Powers Bar

Nettes kleines Lokal. Von außen eher unscheinbar. Aber das ist ja in Irland wohl des Öfteren so. Bedienung sehr nett. Essen sehr gut.

Wonderful Atlantic salmon served on mashed potatoes with green beans and a fabulous hollandaise sauce. Great atmosphere with a seat by the fire and a pint. Service to love!

What a gem! This was such a great find on my drive back from Connemara to Dublin. 2 epic reasons this place caught my attention:
1) It has an authentic Irish exterior; an old thatched roof building, painted white with cute red windows/​door :-)
2) Badger and Dodo coffee sign!
I’m obsessed with thatched roof houses so I couldn’t believe my luck, this one was a pub! Instantly you smell the warm and smokey air from the turf burning from an open fire (also have a stove fire to the rear) and then, perfect the staff back it all up with a friendly greeting :-) although only a little pit shop on my way home I could have stayed here all day, it’s that perfect little pub where you’d sit back read the papers or a book and sip away slowly on a pint. They have quiet an interesting menu available, not overly hungry I only opted for the soup which was great and it came with what I can only describe as the best seeded brown bread I’ve ever tasted. This place is firmly on my radar when I’m heading to/​from Connemara now and would recommend this place to everyone, perfect stop or if you’re staying in or around the village, I’d say you’d have a great local pub experience as the night goes on. Man, I wish this place was near where I live!

If you’re looking for a countryside Irish pub to warm up and a nice pint of Guinness this is what you’ve been looking for.
Simple but well decorated with a fire going and a nice smokey atmosphere it wouldn’t be hard to hole up here and have way too many Guinness. We didn’t end up eating a full meal here but a lot of food came out around us and it all looked incredible, as did the menu. My wife and I split of chocolate orange cake which was delicious.
The service was really attentive for a pub. It seemed like a spot where more than a few locals spend their time.
