Today we bring you the first of two episodes from Leo's Tavern - A Donegal Good Food Tavern.
Tabhairne Leo (Leo’s Tavern) is situated in North West, Ireland in the beautiful and picturesque County Donegal, in the village of Meenaleck.
Situated along the Wild Atlantic Way, between the popular tourist destination of Mount Errigal and the Atlantic Ocean, Leos Tavern is renowned for its music being the family home of world famous musical talents Enya, Clannad Irish Band and Moya Brennan - First Lady of Celtic Music.
Tabhairne Leo was originally opened by Leo Brennan and his wife Maire (Baba) in 1968 as an entertainment venue to enjoy live music. Now under the proprietorship of youngest son Bartley and following a complete refurbishment of the original Leo’s, he has elevated the premises to be the premier destination Entertainment Bar Restaurant in the North West of Ireland.
The walls are adorned with Gold and Platinum disks, memorabilia and numerous photos of the family with world famous musical faces.
There’s always something going on at Leos Tavern so drop in for some lovely food and a great nights entertainment. You never know who might be there. Leo’s son, Bartley Brennan tells us the full story behind the music.
To celebrate our 50th episode tomorrow, we are bringing you a very special ediction full of some of the top up and coming musical talent Donegal has to offer. It was recorded at Clubeo. Clubbeo is a regular monthly night for emerging and enthusiastic singers, songwriters, musicians and bands to perform and showcase their music in an encouraging, vibrant and entertaining environment.

I am so proud of the Brennan family and what they have done for Donegal, their father Leo and the Slieve Foy band played at my parents wedding in 1967.

Loved watching this! I’ll be going to Leo’s tavern in September 2024. I’ll be staying in Meenaleck for 4 days. So looking forward to it. My father came from county Donegal.

It was unexpected to hear Enya's Boadicea track at the end of Stephen King's Sleepwalkers movie. I've yet to see Harry's Game, but I know the track from Clannad. Brennan family are bursting with talent.
