The Burren

Wonderful traditional Irish pub, one of the best in a city known for its Irish pubs. Much better food than you would expect and the great line-up of beers that that you should expect. Live music virtually everyday and at all times, whether from scheduled acts from around the world appearing in the back or from ongoing informal seisiún going in the front. Lovely seating out on the street, weather permitting as well as tables and booths throughout inside. Good crowd of all ages usually, and a good time is virtually guaranteed if you're willing to hold up your end of the inevitable conversation.

It pretends to be something special, but it really isn't. The decor is quite messy, random and has barely anything to do with Ireland. Wasn't very excited about food quality and quite limited choice of drinks. On the pros side it is priced accordingly which makes it a decent local bar for a non demanding customer.

Had a lovely afternoon, enjoyed live music finally after more than a year ! Great food and innovative cocktails. Warm, welcoming place with deep musical roots. The Burren is a gem. We ended up sharing a table with the owners. What a great couple ! And such generous hospitality. Can't wait to go back.
