Oarsman in Carrick-on-shannon

The food was wonderful, really tasty and well presented. (the pork bite starter was a bit boring in comparison to all the other wonderful dishes, but well cooked and balanced). The atmosphere was great, we were close to the guitar player but the music wasn't intrusive at all, we enjoyed it. The staff were all friendly, efficient and had a good sense of humour. Love that they have a list of their staff members and suppliers in the menu. Great selection of local alcohol too.

Absolutely fantastic. We visit this gem on the banks for the Shannon 5-6 times each year. One word - consistent. Consistently great food. Consistently great staff. Consistently great ambience. They have won local awards, Provincial awards and it National awards - all thoroughly deserved. One of the best gastropubs in Ireland. On our most recent visit we had the fish tacos, featherblade of beef, seafood chowder, tiramisu with fruit compote and meringue. An excellent wine menu. Wonderful service. And always child friendly. Toilets immaculate. Lovely to see regulars joking with the staff. Log fires. Warm lighting. Warm smiles.

Class food and great service highly recommended

My second time there to eat. Very friendly and relaxed. Good food, pleasant and attentive staff, genuine atmosphere, no airs or graces. Great for a good meal if travelling or doing business in Carrick.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Food was very nice, burger was one of the nicest I’ve had, staff were very polite and friendly and the atmosphere was lovely, I also never liked treacle bread until I tried it here

OMG! I've lived here 5 years. Why haven't I seen this gem?? We walked in and there was live music (a classical guitarist). I would go back just for that! Then came the starters. Mwah!! If go back just for that. Then came the main course ... I could go on. DEFINITELY worth multiple visits

Had a fabulous lunch here this week. Chicken Rigatoni was delicious. Ambient, comfortable and great service.

Very enjoyable! To my recollection the best pub food I’ve ever had (UK and Ireland). Chowder was out of the ordinary. Steak was perfect!Service was great. Good selection of beers. Relaxing vibe. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Great place. I love their food, the service is great. I also love the music.
