A True Irish Experience

Discover the rich history and warm hospitality of Joe Watty’s Bar & Seafood Restaurant, nestled in the heart of Inis Mór.

A Welcoming Local Aran Islands Bar

Good food, music & craic located just a short walk from the pier in Kilronan village at the cross-roads that lead to Dún Aengus and the Seal Colony.

Depending on the weather, you may relax and unwind in front of a warm open fire with an Irish coffee (it’s considered one of the ‘Cosiest pubs in Ireland for a drink by the Fire’ by the Journal.ie) or you can enjoy a pint of Guinness in the beer garden and watch the world go by. A wide selection of craft beers, wines and whiskeys are available at the bar where you might also learn a cúpla focal (few words of Irish) from some of the locals.

Live Music

Live music is at the heart of Joe Watty’s, featuring traditional Irish music seven nights a week during the summer season.

Enjoy enchanting ballads and lively tunes in the evenings, followed by a diverse range of genres from Trad and Country to Folk and Blues later on. We take immense pride in being recognized by Lonely Planet as one of the Top 10 pubs in Ireland for Traditional Music. Come and experience the vibrant musical culture that defines us.

"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."
