You've seen the photos.
Now taste the Guinness.
D O'Shea's Bar. The pink pub in Sneem, pouring pints since the O'Sheas first painted it pink.
You've probably seen this pub before. On a postcard, maybe. In an American Express ad. On someone's phone as they showed you their Ireland trip.
The pink has been here for decades. The O'Shea family painted it that way, and when Mary and Garbhan Kavanagh took over in 1996, they knew better than to change it. They gutted the inside, modernised the kitchen, built a terrace with views of the estuary. But the pink stayed.
These days, the cameras still click outside. But inside, it's just a pub. Turf fire going. Someone's da at the bar. Food that's better than it needs to be.

"Best place to get a Guinness in Sneem"

Turf fire. Wooden beams. The kind of quiet you only find in places that have been here a while.
