The Lazy River Café in Carlow

14/12/2025: was in Carlow for a car service & looking for a cafe for a fry-up & The Clink was recommended by a local. Think this is a hotel but was able to walk in & order. Varied menu options, great coffee & service. Highly Recommend

25/11/2025: Aidan was a fantastic bartender and mixologist, possibly the best I’ve experienced in a bar in Ireland! He was very knowledgeable and put a huge amount of thought into each ingredient added to our drinks, making swaps to some traditional cocktails to make them better suited to our tastes based off some of the likes and dislikes we shared with him. He even makes his own vanilla syrup from vanilla bean pods- an extra step which really shows the passion and care he has for his craft and his customers. While we were there he was also very attentive as to if we were having an enjoyable night and if the cocktails were as we wanted them. If I wanted quality cocktails and expert service in Carlow, Aidan definitely is who I’d go to. 10/10 would recommend!
