Step through the door of The Main Bar and you’re stepping into one of the oldest and most loved pubs in County Clare. Low beams, open fires, and walls thick with history set the scene for a pint, a chat, and the kind of welcome Clare is known for. It’s also where most of our visitors choose to sit down for food in Bunratty, with a menu of pub classics and local favourites served right where you’re having your drink.
A Pub in Clare, Right in the Heart of Bunratty
If you’re looking for a pub in Clare, the Main Bar is it. We’re located in Bunratty village, just beside Bunratty Castle and within easy reach of Shannon Airport, a popular stop for anyone exploring the Wild Atlantic Way or touring the Clare coast.
On tap and behind the bar, you’ll find a full range of draught beers, ciders, stouts, and lagers, along with a good selection of spirits, wines, and an extensive cocktail menu. Whether you’re after a pint of Guinness by the fire or something from our cocktail list, the bar staff will look after you.
