It dates back to 1892 and, although its popularity with visitors in summer means that it can be very busy, this atmospheric venue serves tasty fare and remains very much itself in the hands of current owner Tony Donegan and his team.


Food is hearty and wholesome, with an emphasis on fish and seafood from nearby Killybegs (including freshly battered goujons of fish on the children's menu), but also offering a balanced choice of popular meat, poultry and vegetarian options.  Rusty's Creamy Seafood Chowder with homemade bread makes a satisfying quick bite, for example, and a steak, or steak sandwich, can be upgraded to surf-n'turf with prawns added for a small supplement.


Suppliers - including craft beers from Ballyshannon and Kinnegar, and locally distilled ‘Silkie’ Irish Whiskey and An Dúlamán Maritime Gin - are proudly credited and rmusic nights with traditional Irish dancing additional are regularly held.
