In a small town known for its live music, this was our favorite. The pub is very cozy and there are lots of locals at the pub. The fireplace was great and the food was one of the best meals we had in Ireland. McGann's was a truly wonderful experience while in Doolin!!! More

McGann's was more than happy to accommodate our wedding group of 40 persons. They even put a "Congratulations" banner up for us. The music and food were excellent, as was the beauty of the surrounding area. I would definitely return. More

The music and staffs are great. I failed to find the same feeling during my long trip in Ireland. So I guess this is the best place to go to enjoy the live traditional Irish music. I miss the place immediately when I left there, even wanna apply for a waitress vacancy there, haha More

Since it was hard to find a parking place we should have been prepared for the wonderful food and atmosphere. All locals eating here. The food was divine. Live music in the evenings. More

We were visiting Doolin and looking for a place to watch the Football (Soccer) game and decided on McGann's. The staff was very friendly and the crowd was too! There were TVs in the back room showing the game and some great live music out front. We decided to try the fish and chips recommended by some other diners...we were... More
