The best restaurants

30/05/2025: Just after leaving Supermacs Not sure who cleans the bathroom but they'd want to be checking them I was told toilets at the top of the stairs, which was the mens didn't see a women's Bursting for the loo I took my chances and entered thankfully nobody was there The toilets 3 of them were un-useable, pubes all over the seats , now being a men's bathroom is neither here nor there, the absolute filth was shocking, needless to say I left

20/03/2025: Do not be eating this kind of horrific deli food atrocious turkey and ham is like plastic sausages are cheap mass produced look after your health stay clear

04/10/2025: Got 3 different meals got all of them wrong. The first one was a kids pancakes, on the menu it said it came with Nutella guess what no Nutella. 2nd thing was a sausage sandwich the sausages were cold. Gave it back and it came with no ketchup. 3rd thing was a sandwich with chicken and other stuff we got the complete wrong sandwich. Overall thus was not worth €30

17/09/2025: Great service, great food, soo lovely staff 😁 Definitely recommend this place 👌😊

26/07/2025: Waited 30 minutes for a bag of chips, man serving us rolled his eyes when I asked if he could hurry up as there was nobody else in the shop, they came cold and unsalted and hard. Do not waste your time here!

12/07/2025: 1 star for refusing to give my daughter cold water and being rude about it.

10/01/2026: What a wonderful hidden gem of a place and dog friendly too. We had a great evening in the bar, lovely food and a good night's sleep and it was as easy as a breeze and clean and tidy. Thank you Sheila and team. We look forward to coming back soon.

20/09/2025: Absolute hidden gem. The keepers Arms is a perfect location for anyone looking for a peaceful night away in the centre of some amazing tourist attractions. Its at the foot of the cuilcagh mountains and in the centre of the cuilcagh geopark with some amazing sites to see. And to top it off its DOG FRIENDLY! Sheila and all the staff couldnt make us feel more welcome and was so kind and helpful during our stay. Lily my dog was made feel welcome and nothing was to much trouble. Even has great pints of guinness too! Bar food served in the evenings was really good and lots of it and very affordable. Breakfast was amazing freshly cooked for you and lily wasnt left out either ❤️ Little garden area for anyone taking there dog out in the night. Really couldnt recommended the place more. Its a home away from home feel. And please call for the best price 🙏🏻

29/06/2025: Viajamos aquí para un almuerzo tardío, el aparcamiento subterráneo gratuito era muy apreciado ya que estaba lloviendo. El restaurante estaba ocupado, nos mostraron a una mesa encantadora, nuestra comida llegó rápidamente, el personal era eficiente y amable, el lugar estaba limpio y disfrutamos de nuestra comida.

29/03/2025: Tomamos una cerveza y luego pedimos nuestra comida, un ñoquis de nuez y un pollo tikka Masala, y 2 copas de vino. Los ñoquis llegaron después de unos 15 minutos, pero no hay señales del tikka Masala. Cuando el vino estaba siendo servido le preguntamos a una camarera si la 2a comida iba a venir, ella nos aseguró que era. 10 minutos después le llamé la atención y le pregunté la comida, sospecho que fue entonces cuando se dieron cuenta de que la orden no había pasado. Pasaron otros 10 15 minutos Antes de que llegara la comida, en esta etapa había terminado los ñoquis. Preguntamos por el gerente pero nos dijeron que iba a cenar. Qué suerte. Nos ofrecieron bebida gratis, luego a regañadientes nos ofrecieron comida complementaria. Esta no es la primera vez que hemos tenido problemas en los últimos 20 años, pero seguimos volviendo porque la comida y el vino son buenos. ¡Pero nos fuimos sin la segunda comida y esta vez no volveremos!

01/03/2025: Since I have been here has been renovated the bar area looking alot better

15/07/2025: Lovely traditional Irish pub. Doesn't seem extraordinary from the outside but there's a lovely, cosy atmosphere inside. There were several pensioners playing cards at the table beside us, which was lovely to see. Service was quick and friendly. I also really liked how all the spirits had clear, individual prices on the shelves... and the Guinness was top notch. Would highly recommend this pub to anyone visiting Ballina.

29/05/2025: We had dinner in this famous bar located in the same Portmarnock Hotel & Golf links. First impression was that it's more a bar/pub than a restaurant. But we finally concluded that the food was so good that it didn't matter at all. We shared their crispy chicken wings which were amazing, with an extraordinary Jameson & ginger ale sauce. And then, two marvellous Kerrigan's Rib eye steaks. One of the best beefs we've never ever tasted. Gorgeous. Not cheap, of course but worth every Euro. Highkly recommendable
