Pots Pub Quiz at Pot Duggans, Ennistymon

What to Expect

Pot Duggans is a historic pub, venue and restaurant on New Road in Ennistymon, and the Pots Pub Quiz is its free-entry Friday night fixture. The venue lists it at 9pm on Friday nights, with dates published on its What’s On page rather than running every single week, so it is worth checking the listing before setting out. Entry is free, which makes it one of the cheapest nights out in north Clare and one of the few late-evening events in the area that does not need a ticket booked in advance.

The quiz sits inside a wider entertainment programme at the pub that also takes in bingo, karaoke and darts, plus ticketed themed quizzes, trad sessions and live gigs on other nights. Because Pot Duggans is a working kitchen as well as a bar, teams tend to arrive earlier in the evening and eat before the quiz starts. Food service runs to 9pm midweek and 9.30pm at weekends, and there is a separate pizza collection hatch open from 3pm to 9pm Wednesday to Sunday.

Getting There

Ennistymon sits at the meeting of the N85 and N67 in north Clare, roughly 26km north-west of Ennis and about 3km inland from Lahinch. Pot Duggans is on New Road, close to the top of the town, with on-street parking nearby and further public parking in the town centre. Bus Eireann route 350 between Ennis, Lahinch, Doolin and Galway stops in Ennistymon, though late evening services are limited, so a taxi or lift home is the usual arrangement.
