A taste of what to expect…
KEANE’S PUB,
MAAM VALLEY
Keane`s Bar, one of the most distinctive buildings in Connemara, is one of the oldest licenced premises in Ireland. Built by Alexander Nimmo in the early 1820`s as his residence while he was designing and building the roads of Connemara. After his death the house became an inn and was known as “Maam Hotel”. It accommodated such diverse clientele from British aristocracy to Padraic Pearse, who wrote a message in the hotel`s visitors book. It was bought by the Kenae family in 1969. Today the bar is very popular with tourists, walkers and locals alike. The bar has often been compared to ” a very cosy sitting room” with a large open fire and plenty of home comforts. A gem of a pub in the most scenic valley of Connemara.
TIGH DARBY,
BELADANGAN
As we venture south to the Gaeltacht our next port of call is Tigh Darby in the village of Beladangan. The village is the gateway to the Connemara isles and is situated with commanding views of Great Man’s Bay just east of the first bridge linking the islands. Once a well-known dance venue run by the late Dermot Nestor, better known as Seamus from the Irish-language soap opera, Ros na Rún. Tigh Darby is very much a local pub where the conversation flows and laughter abounds. With a wide array of attractions such as pool and darts, you’re guaranteed to be entertained and well looked after. Irish is the spoken word here, but don’t worry we will help you out!
TESTIMONIALS
“GREAT WAY TO SPEND A VACATION DAY IN IRELAND!”
"We recently took the Connemara & Aran Islands pub tour from Connemara Pub Tours and found it an excellent value and great fun. Our guide Padraic was a local and very knowledgeable about the gaelic culture. We enjoyed being introduced to gaelic football. Inisheer was beautiful and the seafood was fantastic. We highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland."

“INCREDIBLY WELL ORGANISED STAG ACTIVITY BY THE TEAM”
"I organised this activity for a stag party in Galway with an ever changing number and other difficult factors. Padraic was our guide, got engaged with our group and also talked us through each pub. He was in regular contact with us throughout the build up to the day and nothing was ever a problem. Thoroughly recommended, even though I'm a pretty hard customer to please!"

“ONE OF THE TOP TRAVEL EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE!”
"I've been lucky enough to travel a lot and do a lot, but I have to say this is one of the events that is at the top of my list. A couple of friends and I joined the Connemara Aran Islands pub crawl along with a stag party and I couldn't have asked for a better day."

“WONDERFUL STAG DO EXPERIENCE”
"The highlight of the weekend for the 12 of us. A wonderful island in the sunshine with some great pubs and memorable flights there and back. Padraic was the perfect your guide and I can't recommend the Connemara & Aran Isles tour highly enough."
