Fergusons Bar in

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – A Hidden Gem on the Cooley Peninsula! Ferguson’s Bar & Bistro in Gyles Quay is an absolute must-visit. Whether you’re calling in for a meal, drinks, or an evening of entertainment, it never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and made with quality ingredients. Every meal we’ve had has been exceptional. A special mention has to go to Edelle, who is simply the best waitress. She is always so warm, friendly, attentive, and nothing is ever too much trouble. She goes above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable and is a real credit to the team. If you’re a cocktail lover, you have to try the frozen coconut martinis. Ruari makes the best we’ve ever tasted—perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously moreish! The atmosphere is fantastic too. Friday night bingo is great fun with plenty of laughs, and the live music creates such a brilliant buzz, making it the perfect place to spend an evening with family or friends. Ferguson’s has it all: fantastic food, amazing cocktails, first-class service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We always leave looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended! 🍸🍽️🎶

Great place, great food and the Guinness was even better

I cannot say enough good things about Ferguson's. We were staying in the area, got pizzas to take away the first night. We liked it so much we returned the following night to sit in and eat. When we arrived they were very, very busy as they were hosting a bingo night and it was also a bank holiday weekend. They informed us before we sat down that it would be a 40 minute wait to get food - that was perfect for us (and also an accurate estimation). Staff were very pleasant and attentive, despite the fact that they were clearly under pressure with the volume of people that were arriving. And even though we were seated outside, we were still checked on regularly to see if there was anything we needed. While we waited for our food we watched an interaction unfold involving 2 ladies and the staff. The two women were very clearly intoxicated and were being quite rude. Several members of staff came out to their table to try to passify them, but they were being very difficult. Despite the two ladies giving smart and disrespectful remarks to the relatively young members of staff, the staff were still were very, very polite and respectful in dealing with them. I was genuinely impressed with their ability to deal with such difficult patrons. A female supervisor came out (lovely lady, I didn't get her name but she had long dark hair in a ponytail). The patience she displayed was incredible. From watching, I really got the impression that the 2 intoxicated female customers were attempting to avoid having to pay for the meal and drinks that they had. They were pretending that they didn't know how to use their phones or bank cards, and were still being quite rude, sarcastic and disrespectful. The supervisor was polite, she showed them repeatedly how to use their phones, and never at any point showed even the slightest bit of annoyance or irritation with them (this supervisor had the patience of a saint!!). It was fascinating to witness, because I was only watching it, and I was so appalled at the behaviour of these 2 ladies that I think I would have told them to cop on, or feck off, after about 30 seconds of having to listen to them. The food was amazing, but the staff makes the place even better. Someone please give these staff a night out or something, they are so good at what they do. And other restaurants should take their staff here, to train them as to what good waiting and hospitality staff should aspire to be like. Will 100% be back.

Visited here whilst travelling round Ireland from the UK, the place is lovely! It’s a little Irish pub at the side of a caravan park, the night I went it had great atmosphere with live music (amazing singers), staff were rushed off their feet bless time ,as it was so busy the food was a let down, they warned us it will he a hour for Food, we thought no bother let’s drink… took 40 mins the drinks we ordered, my mouth was lot a dry flip flop…. We ordered new drinks at the bar only for the other drinks to arrive, happy days we thought….let’s drink 🍻 . hour and a half later…. Half the starters came, missing sides, sauces, cutlery and part of my order…, told the staff what was missing 4 times…..order a garlic bread, partners had chicken wings? was nice but both cold, waited another half hr for a curry, again was stone cold, as were my partners, kept asking to speak to someone but they were so busy, we gave up, at the end the start I was missing arrived, with no dip we’d been waiting forit was simply many people too for the amount staff, we gave up by this point, we asked for the bill but I had go to the till in the end even getting that was a challenge, I’d go back…. But not on a weekend, we arrived at -about 8pm so was late to be fair, I’d love to try their food when it’s all hot and accounted tor! avoid the weekend if you want to have a decent meal! Parking only difficult on weekends when it’s busy what I saw coming out the kitchen looked amazing tho!

Have visited twice in the last week first a Sunday. We thought our food was beautiful. Good creamy mash with chicken strips topped with Tabasco onions pepper sauce with a side of mixed veg. 10/10 for food on this occasion. Service is friendly and attentive although slightly understaffed. I did feel for the two ladies serving us as they had a lot of running about and were under pressure. Second visit not so good chicken wings are not it !! feels like they’ve been plucked from a cooked chicken and refried to heat and tossed in barbecue sauce. Enjoyed first two mushrooms and then found them overpowered with grease from batter used to coat mushrooms. Restaurant started filling up with guest’s and the heat was unbearable we had to leave. Mixed feelings on rather we would return seems to be a hit or miss. Appreciate the two ladies serving us Thank you.

Only a pizza truck available on Mondays. Great pizza, though!

Such a lovely place to go for a nice dinner. From the food to the service everything was immaculate. Very clean aswell and a very welcoming space.

Food was great, very fresh fish and the road was also great. I like the pizza but its very thin. Staff are amazing.

Overall food was good. Meat in burger was fairly tasteless and fish Tacos tortillas were a bit dry but the pizza and fish and chips were both excellent.

Lovely, cozy place with kind and helpful staff. Will be number 1 place to go. 🥰
