McCuaig's Bar - In truth this is a no-brainer since it is the only bar on the island and appears to be open 24 hours (or as near as makes no difference) in the season. Not a place for a quiet pint, it is neither clean nor tidy, you can forget no-smoking areas and frankly the toilet is a disgrace, but it is the social centre of the island, there will probably be live music (take an instrument with you or just sing along) and the craic is 110% Irish at it's very best. What more could you want after a 14 hour passage?

Chip Ahoy - Possibly the finest chip van in the known universe and very professionally run (I have never previously seen such an establishment use a temperature probe) by two friendly young ladies, one of whom had personally landed some of the fish on the morning of the day we ate there. Superb!

Read all about it in my blog entry Ireland - At Last if you've nothing better to do for five minutes.
