Good pubs in Ennis

Can anyone recommend a good pub for a drink in Ennis on a week night. I used to go to the halfway house but it seems to have gone downhill over the last year or two. Just a quiet pub with a good pint, friendly staff and a dartboard would be a bonus.

Gleeson's in the Turnpike would meet most of those requests and not too far from the Halfway. Otherwise, I think there's a couple of bar's in Clarecastle with dart boards (don't know exactly sorry), I don't know of any in town itself

The place that used to be sullies, bar 26 all bar 1, whatever it's called now, beside Knoxes..
It's run now by the fella who used to run D'arcy's so there's probably a dart board in there now.

That place that Mark kelly runs on the Quin Rd used to be good for a few quiet ones during the week a couple of years ago. Don't know about now...

It's a pretty nice spot for something like that alright. The Queens is better (decor and atmosphere wise if not music wise) than most of the nightclubs in the country IMO. But then I'm not a big nightclub person so maybe I'm not a good judge.

Ciaran's and Patricks are my two favourite bars in Ennis, both have a great atmosphere and are imo really well run and sure if it's afterhours you're looking for Ciarans is your only place!!

The Queens is ****e. They are by no means comparable to the larger clubs in Dublin. Whats worse is the fact they charge MORE than the clubs in Dublin.

Even places like Diceys which is known to be expensive only charges €10 at the door.

Also, lets not forget Dublin clubs don't kick ye out until after three on weekends sure.

I'm not very familiar with Dublin clubs. Haven't been in any of the decent ones anyway. All I know is Cork doesn't have anything nice except maybe the Pavillion, which sort of sucks as well because the smoking area can only comfortably fit 10 people. I like the new Queens layout because you can get around it easily without having to push and shove past people. The music still sucks but what can you do. That's what people want to hear.

diceys is a late bar not a nightclub, and theres plenty of nightclubs in dublin charging more than 10 euro in, come to think of it theres plenty in cork, limerick and galway charging more than a tenner in.

Cruises is one of the nicest pubs not just in Ennis but in the entire Midwest. Esp in winter when the fire is going and they stick on a bit of Christy Moore. Guinness is tasty there.

I thought brandons was a chemist. they got worst night club of the year not too long ago, thats why they removed the cover charge and hiked up the price of cans.

Try the copper jug in Lifford if you want a place that keeps serving .

Lol is right,

Where have al the good pubs gone?
The Barge Rooms / Kearneys was great, & Tom Steeles used to be hopping from Thursday to Sunday, Lifford area in general was very busy & the rest of the pubs along that strip, The Copper is some craic & has a great beer garden aswel.
Where is nice to go to now in Ennis? because i am @ complete odds with it!
