    Hi,

    Myself and a few lads are thinking a going on a trip to Doolin for a night, probably saturday night.

    Can someone give me a good hostel to stay in for a few lads (early twenties) and which is the best pub down their for a bit of craic?

    We're form Galway and just want a change a scenery for a night and a bit a craic!

    Doolin hostel always had good reviews.

    There are three pubs in Doolin: McDermott's, McGann's and O'Connor's.
    All three are famous for the music and the atmosphere. The most touristy one is O'Connor's (there is always something going on), my personal favourite is McGann's. Opposite is McDermott's, in my opinion the rather quiet one.
    But you can do all of them in one night.

    They are all great pubs. The best craic you can get anywhere. Getting from O'Connors back to the other 2 is a bit of hassle as it's a walk of about 2 km. If you are lucky you might get the Polish lad with a minibus. Otherwise walk it, if it's dry.
    Doolin Hotel is in between them too if you got tired of the walk!
    The road is narrow and dark so be carefull.
    Best spot in Ireland!

    You could always bring a couple of tents. O'C onnors Campsite right in the center.

    No problem in the campsite. Been there done that myself!
    Park the car beside the tent in a quiet corner, it's a big area.

    So did I a few weeks back, Nagles is a huge campsite so as long as you find a quite corner away from families ye'll be grand :)
