Whitegate-based restaurant the Half Barrel had been nominated in two catagories in the 2024 Irish Restaurant Awards.

One East Clare restaurant has been nominated in a number of categories in the 2024 Irish Restaurant Awards.

The Half Barrel, based in Whitegate, is nominated in two categories: Best Casual Dining and Best Gastro Pub.

For the dedicated staff of the Half Barrel, this momentous achievement in being nominated in two categories serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to culinary excellence and unparalleled hospitality. Each member of the team, from the passionate chefs to the attentive servers, has played an integral role in securing these nominations.

The Munster Regional Awards will take place on Wednesday, March 27, in the Great Southern Hotel in Kilkenny.

Here both county and provincial winners will be chosen based on the nominees, with the winners in each category going on to attend the All Ireland Awards Gala Dinner held in May.

As a cosy pub, The Half Barrel promises a delightful respite, whether you seek a refreshing drink or a hearty and delicious meal.

The addition of regular live music performances adds an extra layer of charm to The Half Barrel, transforming it from a dining destination into a cultural hub where music lovers gather to share in the magic of live performances.

Last summer marked an exciting chapter for The Half Barrel as it welcomed new management following the retirement of its previous stewards.

Under the capable leadership of Patrick O’Connor and his dedicated team, the restaurant has flourished, achieving new heights of success.

These prestigious nominations serve as a heartfelt tribute to the collective efforts of all those who contribute to The Half Barrel's legacy, reaffirming its status as an iconic venue beloved by all in East Clare.
