We had a good lunch here and would stop on again if there weren’t so many good restaurants in Dingle. The minestrone was good, and so was the chowder, though we thought the chowder at The Chowder Café was even better, as good as any we’ve had. Brown bread was better than average, as was the sandwich.

Note: all my recent vacation in Ireland Unilocal reviews will have the same 1^st paragraph preamble, for just the review itself skip to the 2^nd paragraph.
On a whirlwind 2 week vacation to Ireland, the girlfriend & I tried to see & experience absolutely as much of this incredible land as we could. We did not accomplish every last activity we wished we could have on our rather ambitious itinerary. Nonetheless, we did discover a land of numerous stunning & magical wonders. We did see a land of unending natural beauty. We did learn of a land with a monumentally long history of trials, tragedies & triumphs. We did get to meet many kind, humorous, warm & generous people. Our vacation to Ireland was just 2 weeks, but that was time enough to know this is a land easy to love & a land to be sorely missed.
The girlfriend & I spent a nice long day driving around & exploring the Dingle Peninsula. Around lunchtime, we figured we’d stop in the town of Dingle itself, walk around a little to check out the town & find a place to grab a bite to eat. On a quiet street near the back side of town, we noticed a simple looking little pub & thought we’d give it a go.
Adams Pub was indeed small & simple with dark wood furnishings throughout. We sat at the bar & ordered a couple pints of Guinness, a Seafood Chowder each & split a Side Salad. The bartender was courteous but aloof. Our food took a little while which gave us time for some people watching with our pints of Guinness. When the food arrived, we were in for a shock.
The Seafood Chowder was the best both of us could remember having & possibly the best ever. We would have seafood chowders again during our time in Ireland, but this was the best of the entire trip. Lots of big chunks of fresh fish & plenty of mussels all in a delicate but flavor-​packed chowder. Yum, yum, yum. The side salad was OK. I think the girlfriend liked it more than I did. The ingredients were fresh, but the dressing didn’t quite do it for me.
Driving all over the Dingle Peninsula, we saw beautiful countryside everywhere & magnificent seaside vistas. The perfect complement to such a wonderful day was the unexpected discovery of an incredibly yummy Seafood Chowder in a small pub in Dingle.
