The Anchor Bar in Youghal

06/09/2026: Had Sunday lunch here under the new owners, the Finn's, and it was delicious. 6 of us went out, had lobster, lamb, haddock and chicken and all meals were really tasty and substantial. Special mention to the new potatoes that came with my lobster. We also had desserts and special mention to the baked Alaska which was a raspberry sorbet with Tunisian orange cake in a meringue. Lovely staff and service. Will very happily be back

31/07/2026: A bit of a disappointment. The lobster was a very small portion. In looking at the photos on Google prior, we were let down. I do know new management has recently taken over. €13 for a glass of Riesling and I wasn’t even given a wine list. Initially ordered Sauvignon Blanc and was told they were out. My partner ordered two portions of the lobster as we saw the previous ones that came out. After a long wait it came out and was stone cold. We sent it back because at the price point it could at least be hot! The mussels were actually nice and flavorful, just a tad salty. We received bread as we were halfway through our mussels and the butter about 7 mins later. We visited on a Wednesday evening. For the price point, small portions and slow service I’d skip this restaurant. If these things were fixed then it would be worth it.
