Liam O'Riains in Ballina

21/02/2026: Stopped into Goosers and it’s an absolute gem of a little bar/restaurant. Ambience: We grabbed a seat in the bar area beside the fire — perfect spot for settling in with a few Guinness. On a wet winter’s night, you honestly couldn’t design a better setting. It has that proper cosy Irish pub feel: warm lighting, great buzz, and a relaxed energy that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Service: Top notch from start to finish. Food: Outstanding. The ribeye steak was genuinely epic — cooked perfectly and so tender it cut like butter. Full of flavour and done exactly right. The chips were beautifully crispy, and the peppercorn sauce tied it all together — rich, punchy and seriously tasty. A proper 10/10 dish. Even the Guinness were spot on — creamy and fresh. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how good a simple pub experience can be when it’s done properly. Can’t wait until I’m passing through again — it’s absolutely a must-stop spot.
