Nestled in the heart of Buncrana, the Drift Inn offers a cozy atmosphere complete with maritime décor, a roaring log fire, and delicious pints of Guinness. While the restaurant may be temporarily closed due to Covid, flavorful pizzas are available along with outdoor dining options. Live music is making a return, adding to the relaxed ambiance. Despite some mixed reviews on food availability and service, the warm and friendly staff make it a worthwhile stop for a casual drink or snack. Whether you're a local or just passing through, the Drift Inn is a charming spot not to be missed.
