What is Lisdoonvarna ???
To quote Brian O’Neill of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette,
Lisdoonvarna is Gaelic for, “hard to pronounce.” Actually,
Lisdoonvarna is a spa town in County Clare, Ireland, famous
for its annual matchmaking festival. The Matchmakers of
old were the “dealers” who knew the farmers who had eligible
sons and daughters all around the countryside of Ireland.
they invited the “eligible” lads and lassies to attend the festival
and collected a generous dowry if they were successful in
making a match.
Well, the tradition is somewhat different at Mullaney’s
Harp & Fiddle. Here we celebrate the fact that because
of the comfortable and friendly atmosphere that the Pub
offers, people can come in, have a pint, relax and be themselves.
Over its 15 year history, it’s become enchanted, as over 70
couples have met at the Harp & Fiddle and “lived happily
ever after.” Our Lisdoonvarna festival is meant to be fun.
Our “matchmakers” will assist you in “making a match,” if you
choose. just walk up to one of the matchmakers and let
them know who you “fancy,” and they would be happy to
help you see if you can find, “Love at Lisdoonvarna!”
“Matches are made at Mullaney’s!”
