Other Musical Entertainment in Clifden Town
Clifden has a vibrant music scene during Clifden Arts Festival. There are many gigs and sessions taking place all around the town, far too numerous for us to include in the main programme.
MULLARKEY’S BAR AT FOYLE’S HOTEL
Mullarkey’s Bar is one of Clifden’s premier music venues regularly featuring national and international music acts. Located within Foyle’s Hotel but is open to the public (the main entrance for the bar is on Church Hill). Mullarkey’s Bar offers an interesting blend of hotel guests and local characters and is renowned for its Thursday night open-mic sessions called Baskethouse, impromptu gigs and all-around good craic.
