The Pins Gastro Bar in Bearna

07/07/2025: Really enjoyed our meal here. The food was excellent, I tasted how fresh the crab option for the starter was and the lamb and the fish options were so tasty. Only thing I might consider improving is the dessert options, they weren't as tasty in comparison to the rest of the meal unfortunately.

09/06/2025: Lovely and creative Irish dishes abound at Blackthorn. We dined on the stunning seafood options - excellent and elevated Fish and Chips with not to miss sides (gasp - the potato terrine - so delicious), delicate and delicious gambas, and a scallop starter that wowed. Unique wine offerings (a Greek white was summer in a glass) served in a statuesque Zwiesel glass and dessert that left us perfectly satiated on a chocolate cloud of happy. And the bread! Pillows of pull apart rolls! We also were enamored of the ceramic table wear and would have bought an entire set were it on offer. We had been dining out all weekend and by Sunday wanted something lighter but still culinarily creative - this was a perfect solution! Highly recommend!
