In-Depth Information
promontory with cliffs on three sides, its defenders would have held out behind drystone
ramparts, facing the island's interior attackers. Watch your step on the uneven ground, be
ready to course-correct as you go, and chances are you'll have this windswept ruin all to
yourself.
Pub Music
Kilronan'spubsoffer music sporadically onsummer nights. Nothing is dependably sched-
uled, so ask at your B&B or look for posted notices on the front of the Spar supermarket
or post office.
Joe Watty's Pub,
on the high road 100 yards past the post office, is your
best bet, with good Irish folk music tentatively set for Wednesdays and weekends. The
more central
Joe Mac's Pub
(next to the hostel) and the
American Bar
(next to the high
cross at the base of the high road) are also possibilities.
Dancing
The
Halla Ronain community center
becomes a dance hall on a few Saturday nights,
when from midnight to 2:00 in the morning, locals have a
ceilidh
(KAY-lee), the Irish
equivalent of a hoedown. Ask at the TI to see if one is scheduled during your stay.
