Powers Thatch Bar & Restaurant in Oughterard

Excellent food and great service

Real genuine hospitality and exceptional quality 💛

Great Food. Great Staff. Great Atmosphere. A REALLY FANTASTIC PUB.

This excellent spot was recommended by our B&B in Roundstone as the perfect spot for nourishment and to break our journey from Dublin. Powers certainly didn't disappoint. It looks like a tiny thatch cottage from the front yet opens up to be a rather vast dining room once you cross the threshold. We opted to sit at the bar that allowed us converse with the great team serving the room. The mussels starter we shared was copious and delicious, possibly the best I have ever eaten and that says a lot coming from a former resident of Brussels. I ordered the traditional irish beef stew. It was piping hot and hearty served with mashed potato and was excellent. Only the highly recommended seafood chowder disappointed somewhat as it was too smoked fish forward, overly thick and seemed to lack a variety of fish and seafood. The portion was big but made for a monotonous eat.

I had the supreme chicken and it was excellent. My wife had the chowder and a side salad and she also lived it. Very cute restaurant and bar.

We had to wait a little for a table, but it was definitely worth it! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Great experience!

Very good service. Sound staff. Good grub. More power!

Great Irish food with friendly staff!

Wow…what a night. The staff trip over themselves to serve you. Food was excellent and piping hot. Chowder was the best I’ve ever had!!! Music started early and went on and on. I wish we were staying in town for a week just to go back every night!!!!!

Great service nice food , nice atmosphere
