Mace Blackrock in Dundalk

02/08/2026: Newly refurbished. Great food, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The meals were well presented and tasty, and the overall experience was excellent. A little expensive for tapas but they are tasty.

28/07/2026: It was packed busy but good atmosphere even though booked wedding party in upstairs reception and booked Terrace so we could only sit upstairs for tapas- and I did make a booking, but obviously should try more than a wk in advance then? The highlight n surprise was despite the busy place (and even a rude customer- Heard him shout bluntly Service please, when there was clearly a queue system at the not even busy bar) We were blessed with nice servers. Two ladies were particularly diligent and on the ball and just got on with work. I thought it's hard to find good workers these days. No yapping or stalling or pausing for anythg! One friend thought she should get a raise! The greeter lady was also nice n welcoming. Male staff were normal but didn't shine. Even the bartender who was shouted at just did his job. My friend did have a delay on her 2separate dishes(which she wanted to eat together)so she had to say sthg but it was really busy, so understandable in a way, n yet then came out promptly as soon as she made it aware she was waiting on it. It was my first time there since years and since refurbishment and I totally recommend a visit.
