"If you have friends visiting from out of town, take them to the Burren and hope there’s a live performance. It may appear to be unassuming but it holds a special place in many locals’ hearts. If you’re here for live music or a show, head straight to the back room and you may catch local celebrities such as comedian Eugene Mirman performing his latest bits." - Celina Colby, Valerie Li Stack
