A traditional Irish pub “in the middle of nowhere” was named the best gastro pub in Ireland - but what was it that impressed the critics so much?
The Rusty Mackerel, in south west Donegal, won the coveted title at the Irish Restaurant Awards on Monday.
The pub is located right next to the Slieve Liag Cliffs, one of the top tourist attractions in the county, and has built a reputation for itself based on its great seafood as well as live music and open fires.
