Michelle’s Bakery & Cafe in Ballina

05/05/2026: I love this bar, I've been here for work for a month now, but I can recommend it to anyone who likes peace and quiet, live music, nice staff, meeting great people and making new friends. You're definitely welcome here. The owner Padraig is a great guy and very friendly and helpful, also great staff, I recommend it above all because I am the type of person who is picky and if I don't like it I won't come anymore, but here I am I've been in Hoogans Bar for a month now and thank you for a great month spent here in this bar after work. I always relax here when I come here and a big plus is that they don't care about clothes and they treat the worker the same as everyone else.An ordinary person, I take my hat off to this, once again Hoogens bar, thank you for the nice month I was able to spend here for My work

29/03/2026: We had many a great night here when visiting town with family. It became our HQ for the weekend essentially. The bar has a great atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We got to see some great live music and meet friendly locals too. The drinks list is extensive and the cocktails are very good quality, no sugary rubbish.
