2020 Award Winners PUB OF THE YEAR 2020

The Roadside Tavern Lisdoonvarna Co Clare

Peter Curtin’s historic and hospitable hostelry oozes character and, famous for music for over a century, many legendary musicians have played here. More recent attractions are beers from their on-site microbrewery, the Burren Brewery, and the good food served by ‘Kieran’s Kitchen’ where chef Kieran O’Halloran (also owner of the gorgeous new Oar Restaurant in Doolin) features smoked fish from the family’s other equally famous business, the nearby Burren Smoke-house (burrensmokehouse.com) on his simply delicious menus. Next door, the latest enterprise, the multi-purpose venue, Burren Storehouse offers artisan pizzas and chargrills nightly in summer. All round, this great traditional pub and its associated businesses are the hub of activities in Lisdoonvarna - and go a long way towards making it one of the West of Ireland’s coolest destinations.
