About
Nestled in the heart of Clifden, The Lamplight is a unique wine shop and bar, thoughtfully curated to create an inviting and ever-evolving wine experience. Our wines are handpicked by our in-house sommelier, Ivan, who collaborates with rising winemakers to bring you bottles that capture the mood of the moment, enhance your meals, and invite discovery.
Every wine on our shelves is organic, with a selection that ranges from bold new grape varieties and modern styles to timeless classics—there’s always something new to explore.
Join us for wine by the glass, curated group tastings, or unwind with one of our cheese and charcuterie boards in the relaxed setting of the wine shop.
Looking ahead, our award-winning small plates restaurant will be reopening next year—bringing back the vibrant flavours and thoughtful pairings our guests love.
The Lamplight also offers boutique accommodation, with 11 charming guest rooms and a private apartment—perfect for a restful stay in the heart of Connemara.
Mission
At The Lamplight, our mission is to celebrate the best of our region and beyond—through thoughtfully sourced food and wine that reflect a deep respect for nature, craft, and community.
We work closely with local farmers, growers, and fishermen who share our commitment to sustainability and quality. Just as our wines are organic and carefully chosen from passionate winemakers, our food is rooted in seasonality and sourced with intention.
From the land to the sea, from vine to table—every element we serve is part of a story. A story of connection, of care, and of a slower, more meaningful way to eat, drink, and live.
