    Leaving from where, at what time and what way are you travelling? What day of the week will you be LK? What kind of music/bar scene do you like?

    Then Dooley's outside of Ardee for food. They will do half portions too which are pretty large. You'd probably go that way from Navan too.
    Voodoo is probably a good option for you. Gallaghers do have a club but I'm not sure how active it is these days.

    Other venues are The Pulse, Orchard Inn and Golden Grill, but I've not sure where the hot spot would be at this point. Gallagher's is actually a good location for you, since its a a good centre point to all these places.

    Thanks for all the info and help

    Probably will go from Navan as planning on malin head then back down to hotel, so twenty minutes or so less will help a bit

    Malin Head is a good 45-60 mins away from Letterkenny depending on traffic.

    There are 3 hotels on the main street in Letterkenny, Station House, Dillons and Gallaghers. Milan, the niteclub attached to Gallaghers hasn't been open in years.

    Voodoo has a main bar with live music and club upstairs. McGinleys next door is live music. The Pulse at the other end of the main street in a club with live band. Sister Sara's discobar is across the road from there. Most other bars have bands on.

    You're probably better off eating closer to Malin then - I'd suggest swinging by Derry city centre to eat, but there's also Buncrana and other places in Inishowen.

    if you pick a town or area to eat in, I'm sure people will come up with recommendations.

    Maybe Harry's in Bridgend. You might hit the area just after 12 if are leaving that early. Would be close to the routes towards Malin iirc.

    I second Harry's. Or the Gap Coffee Company, also in Bridgend. Or An Grianan Hotel, just up the road from there in Burt. Good food in them all!

    If you leave letterkenny in the morning say around 8 in the morning you will be in Malin head at around 9.15/9.30 that is if you dont stop.

    There is not alot in Malin Head except the scenery. but it is just nice to be able to say that you were at the very tip of Ireland

    There are loads of places where you could eat between Letterkenny and Malin Head

    There is Kiernans Diner on the main road to Bridgend you cant miss it
    I wouldnt advise going to Derry to eat It would be going out off your way and the exchange rate is desperate at the moment

    There are loads of places in Buncrana to eat The Lily Rose cafe Oscars The harbour

    Then there is Carndonagh where there are also plenty of cafes



    You could probably catch lunch in the Malin hotel on your way back and still be back for for 3

    Happy holidays
