A favorite!

O'Donohue's is the quintessential Irish pub, great food, and even better company. A must visit for anyone traveling to or through Fanore (check ahead for seasonal hours). Our trip to Fanore resulted in our making arrangements for a trip back!

Lunch ok

YUMMY!

I loved this pub. I had the soup of the day which was exceptional and the brown bread which I have grown to love. It was great service with friendly people.
