Downeys Bar in Dungarvan

27/04/2026: Ate there once with a group and it was lovely so booked again for me and my boyfriend. A totally different experience, staff were ok but much more welcoming to other tables as another reviewer said. The bistro was very cold, other diners were putting coats on. Our starters were fine, nothing exceptional; Caesar salad and bruschetta. Got 2 steaks for main, smothered in red wine jus which overpowered all flavour and a pathetic baked onion on the side, our chips never came despite me asking our waiter twice. Left hungry and so disappointed. A waste of €110

06/04/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Birthday Save at The Old Bank! I can’t thank the team at The Old Bank enough. I realized upon arrival that my booking for seven people hadn't gone through, and the restaurant was completely full. Instead of turning us away, the staff went above and beyond to quickly organize a private room for us so we could celebrate my dad’s birthday. * Service: Truly exceptional and incredibly accommodating. * Food: Absolutely delicious—every plate was a hit. They turned a stressful mistake into a perfect evening. High-class hospitality at its finest!
