Basil Sheils
Review
Basil Sheils Bar & Restaurant is a true hidden gem, offering not just a fantastic pub and dining experience but also cozy B&B accommodation. Whether you're staying for a night or planning a longer visit in one of their nearby self-catering properties, this place has something for everyone. The bar itself is legendary, attracting visitors from far and wide, particularly for its live music events, which are simply unmissable. Basil Sheils holds its own among Ireland’s most iconic pubs, standing proudly alongside greats like Durty Nelly’s of Bunratty, Dublin’s Jonnie Fox’s, and Westports Matt Molloy’s. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. The staff deserve special mention, going above and beyond to ensure every guest has a memorable experience. Whether you come for the food, the music, or the hospitality, one thing is certain: Basil Sheils is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
