Spider O'Brien's in New ross

12/10/2025: A chalk and cheese experience! I visited this hotel over 2 years ago for an event in the area and I swore I would never return. That time the service was awful, staff would not look at you and the food terrible, well below par, the bar area grubby and unloved….. fast forward to last week when left with no other choice but to meet a friend there and what a surprise I got. The entrance was welcoming from the off, a roaring fire on a miserable night. A completely revamped bar area that was clean and looked after. My waitresses were friendly and efficient and my food was amazing. I am not often blown away, but kudos to this business for the complete turnaround. I now would have no hesitation returning when in the area.

12/10/2025: Excellent accomodations and the food is delicious too. Great location and easy to walk to center town.
