Barnacles Bar and Kitchen opened in central Salthill in late October 2022, in the premises which was most-recently R. M McCabe's Gastropub, next-door to Da Roberta's Italian restaurant.
It's run by a business partnership who have operated seafood restaurants in County Clare and beyond. Their opening menu aims to be seasonal, featuring local produce and seafood, with a roast-dinner offering on Sundays, and a children's menu.
Drinks on offer include all the standard range expected range, and with "prohibition-style" cocktails featuring spirits from the local Micil Distillery.
The decoration inside aims to look like a traditional Irish pub, with some interesting twists including a Library Bar.
Open from Wednesday thru Sunday, 12-noon until "late," with last food orders at 9pm.
