Bundoran's pub scene is lively, especially at weekends and throughout summer when the town fills with surfers and holiday visitors from Northern Ireland. The music tradition is strong — traditional sessions happen in several pubs through the week — and the atmosphere is unpretentious and friendly.
The Main Street has most of the pubs and cafes. Many cater to the surf crowd with early opening for coffee and late nights after the waves. Several pubs offer live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
