12/01/2026: We called into Andy’s Gin Emporium in Monaghan for a quick pre-dinner drink — and within five minutes we were wishing we’d booked in for the evening . The place is stunning inside: gorgeous décor, brilliant artwork and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We were welcomed by Shannon, who couldn’t have been nicer. She knows her stuff and made us feel right at home . My Gordon’s gin and tonic was spot on — proper glass, loads of ice, lemon, and Schweppes tonic. Simple but perfect. Then Kevin, the owner, dropped over to say hello and that’s when the magic really kicked in. He took us through the unique range of award-winning gins they produce - And it doesn’t stop at gin — he also introduced us to their own fabulous whiskey liquor which added greatly to the experience. We had a great time and bought a fabulous gift pack on leaving —a bottle of their seasonal hubarb gin liquor and a bottle of their wild Berry Gin with matching inscribed glasses - whie we didn't dine the menu was extensive and the food looked superb. All in all Andys bar and Restaurant is full of charm, character and proper Irish hospitality — with a drinks and food offering to match - A brilliant stop, and one we’ll definitely be back to. Fantastic memories from a lovely evening 🍸🥃💚 Lynn and Aidan

23/11/2025: Had burgers, deep fried Brie, chicken wings that tasted reheated for the 3rd time, brownie and Bailey’s cheesecake for Desert. The burgers had no veg, just bun and the burger, dry. Worst burgers we’ve eaten. Very underwhelming, in fact disappointing. In terms of the atmosphere, at first there was no music playing, you could hear everyone’s conversation and them eating their food. I asked the waitress for music and then apparently they turned it on but it was very quiet. So I asked the guy who looked like a manager if the music could be turned up louder on this side of the restaurant, he kinda responded in an annoyed tone and the waitress girl was scared to ask him again I told her I’ll ask him myself. Anyways, the food didn’t make up for it. Also the sauce on the brownie was cold, makes no sense. We didn’t get a menu for like 10-20 minutes. Won’t be back
