A traditional Irish pub and live music venue, MC McGraths Bar & Grill is sewn into the fabric of Clifden’s lengthy history. A business that spans generations and goes back for about 200 years, the folks at MC McGraths are mad about music and dedicated to having the craic.

This enthusiasm can be felt as soon as you step over the threshold, as a good Irish trad session echoes out the door and down Bridge Street, drawing in passersby that quickly become regulars. Always delighted to present the most talented and passionate musicians from near and far spanning just about every genre; old Irish, American country, rock n roll, blue grass – you name it, they’ve got it. Enjoying a well-poured pint and some delicious bar food by the fireside as your toe taps to some top-notch tunes – sounds like bliss, doesn’t it?
