The Rusty Mackerel

Overview

Delving into a traditional pub is essential when rambling across Ireland. In County Donegal, the finest spot is The Rusty Mackerel.

The ale, ceol (music) and craic flow freely, but don't assume the food menu is an afterthought.

You'll find beef burgers, buttermilk fried chicken, seafood chowder and more — all perfect for feasting on as you look across the dramatic Slieve League (Sliabh Liag) Cliffs, among the highest and most dramatic sea cliffs in Europe.
