The Bars at the Den
Open fires, comfortable lounges and full service. Seisuns, parties, celebrations and a great night immersing yourself in the culture of tradtional Irish music and guinness. The bars also feature a disco which is the only one in Letterfrack and for miles around. It makes for a great night out and for those who wish to party.

Dining at the Den
The food at the Bards Den always features fresh local and Irish produce where possible and when in season. Crab, mussels, scallops, pollock and salmon are all sourced locally.

Trout, brill and more are harvested off the west coast. Lamb dishes are prepared from Connemara lamb and feature Irish Stew, Rack of Lamb, Lamb Shank, Centreloin Lamb Cutlets and Roast Leg of Lamb. Only prime Irish beef is offered and the Bards Den is renowned for its Fillet, T-bone and Entrecote Steaks.

Add in Smoked Salmon, Chowders and homemade brown bread. There is no better way to finish a Connemara day. Light snacks to full meals always available.
