Breen's Lobster Bar in Castletownbere

Good food, pity the service was so unfriendly and abrupt.

Excellent food and friendly staff! We had dinner at Breens Lobster on a Saturday night. The restaurant is beautiful and located near the harbor. We ordered a fish pie and a crab gratin, and everything was excellent 👌🏻 The portions were generous and the food was high quality. The servers were pleasant. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Lovely place. We had the crab gratin, brie and local cheese starters and cajun calamari as a main. The portion sizes are perfect. The sea food was very fresh and delicious. And special thanks to Mary for being great at what she does. Highly recommend 😊

I had supper twice at Breens in mid-September 2025 and enjoyed both meals thoroughly. Though lord knows I don't need those extra calories, each meal I went with an appetizer, main and desert. The real highlight was the pan seared lemon sole with white wine, lemon and dill sauce I had as a main course. I can't remember ever having a better meal of fish (and I've eaten a LOT of fish!). The desserts and apples were also two thumbs up. The service was also first class - very friedly folks but also quick and helpful without being intrusive and bothersome. While there were a lot of tourists there, there were obviously many locals and regulars there, too, which is a great sign. If you are in Castletownbere and looking for delicious seafood in a friendly atmosphere with fantastic service then give Breens a go - you won't be disappointed!!

Very delicious food, even after 8:30 p.m. Highly recommended!

This is where you want to eat in Castletown-bearhaven! My meal was easily the best calamari I've had. The Cajun spices were subtle and a perfect compliment to the unmistakably fresh tasting calamari. A side salad is rarely something to write home about (difficult to eat, uninspired) but this one deserve a mention. It was tasty, appropriately dressed and a great variety of leaves and fruit. And the bite of my partner's lemon sole that I got was tremendous too

A great restaurant where you can enjoy delicious food. For a fish restaurant, I'd expect you to be able to eat fresh fish instead of fried. The service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The Irish coffee was delicious.

Delicious food, friendly service, and a very cozy atmosphere! Thank you, we'd love to come back.

We arrived unexpectedly, and the staff tried to find a solution for us. We waited 10 minutes at the counter with a Guinness, and then we got a table. Delicious crab gratin and ultra-fresh fish and chips. Carrot cake and an Irish coffee for dessert. The only downside: they didn't accept credit cards.

This was one of the best meals we had in Ireland during our two weeks. The fish pie was delicious and the fried calamari EXTRAORDINARY!! It’s a small place so plan accordingly. But don’t miss it.
