Top Favorite Pubs in Dingle

Accepted Answer

The following are our Top 7 Favorite Pubs in Dingle, all within easy walking distance of Harriet's Cottage.  ​  1. John Benny’s (Strand St.)  A toasty cast iron woodstove, stone slab floor, memorabilia on the walls, great staff and no intrusive TV make this one of Dingle's most enjoyable traditional pubs. Local musicians pour in most nights for rockin' trad sessions.     2. Foxy John’s (Main St)  Dingle has more than 50 pubs, many of them mongrel affairs that still have vestiges of their lives as shops. Foxy John’s on Main St is one example and stocks hardware and outdoor clothing as well as beer and whiskey. They even rent out bikes!     3. The Courthouse (The Mall)  The Courthouse is the first place we send people looking for traditional Irish music and a relaxing, memorable evening. If you are a tourist on a short visit and are craving outstanding music, this is the place.     4. An Droichead Beag (Main St)  Sitting beside a bridge leading to the road over the Conor Pass, this pub is known for its “mighty” sessions of Irish traditional music scheduled every night of the year.     5. Dick Mack’s (Green St)  Probably Dingle’s most well-known pub.  It carries on a cobbler’s tradition, with a small leather shop still on the premises and an array of handcrafted leather boots, belts, and key fobs still on display.  The walls are lined with family memorabilia, old pictures, and books.  The bar area is small and includes an old-fashioned snug.     6. Kennedys Bar (Goat Street)  It’s like visiting someone’s home except they can also serve you delicious Dingle & Tonic. One of our favorite bars in Dingle is also just a stone’s throw from Harriet’s Cottage. A lovely cozy and warm atmosphere will await you, a definite recommendation for your first beverage in Dingle.  ​  7. Bob Griffins (Strand Street)  is a charming historic pub that exudes traditional Irish warmth.

Question 3

Top Restaurants in Dingle

Accepted Answer

The following are our Top 4 Favorite Restaurants in Dingle.     1. Solas (Strand St)  Tapas style restaurant that offers the freshest locally sourced produce, brought together to make some of the most delicious meals you will ever experience. The key element of what they get right is the simple excellence of the plates because the Solas food offer is red-hot-good: the prawns with chickpeas; the stunning chowder croquette; pork belly with an apple and lime tartare that is worth the trip to Dingle all on its own.      2. Out of the Blue (Strand St)  'No chips', reads the menu of this funky blue-and-yellow, fishing-shack-style restaurant on the waterfront. Despite its rustic surrounds, this is one of Dingle's best restaurants, with an intense devotion to fresh local seafood (and only seafood); if they don't like the catch, they don't open. With seafood this good, who needs chips?     3. Ashes (Main St.)  Owned by a distant relation of Gregory Peck, this elegantly fronted gastropub serves modern takes on seafood in old-fashioned surrounds. The tempura of Pollack with coriander aioli is mighty fine.      4. The Blue Zone (Green St.)  Looking for the best pizza in Ireland, thank look no further. Not only is the pizza delicious but the wine list is excellent, the salads as wonderful and the atmosphere is a delight. This is a great location for a relaxed fun dinner in Dingle.
