Nightlife Bar / Club
Easily accessible from both Ballybofey and Donegal Town, Biddy’s O’Barnes is located in the foothills of the Blue Stack Mountains and on the banks of the Lowerymore River. Originally an inn from the 18th century, this popular pub remains a resting point for modern travelers exploring the area. Drop in for some traditional pub grub and drinks--the roadside venue is hard to miss, and will be even harder to leave when you make a few local friends. The pub is also available for private stag/hen parties. Work out when and for how long to visit Biddy’s O’Barnes and other Donegal Town attractions using our handy Donegal Town tour planner.
