Mannions Bar in Clifden

I’ll start by saying the waitress suggested the early bird special. It was 8 o’clock, wasn’t that early but she said they still offered it. At the end of the meal there was some confusion over what the early bird special included as we thought it was one of the listed starters, one of the listed entrees, and any of the menu desserts. So that is what we ordered and we were never questioned by the waitress for clarification even after pointing to the special page. But if you read the menu closely, it’s either a starter and an entrée or an entrée and a dessert. Small print on the top of the menu and they’re all listed on the same page on the menu leads one to thinking there’s actually a special price. The reality is there is no special price. The food was good. The mussels were local and good with a large quantity. The seafood chowder was good, but a little thin. The soup of the day was potato and celery. Initially, I thought restaurant was good and a good value, but after the misunderstanding I was not as impressed.

Nice place, with very pleasant staff.

The waitresses are lovely and the food is delicious. Highly recommended for the traditional Irish Stew – a real treat!

had the best fish and chips of my life here

Went here for lunch- the food was very delicious and the service excellent - you walk out with enough to eat which is a bonus. They most likely will ask for gratuity on the invoice

Great place. I've been going to Clifden since I was a child and never been in before. We had a really great meal.

It is conveniently placed in front of the bus stop, so it was easy to eat there while waiting for the bus. We had the penne pasta with cream sauce and mushroom and the steak sandwich. Portion size is generous and food is really good.

An excellent restaurant in the heart of Clifden. Delicious food served by warm, friendly people. Highly recommended for starters, main courses, and desserts alike.

I cannot understand why more people are not eating here tonight! The food and service are just brilliant...we had steaks perfectly cooked and the service was great

Excellent fillet steak. Cooked to perfection. But like all things these days expensive.
