Ireland - O'Driscoll's Pub?

Hi, very silly, crazy American request. We are a family of 4 traveling to Ireland this year. As we are Driscoll's we are hoping to find an O'Driscoll's pub/bar/restaurant to visit and hopefully purchase a souvenir. We will be hugging the coast for the most part and I have already found via Google a few locations in County Cork(not surprisingly!). Thought I would post here and see if anyone has any recommendations. Thank you for your indulgence!

Have gone to Ireland twice in the last two years and did not see an O'Driscoll's Pub. It seems like there must be at least one. There is one though in Wilbraham, MA. Sorry. I hope you get to visit Kinsale on your trip. It's really nice and has great pubs.

These are the only bars according to the Irish yellow pages
www.goldenpages.ie. There are some O'Driscoll law firms etc. also

O'Driscolls Bar & B&B
Main st Rathcormac Co. Cork


O'Driscolls Sea Side Bar
Strand rd Bray Co. Wicklow

and there appears to be no "Driscolls".

Having said that - not every small business appears in the Golden Pages

In Skibbereen, on Main Street, is O'Driscoll's Hi Style, which I THINK is a pub, but may just be an eating establishment. No web or email address, though to check and the phone number listed (21466)seems to contain far too few digits to be good.

There is also an O'Driscoll's Super Store on the outskirts of Cork (Douglas area), near the Ballenlough Scout Camp.

The owner of Bushes Bar, in Baltimore, Co. Cork, is MARRIED to an O'Driscoll...

They are co-hosts of the annual O'Driscoll Clan Gathering, held in Baltimore every June. We attended part of the festivities last June. It's well worth it.

Hi, Thank you for your replies. We will try to look for as many as we can while we are there. We do plan on visiting Baltimore - wish we were going in June!

If you are looking for O'Driscolls go to Skibbereen and Cape Clear Island. The weather was not favorable for a trip to the island when I was there. I stayed just outside Skibbereen at The Palms B&B owned by O'Driscolls. Do you know the O'Driscoll Clan has an annual gathering of the clan in June (I think)? Do a goodle search and you will find it.
