We stopped here for lunch, so we did not enjoy any of the music, but our food was great. I had the roast and my wif had salmon. It had a great relaxing pub atmosphere. More

Popped into McDermotts for lunch. Had a lovely bowl of fresh vegetable soup and a salad sandwich. All very fresh and tasty. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. More

We sought shelter from the rain at McDermott's and found so much more. The food was tasty and the portions filling. We met travelers from around the world (United States, France and Germany -- just to name a few). And we enjoyed the traditional music and wide variety of Irish whiskeys. We'll definitely be back!

Had a great night at the pub, good atmosphere, nice enough staff. Had the worst fish and chips on the planet, it was cold, under-cooked and frankly just bad. The crab was good though! More

Great pub with lovely music every night. I travelled 4 x to Ireland, and every year I turn back to McDermotts, can't stay away from this perfect place! More

This is a great place - they had live music the night we went. The place was packed and you could still get a drink in a reasonable amount of time. If you don't like tourists or big crowds, you won't like it. We had a blast! Sat in Liar's Corner. More
