JP Clarkes
Review
JP Clarke’s Bar & Restaurant in historic Bunratty is a standout country pub where rustic charm meets confident modern style. Irish owned and Irish run, it has earned that rare badge of local trust. I always follow local recommendations, and this is exactly the kind of place they send you to. Since opening in 2008, JP Clarke’s has welcomed guests from around the world, and its strong reputation is well deserved. A major 2023 refurbishment has elevated the space beautifully, with clear investment in comfort, quality, and long-term vision. The kitchen delivers consistently superb food, crafted by chefs who genuinely care about every plate. Add open fires, a warm atmosphere, and friendly staff who clearly love hospitality, and you have a dining experience worth returning for.
