Reviews summary

Tubridy's in Doonbeg offers a mixed experience with some patrons finding it loud and a place more suited for sports enthusiasts, while others praise the friendly staff and delicious food. The establishment received accolades for excellent service, delicious food like fish pie and apple crumble, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

We were self catering about 6km from this restaurant and treated ourselves one of our final nights. We had had a filling chowder in Lehinch earlier in the day and an ice cream to follow so ordered main courses only. Staff were welcoming and friendly despite no reservation: a true Clare welcome to my Mum in her late 70s, myself and my two children aged 5 and 7 respectively. There was a kids menu and my children ordered the homemade burgers which were definitely homemade and fab. There were no prices on the kids menu and as driver of our trip, I was treated as were the kids to our meal so I 'm not sure of the price of the kids burgers. For mains, my Mum and I had the Hake dish at €26 each. Intermittently, my Mum muttered 'I 'm in heaven ' and 'wow ' whilst eating hers. It was delicious: a rich, filling, cooked perfectly but fancy dish which we both thoroughly savoured. We had water, Miwadi and a glass of milk to wash it down. Worth the price. Definitely recommended if staying locally or passing by. Hats off to the Polish chef.

We visited Tubridy’s today for Sunday lunch with the family—my wife, our two daughters, and one of their fiancés—and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. ​The food was absolutely amazing and arrived perfectly prepared. It’s rare to find such high-quality meals that are also so reasonably priced, making it the perfect spot for a family gathering. ​Beyond the food, the staff were lovely—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier Sunday roast and great service! ​

Superb seafood enhanced by use of local ingredients. We tried the hake and the crab tortellini and both were excellent. Can’t wait to return.

Good food and nice atmosphere! The restaurant was full when we were there but they also had a take-out place where we could order food which we could then combine with drinks from the pub and eat on their outdoor terrace. Nice!

Been wanting to eat here for a while and finally got a chance! Excellent food all round. Menu small enough but options for all tastes. Full restaurant, staff under pressure but dealt with us really well. Expensive, but great quality and value for money. Would recommend.

After swimming in the nearby White Strand one evening we were famished and decided to try and grab a takeaway on our one and a half hour drive home. Passing thru the village of Doonbeg, we came across a takeaway, which is part of Tubridy 's Bar Restaurant. It advertised outside Fresh Fish Chips . We had to try this. Fillets of Fresh Hake battered in front of us and then cooked to perfection and served with Chips and Tartar Sauce. Really yummy! We will be back!

We arrived in Donberg on Tuesday on the way back to Doolin with food we had bought at the only open restaurant, a Kebab place, since inexplicably and unexpectedly all restaurants in that town close on Tuesday and Wednesday. I walked into Tubridy’s and asked the proprietor if we could eat the food we had brought with a Guinness. He could not have been more kinder and more hospitable. Our host had inherited Tubridy’s and had expanded from a single room to a fine dining restaurant with patio and lots of amenities. He and his only competitor deal with the Tuesday/Wednesday closure by one opening on Tuesday, his neighbor, and Tubridy’s on Wednesday. Our think the hospitality was genuine and will be available to all.

Nipped in for a lovely pint of Guinness while my fish and chips order was being prepared in their chip shop. Fish and chips were excellent

Ate with family on Wednesday night. The seafood was exceptional. We had Crab claws and Prawn lakso and the cod. It was stunning. Recommend the mango dessert it was delicious. I cannot recommend fish courses enough. It was very busy but with good food and such quality it was worth the wait. Loved it !!

I didn’t get to try my husband's dish because I was too engrossed in mine, but he had the brie appetizer and I think he would have licked the plate clean if there had been a design on it; he left nothing behind! He also enjoyed the burger for his main course and said it was delicious, with tender and flavorful meat and perfect accompaniments. We were both too full for dessert, but we will definitely be back!

The food was fantastic and the ambiance was wonderful. I truly wish we could have visited more than once. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist us. I particularly enjoyed the artwork displayed throughout the restaurant, especially the picture of the late Sir Terry Wogan. - Gene Clohessy

They gave us a dinner table on Saturday at 9:30. Some portions could be a bit bigger, but service and quality were amazing. Seaweed Salat was the highlight of our dinner.

Nicely presented and delicious food. Not a great choice, especially when vegetarian, but seasonal and good quality. We had to wait long, though we had booked, but the waiting staff was great and super helpful.
