The Western Strands Bar, Restaurant & Guesthouse in Béal an mhuirthead

They work hard in The Western Strand ~ We wern't guests in the hotel so we came in 3 minutes before close (8:30pm kitchen closed that Thursday) and there was no issue being seated and menued (shows great kitchen discipline, although try not to do what we did, spare the chef)! They do an open mic on Thursdays which sounded great and added fantastic atmosphere. The food was delicious and the waitress was delightfully friendly. The presentation of the food was tops. Very happy, will be returning for dinner again in the future.

Stayed over last week for a few days, and I honestly think I couldn’t have stayed anywhere better in the EU for the same price. The room was basic and what you’d expect, the bed was very comfortable and the sower and toilet worked as they should. The coffee and tea facilities were great, and plenty of room to hang your clothes etc.for a single room it was excellent. The pub downstairs was excellent too for food and entertainment on most nights, location is the best in the town. Take it from me you’ll love your stay here, the owners and staff couldn’t do any more for you if they tried. So for the few moaners in the review section you really need to give your head a wobble. I will be back next year for sure, all take care Paul Kidd who came to see his family The Hefferons 👍👏👏👏

The live music lured us to Western Strands for the first time. We had an extremely fun evening, danced, laughed and were welcomed by everyone at Martina's retirement party like old friends 😛 The next day we also came for dinner and it was very good. The party atmosphere from the night before was no longer there, but still decent pub music. If I ever find myself in Belmullet again, I'll be back.

Great atmosphere! Sadly no music when we visited but normally there is live music. The fish and chips was very crispy and the fish was very tender.

Solid pub food with friendly staff. :-)

I had the vegetarian lasagna here and it was delicious! Cozy restaurant, friendly staff.

Lively Irish restaurant and pub, friendly staff, music at times

Well worth a visit great food, great staff 👍
