The best restaurants in Cavan

20/10/2024: Really friendly and super helpful staff, answering silly questions and requests and chatting when they had a minute. Music was really fantastic. Lovely comfortable warm would highly recommend.

20/10/2025: Not much ambiance in this place. Probably the "diviest" of Cavan pubs. However....what it lacks in appearance it makes up for in its people. Super friendly bartending staff and great patrons. Had a wonderful evening here and will come back.

24/12/2024: I had high expectations for Cabra Castle, but my visit on Sunday was ruined by a staff member at the entrance to the Derby bar. She was rude and dismissive. From the moment we interacted, her attitude was unwelcoming and snooty. She was abrupt and made no effort to accommodate our needs. We felt so uncomfortable that we decided to leave. For a place with such a great reputation, this was incredibly disappointing. Hospitality should be at the heart of any visit, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short. I hope management addresses this issue with her so others don’t have a similar experience. Perhaps she needs to brush up on her hospitality skills or consider a career change. She was more interested in her red lipstick than she was in valuable longstanding loyal returning guests. We had our wedding there in 2008 and we were so shocked at her attitude towards us. She is a liability for Cabra Castle rather than a valuable asset. Avoid at all costs. We certainly won't be back.

18/08/2024: We had amazing waitress Marta who looked after us. She is very nice and friendly. We enjoyed talking with her. Good choice of food, big portions. I could give 5 stars unfortunately this place was full at the beginning and we spend 2 hours walking around the hotel before we could get in. There are other areas in the hotel with bar which should be opened for guests so they could enjoy time there. Or at least there should be some lounge area where people’s could get a coffee and sit on couch and relax- we’ve seen some places like that but we had no idea if we could even sit there. Thanks to Marta our bad first impression have changed.

22/02/2025: Pint a Guinness is cream. Crack is mighty. Leave your feelings outside as everyone is in the firing line but in a good way. Well worth a visit or 2

20/09/2025: Chicken balls greasy and tough curry basic watery but spicy bag massive
