TWO BUNRATTY OUTLETS have been recognised as the top of their trade.

DURTY NELLY’s in Bunratty has been named as one of the bars of the year in Ireland while JP Clarke’s has been lauded for its offering.

At the Bar of the Year awards held in the Clayton Hotel last week, Durty Nellys took gold in the tourist bar of the year category and such brought a new piece of silver back to the mantlepiece of the landmark Bunratty pub.

JP Clarke’s also situated in Bunratty was named Gastro Bar of the Year holding off the challenge of Hamlets Street Food & Gastro Garden in Cork and Oasis Bar & Restaurant in Donegal.

Both Durty Nelly’s and JP Clarke’s have proven to be hugely popular spots with locals and visitors alike. They are often one of the first stopping points for tourists who have landed at Shannon Airport.
