I had the pleasure of dining at this gastro pub during my stay in Cong and it genuinely exceeded expectations.
The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between cosy and refined. It feels authentically Irish without trying too hard, with a warm and welcoming energy that makes you want to settle in and stay a while, especially welcome on a rainy evening.
The food was the real highlight. Thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, and most importantly, full of flavor. You can tell there's real care in the kitchen, with quality ingredients and a menu that elevates classic dishes without over complicating them.
Service was equally impressive, attentive without being intrusive, friendly without being forced. The staff clearly take pride in what they do and it shows.
All in all, this is exactly what you hope to find in a gastro pub but rarely do. If you are in Cong do not over think it. Just go.

I arrived very hungry and late, and spontaneously decided on the Dish of the Day – perfect! I was almost surprised to receive such a juicy, delicious salmon steak on couscous with excellent vegetables and roasted potatoes. Great beer recommendation: Kilkenny Red Ale...
Thank you!

Fabulous pub, great atmosphere and excellent food, staff were attentive and efficient.
They have done a great refurb to obtain similar bar setting from The Quiet Man.

If you're a fan of the Quiet Man, this is a must visit as it is the original bar from the movie. Lots of memorabilia inside. 45 minute drive from Galway. Absolutely worth the trip! The food was delicious, pints were perfect, and the staff was absolutely amazing. Brought back lots of childhood memories watching the movie and the Quiet Man statue is just outside the bar.

This place stands up to its reputation! Adorable and famous pub in Cong. Had the chicken burger and a pint. The chicken was totally homemade —soaked in buttermilk and fried. Delicious!! Highly recommend lunch here if you’re in the area

A fantastic pub with hospitable and knowledge staff. Worth a visit to the upstairs room with a replica of the Quiet Man cottage.
Food was delicious. Well worth a visit.
