The Tavern Bar & Restaurant in Westport

Our small wedding at The Tavern was nothing short of perfection. I’d recommend this venue to anyone seeking an elevated tavern experience in an incredible, scenic location in the west of Ireland. Our guests still rave to us about the food! The lamb, the sea bass, the stuffed chicken, the pistachio cheesecake, and everything that graced our table was flawless. Several guests told us it was the best wedding meal they had ever had! I recommend requesting the olive tapenade. The manager was an absolute dream to work with and essentially worked as our wedding coordinator for the day. She went above and beyond in every way, from decorating the room (we hadn’t planned on adding anything!) to coordinating our band. I didn’t doubt for a moment that she’d take care of everything. We opted to have our meal in the upstairs dining room (perfect for a party of 40–50 people) and our band in the pub downstairs after dinner. This was perfect for us, as it allowed for a seamless transition from dinner to music and dancing. Our guests were able to relax at the bar or a table right next to the dancing area, which allowed for dancers or mingle-at-table types to effortlessly interact with one another—something that’s often missed at other weddings! And if you’re looking for an impressive view, you can’t get much better than the drive out to The Tavern. Croagh Patrick towers above Clew Bay, providing plenty of photo opportunities en route to the venue. At the restaurant itself, there’s a lovely outdoor seating area with views of the bay, and the interiors are a lovely mix of dark woods with light walls—pub-style, but bright enough for your wedding day! And a pink pub? Can you get any cuter than that? Overall it was a 10/10 experience and our dream wedding day. Our only regret is we can’t do it all again.

Very nice with very attentive and friendly staff.

Pretty much always Good food and service. Good selection and very reasonable.

Great pint,and a beautiful chowder.

We ate here the other evening. Rang ahead to ensure a table as its always busy. We were seated straight away and our orders taken promptly. The girl that served us was very friendly and welcoming. Service was very good and didn't have to wait long for our food , when it arrived it was excellent. I ordered the tavern smashed burger. It was absolutely delicious. Plenty of fries and really tasty . Our waitress came and asked if everything was ok which it was . Couldn't praise it enough. When you visit the tavern make sure you're hungry as there was no scrimping on the food. Will be back .

We went twice and both times were amazing. It's a very authentic and welcoming place, and we all loved the food.

It was a lovely pub experience the food was quick and it was fast definitely recommend this place if you're in the westport/mayo area

Had my birthday meal at the Tavern last night. Absolutely one of the best meals I've ever had. My friend and I had the Jacobs Ladder. Short rib of beef with crispy shallots and creamy kale mash. My husband had steak and my friends husband had beef featherblade. All meals were superbly cooked, well presented and totally delicious. The staff were friendly, efficient, not pushy and had a smile for everyone. The desserts were also delicious and I had the added bonus of two candles and a chorus of happy birthday. It was an extremely enjoyable evening from start to finish and a fantastic end to my birthday day.

Class is the Tavern unreal food and class staff 💜🎉🎉

Food was great, the climb is a local joke. My 74year old mother and I climbed it easily.
