The Drift Inn bar and restaurant Buncrana is one like no other, set against the windswept banks of the Lough Swilly it stands out as a main vocal point on entrance to the town. The Drift Inn has a history which many will agree compares to no other bars in Buncrana, once a functioning railway station up until the mid 1900's it has kept this theme very close to the heart of the bar with original ra

ilway timetables still to be seen on the walls of the premises and the water tower once used to fill steam trains standing tall at the rear of the premises. The drift Inn also has a strong connection with the sea as our name would suggest, the connection is carried through the bar and restaurant with our boat shaped bar the "St.Jude" standing strong over these many years having many drinks crossing her deck. The has a wide variety of areas for each patron to enjoy a drink or a bit to eat, the more relaxed harness room is an old favourite of many patrons with the open fire always blazing, the main bar boasts an open brick fire which ha been know the burn full trees in one day (depending on the staff working), then we have the more private "wee room" with a piano incase anyone is feeling musical after a few stout (which many think is the best pint of stout in the town).

We gave the person responsible a chance to fix this but they chose not to respond. We are giving them one last chance. We know who it was and their initials are C.R and not surprisingly you are wearing a Borussia Dortmund top on in your profile pic!!
There is 7 stickers stuck to the walls and can't be removed without peeling off the paint so do the right thing and drop us a message to sort it out or we'll just have to tag you🀷🏼🀷🏼

*****YOU WILL BE BARRED*****
All but one pool cue has been broken upstairs in the pool room costing roughly €250 to replace!!
Also every dart has had the flights stripped and broken.
We have CCTV in the room and in future anyone caught causing damage to any property will be barred for life!
We bought good quality stuff for the room and for people to think it's ok to snap and break them is not acceptable.
