Linnane's
Irish standards like smoked sal- mon and more are fully honoured here. Peat fires warm the almost bare interior; nary a frill in sight. There's trad music many nights in summer.

Vaughan's Pub
Seafood, traditional foods and local produce feature on the Vaughan's appealing menu. The pub has a big reputation in Irish music circles. There's music in the bar every night during the summer and on many nights the rest of the year. The adjacent barn is the scene of terrific set-dancing sessions on Thursday and Sunday nights. Have a pint under the big tree out front.

Cassidy's
Cassidy's serves up a good range of pub dishes, several with witty names reflecting the establishment's previous incarnation as a British Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) station, and then as a garda (police) barracks. Enjoy trad music and dancing some weekends. The views from the terrace are as intoxicating as the drink.

Roadside Tavern
Down by the river, this pub is pure craic. Third-generation owner Peter Curtin knows every story worth telling. There are trad sessions daily in summer and during the weekends in winter. Imbibing musicians can be found here anytime. The trad fun extends to the kitchen, which turns out creamy seafood chowders etc. Anything with smoked fish is good as they also run the nearby Burren Smokehouse.

Monk's Bar & Restaurant
Famed for its excellent seafood, Monk's is a cheerful, spacious and comfortable place. Peat fires warm in winter, while sea breezes cool you at the outdoor tables in summer. The pub is open late and there are trad sessions some nights in high season.

Inchiquin Inn
Townsfolk follow the horses at this oh-so-local pub with a great kitchen. The seafood chowder and bacon and cabbage are some of the best you'll find. The former is thick, tangy and redolent with smoked fish. There's trad music some summer nights. An annual stone-throwing championship out back in June is a huge local party. Hostel beds upstairs are €15 per person.

Ólólainn
A tiny family-run place on the left as you head out to the pier, Ólólainn (o- loch -lain) is the place for a timeless moment or two in old-fashioned snugs. Look for the old whiskey bottles in the window.

Linnane's Seafood Bar
This seafood place achieved widespread cachet as a no-nonsense purveyor of fresh seafood sourced from the trap-covered docks behind the restaurant. For centuries this area was famous for its oysters; shellfish are still processed here and you can sometimes buy them from the little works behind the pub.

Corofin Arms Restaurant
This sprightly, always popular little pub offers dishes made with locally sourced foods, including tangy Kilnaboy cheese from just up the road.

Doolin Cafe
The cottage is small, but the flavours are big at this much-loved bistro. Salads, soups and sandwiches are the deal at lunch, while at night there's a range of meats and seafood with fusion preparations.

Cullinan's Modern
Attached to the guesthouse of the same name, this excellent and rather posh restaurant offers delicious seafood as well as meat and poultry dishes. The short menu changes depending on what's fresh, but is always creative. Bold combinations are favoured and there's a long wine list.
