The town has several decent
places to eat
: for inexpensive breakfasts and lunches check out
Russwurm's
deli, 38 Ashe St.
An SA?gA?n
, 41 Wolfe Tone St, does good bar food.
Fionnuala's,
30 Ashe St, is an inexpensive and cosy Italian restaurant, while the nearby
Druid's Table
, 12 Ashe St, offers its customers an imaginative menu of seafood, lamb and vegetarian dishes (tel 023/33310; dinner from around A?12/a?¬15.24). Clonakilty is noted for its
black puddings
(a sausage made from the blood of pigs with a warm peppery flavour), and you may well find it dished up at breakfast in your hotel or B&B; if you're self-catering, and fancy giving it a go, it's well worth it - you'll be able to get some at any one of the local butchers.
Finally, there are plenty of excellent old
bars
: for music
De Barra's
on Pearse Street is probably the most popular place, with traditional or rock music more or less every night.
An Teach Beag
(behind
O'Donovan's Hotel
) has traditional music every night during July and August, and at weekends throughout the year.
O'Donovan's Hotel
hosts live bands every night during July and August - anything from rock 'n' roll and ceilidhs to ballroom dancing; look out too for their gigantic 130-year-old polyphon - a kind of proto-jukebox, which still works. Other useful information
