Glór
Clare’s cultural centre is in a striking modern building. Art, traditional music, theatre, dance, photography and film are some of the programs offered. There’s a strong Irish bias, but international influences are celebrated. The café is suitably artistic. Soups, salads, sandwiches, hot dishes and desserts are creative and enticing. Lots of veggie options.

Knox's Pub
Knox's gives it all its got if you're looking for chart sounds, DJs riffing, full-on football megascreen action and a raucous crowd. Mr Knox, the original coffee, wine and spirits merchant, is no doubt spinning in his grave to the beat of the music. It's open late past midnight.

Library Bar
Trendy bar/club with a small patio sheltered by shrubs where you can text your crew to come join you. A few books really are placed around the edgy, moody interior, with lots of primary-colour backlights behind the bar. Open till 2am at weekends.

Cíaran’s Bar
Slip into this small place by day and you can be just another geezer pondering a pint. At night there’s usually trad music. We bet you wish you had a copy of the Guinness mural out front!

McQ’s
Aromatic peat fires warm this cosy pub that’s a haven on a rainy day. There’s good food and a few simple B&B rooms upstairs.

Close to Brandon’s, this plain-tile-fronted pub is a hideout for local musicians serious about their trad sessions.
