this "restaurant" tonight. We all selected different dishes and everyone was very disappointed by the food. Overcooked, no taste, too cold... Now the question is to know who is going to be sick tomorrow... Not to mention the staff quite rude with customers.

We drove up to Clifden via the Wild Atlantic Way and came across this cute town nestled between hils and the sea. After looking at TripAdvisor for restaurant recommendations, we decided on Macdara's and we were not dissaponted. The quaint style and great live music were amazing. The good was some of the best in Ireland that we had and the seafood chowder was the best my husband and I have ever had. For non seafood lovers (our daugther) there was a chicken pasta which was wonderful. You not only need to go to Clifde, you need to eat at Macdara's. There is a a beautiful patio out the back that overlooks the sea but we got there late and ate inside so we could listen to the music.
