Really cool pub with multiple rooms for food/drinks.There’s also a small outdoor area which is nice.Staff were sound and the food was great. I was impressed with the amount of vegan and vegetarian options they had.The Loaded Fries topped with Mixed Bean Chilli, chipotle mayo & cheese were unreal. So tasty.My friends also had the vegan mixed bean chili with chips which was very good too.Others had the seafood chowder with a prawn sandwich which they said was nice.Great pint of Guinness too!Would definitely recommend this place.

Such an adorable Irish pub, lots of cute small cozy rooms- I had the loaded fries which was perfect on a cold evening.

What a gem! Rambling, many room, pub & restaurant. Super warm and friendly folks working there. A welcome oasis for vegan food as well! I had a BBQ jackfruit sandwich (with some of that famous smokey Silkie whiskey in the sauce!) that was outstanding. Fun atmosphere - I was there on a Tuesday night and a roving group of staff from another pub up the road were passing through, singing songs. Wish I was hanging around Ardara longer so I could come back again.

I had a memorable time here at Nancy's pub. For our meal we sat in what was probably an old living room by ourselves, very cosy, it was just like eating around the table at home. The starter was the highlight of the meal: six fine oysters! It is lots of fun to eat them. Then for my main I had a glorious grilled cheese and salmon sandwich. Very tasty. I can also speak for the battered fish and chips: you get a massive fish! And to finish I had a nice hearty apple pie. Overall a surprisingly homely meal that everyone enjoyed, I highly recommend!

The raw oyster’s with gin from the local Ardara distillery were simply unreal. The overall experience here was our most authentic restaurant experience in our entire Ireland trip!!
