Adare, Ireland: Aunty Lena’s + Pat Collins Bar/O'Coileain; restaurant review

In addition to a wide variety of drinks, many pubs in Adare, Ireland serve bar food during the day.  Two of the best are:

Aunty Lena’s  

Main St., 00 353 (0)61 396114.  

Traditional Irish food is served here all day every day, and music is scheduled several nights each week.  Featuring a cozy traditional interior and picnic tables out on the sidewalk, it is always very busy.

Pat Collins Bar/O'Coileain  

Main St., 00353 61 396143.  

This family-run bar is renowned for good conversation, good beer, and inexpensive quality food--soups, sandwiches, fresh salmon, Irish stew, spectacularly delicious salads, and more, and Irish coffee is a specialty of the house.  The evening I was here, the whole establishment was mesmerized watching a hurling competition on TV, and the Guinness flowed.
