The best restaurants

20/10/2025: Chicken fillet burger SO TOUGH! Myself and my husband got the same so it wasn't even a once off as his chicken was so tough and chewy too. 80eur for two adults and two kids meals and for them to be close to inedible is unbelievable. Empty to your pockets but now its not even worth the high cost.

12/08/2025: I had a gift voucher, we had travelled 60 miles,they don’t accept Eddie rocket gift vouchers. Unbelievable 😢

24/10/2025: Helpful staff and very efficient service

23/10/2025: Amazing service even late at night 😁

21/10/2025: Great little eatery, offering wide selection of drinks, snacks, brunch etc. Very eco friendly. Staff pleasent, friendly and attentive. Had the soup and toasty, which was a very good deal. Worth seeking out if you're local or tourist alike. Also dog friendly.

31/05/2025: Lovely a cup of coffee in a cosy and stylish place

26/10/2025: Just passing here Sunday 26/10/2025 to get a crepe lemon& sugar and sweet chilli chicken panini takeaway and realised when back to my location Thurles: there was no lemon and no sugar at all in it. I could admit lemon may be absorbed in the crepe but no trace of sugar at all on the plate, crepe or even sticky foil. Disappointed ☹️ as I was also billed for the crepe and lemon and sugar price☹️☹️ Reason given when I phoned: young staff…

05/10/2025: A very nice gentlemen helped us. He made us an excellent Mocha and Flat White.

11/10/2025: Lovely pub, great atmosphere and service

02/10/2025: Just an outstanding pub. Wonderful servers, great place to go for a pint, good music, and wonderful affordable food!

05/08/2025: We heard some great music from some young folks playing here! They played traditional Irish tunes and even wrote some of their own!

01/10/2025: A long day from Dublin was topped off at Raftery's. We wanted "local' , pub, personal. After a Google search, review of menus, and geographic location ,we chose Raftery's. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Greeted upon entry, with the bar full of patrons ,we were seated, provided menus, accommodated with beverages and then had to choose from an abbreviated but fully varied menu. I chose the rack of lamb. My companion opted for the roasted duck. Both were heavenly. Hard to choose which was better, the veggies, potatoes,and accompanying sauce or gravy, or the prime attraction. All were absolutely delish. And portion size was perfect, leaving room for dessert! Generally too full to enjoy we ordered dessert. The apple crunch also did not disappoint...heavenly. If we had the opportunity to stay in the area vs. traveling on, we would definitely revisit. I really don't think Raftery's is one of those "good the first time" experiences. Congratulations! You make it hard to leave the area.

23/09/2025: Good food, good sized portions for a reasonable price. There weren’t many veggie options on the menu but were able to do a veggie stir fry for us which was tasty. Great service and a lovely atmosphere especially with live music. Sabrina Fallon was fantastic!
