Roadside Tavern
The Roadside Tavern
A Lisdoonvarna tavern run by the Curtin family since 1893, brewing its own Burren beer and serving house-smoked salmon.
Located beside the N67 road in Lisdoonvarna, the tavern has a brewery upstairs producing three beers: Burren Gold, Red and Black. The salmon comes from the family's Burren smokehouse. Head chef Peter Jackson focuses on familiar home cooking, including smoked salmon platters, the 'Ultimate Seafood Platter' with Flaggy Shore oysters (around €80, enough for three people), and daily specials such as fisherman's pie and roast lamb ribs. Traditional music is often played in the evenings. Expect around €25–40 per person.
