“A chance and fantastic find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

My wife and our two children (ages 8 and 11) noticed this pub while first driving through Adare on our way to the country B&B we'd be staying in. Our son — whose name is Sean — was adamant that we dine at this other Sean's place that night. Fortunately, we listened! Upon entering, we soon met Sean the proprietor... More

On our first night in Adare we asked Albert at Adare Manor Villas where we should go for dinner and he called Sean in order to expect some chaos. There were 11 of mostly from Alaska that decended upon the place on a Monday night. All I can say is that Sean and his wife Bridie did everything they could... More

One of the members of our group of four found Sean's place our first day in Adare. The rest of us returned there the night before leaving Ireland for some local Irish music. The food was good, and the musicians were indeed local men who sat around a table and played and sang between sipping their Guinness. There was a... More

Sean and Bridie have to be credited on running such a fantastic bar and restaurant. Living locally , I regularly eat and have a few drinks here. The food is always of the highest standard. Would highly reccommend the Adare spicy chicken wrap, fish and chips, and the pasta with blue cheese but i must admit it is always hard... More

The decor is traditional, the beer is cold, the people are friendly and it's right downtown Adare. What more could you ask for. If you're looking for a spot to sit for a bit, have a pint and get the local news, this is your spot. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The menu however, was what I would... More

“Great pub. Good pizza!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2012

Never thought you'd find great pizza at a small village in Ireland. Our group of eight had four different pizzas and each one was totally unique. Atmosphere and service was great. We've got several more days in Adare and expect to visit this pub for another pint and a snack! More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2012

You may not be thinking that a pub is the best place to grab a bite in the quaint town of Adare since there are so many good options, but think again friends. We truly enjoyed everything about this place. The owner, Sean, was extremely friendly & chatted with us for a good while. The atmosphere is comfortable & cozy.... More
