We were a group of seven dining here and, despite it being his first day, our server was absolutely fantastic. He was genuinely lovely, friendly, attentive and did everything he could to look after us. Given the circumstances, he handled himself really well and deserves a lot of credit.
That said, we did feel it was unfair that someone on their very first day was left to deal with a busy restaurant and a large table, as well as cover the bar & drinks under so much pressure, apparently without anyone properly supervising or supporting him. This isn’t a criticism of the server at all, quite the opposite. He did a great job despite being put in a very difficult position.
Hopefully the management can take this as constructive feedback, because leaving a new member of staff to fend for themselves on a busy first shift doesn’t reflect particularly well on the restaurant’s training or quality standards.
Overall, our server was excellent and couldn’t have been nicer. We just hope he’s given the support and training he deserves going forward.

We were passing through and stopped at this lovely pub. The service was very friendly, the food was delicious and arrived quickly. They even had non-alcoholic Guinness. Thank you so much! It made my day.

Great little place for a tasty Irish breakfast. You can get other food and drinks there, but we came for breakfast and it was great. Street parking was easy, too.

Excellent Service & Food and Price very reasonable.
Only thing. Tipped the waitress a very well deserved 10 %. She appeared surprised. Must be miserable shower of tippers around Boyle
Later Edit: But perhaps it was the size , maybe she expected a much larger tip. She certainly deserved it.

If you're looking for an authentic Irish pub, An Craoibhín is the perfect place. This small, cozy pub exudes the charm of a classic village pub with a relaxed and informal atmosphere where you'll immediately feel at home.
The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and served in generous portions. The friendly and attentive service made the visit absolutely perfect.

A restaurant I found on the road, but a great find. It felt like being at someone's home, with good food and a warm welcome. No wonder you find older people there to eat...
