E.J. KING’S BAR AND RESTAURANT

A Clifden institution and the town’s natural cornerstone – “E.J.’s” has been the venue for weddings, christenings, break-ups, make-ups, bar mitzvahs, you name it. Mostly, however, it is a place for locals and visitors to be amply fed and watered from its renowned restaurant and bar menus. Once that important work is out of the way, you’ll be well set for a night of creamy pints and live music.

GUY’S BAR & SNUG

Cosy, tasteful, conducive to good conversation with friends old and new, Guy’s Bar & Snug has been the heartbeat of Clifden’s Main Street for decades. In recent years, Guys has also found itself garnering a reputation for excellent pub grub. Its ovenbaked pizza menu, meanwhile, has become a lifesaver for families fresh in from the beach and seeking a crowd-pleasing takeaway option.

JASMINE GARDEN RESTAURANT & TAKE AWAY

You’d never have called Clifden the ethnic food capital of Ireland, but it came a step closer in 2001 with the arrival of this family-run Asian food outfit. Now firmly embedded in Connemara life, Jasmine Garden are master proponents in Chinese, Malaysian, and Thai food – and all the fragrant, aromatic, delicately spiced wonderment that those cuisines encapsulate. Eat in or take away, the choice is yours.

LOWRY’S MUSIC & WHISKEY BAR

What does it take to become a three-time winner of Best Traditional Bar in Ireland at the National Hospitality Awards? Drop into Lowry’s on Clifden’s Market Street for lunch (Connemara smoked salmon, toasties, and sandwiches feature on their menu), a dram from their unequalled whiskey selection, or an evening of toe-tapping trad music. You’ll probably come away with the answer.

MANNION’S BAR

You can’t move in Clifden for people with the surname Mannion. Whether they all stem from this family-run establishment (now approaching its centenary), no one quite knows. Best to concentrate on the fine menu that you’re handed on arrival, what with its Connemara lamb, Doon Castle oysters, and fresh fish, as well as its selection of fine wines, craft beers and ciders. Reservations are recommended.

MARCONI RESTAURANT AT FOYLE’S HOTEL

Family-run and maintaining a storied, age-old charm about it, Foyle’s Hotel and its Marconi Restaurant have been one of the classiest facades on Main Street for more than a century. Its dining room walls are adorned with history, culture and character, making it one of the more memorable venues to eat out anywhere in Connemara. Afterwards, live music and nightcaps draw you into Mullarkey’s Bar.
