What Lynn D doesn't like about The Matchmaker Pub:
Not really fair to leave a low review so have gone midway even though we did not get to sample the food the service or the atmosphere. Just wanted to warn others that it's only open at the weekend. Such a shame and a wasted opportunity. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 View all feedback. What User likes about The Matchmaker Pub:
Visited in September 2018 So a great place While we arrived at the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival we came across the game maker bar. Such a great atmosphere here during the festival, but I'm not sure how the pub would be on a normal weekend. We talked to a few guys who were actually 10 minutes on the road from us, that we never knew it was definitely worth a visit. View all feedback.
