What our customers say

"We recently spent three nights on the island and ate three lunches and three dinners at Joe Watty’s all of which were excellent. The staff was warm and welcoming each time, service was excellent and timely."

"Visited from Dublin with fellow Dubliner friend who lives in Germany 40 plus years. From the minute we landed on the island we were amazed by the scenery, friendly, helpful locals. PJ and his wife Grace owners of Ti Joe Watty could not do enough for us."

"After our Pony & Trap Tour with Thomas, he dropped us off at Joe Wattys for lunch! We sat at the bar & ordered Fish & Chips & chatted with the Locals! Definitely recommend this Pub on Inishmor!!"

"Had a great evening at Joe Watty’s. There were 9 of us in the party. All of us were happy with the food. The service was excellent. Highly recommend for a laid back dinner while enjoying all that Inis Mór has to offer."
