Gus O’Connor’s Pub
Review
Gus O’Connor’s Pub, perfectly located in the charming coastal village of Doolin, Co. Clare, is the epitome of a traditional Irish pub. Established in 1832, it has been lovingly cared for by its current owner Patrick Sexton and his family for over 25 years, continuing a legacy where every owner has cherished this iconic establishment. Renowned for its warm hospitality, Gus O’Connor’s offers fantastic locally sourced food, an excellent selection of drinks, and an atmosphere that’s hard to match. Live music fills the air seven nights a week, showcasing some of the best Irish trad sessions you’ll find anywhere in the country. Whether you’re stopping in after exploring the world famous Cliffs of Moher or just passing through Doolin, this pub is a must-visit. A true cornerstone of the local community, Gus O’Connor’s is more than a pub, it’s an unforgettable experience and an essential stop for anyone visiting Clare.
