Dromoland Castle
03/11/2025: Everything about this castle is magnificent. The older section (reception, restaurant, bar) is sumptuous. Breakfast is exceptional in the castle's grand hall.
The grounds are equally impressive (forest with deer, lake with the option to rent a boat for fishing, golf for enthusiasts).
01/11/2025: I’ve been to some nice hotels over the years, but the stand out feature of Dromoland Castle for me, is not the facility (which is super) but the staff. You would expect them to be professional, but they are far more than that. They are characters. Whoever manages this fine hotel, do not change how you recruit and train your staff. In the short two days I spent there, the staff were standout and good crack. Not overly drilled or devoid of personality.
Rory in the bar epitomised this, but was not alone .
All staff were happy and engaged.
Congratulations.

McDermott's Pub
14/11/2025: We had our wedding reception at McDermott’s Pub, and it was absolutely perfect! The vibe was warm and lively, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was beyond delicious—every single dish was amazing. The live music was top notch and really brought the whole celebration to life. From start to finish, they made our special day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate!
06/11/2025: Great Pub, we spent an evening there food and drink we great, so was the live music.

Milano
Ennis
19/09/2025: Above my expectations the pizza was super I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it probably the best pizza in Ennis.
18/09/2025: The pizzas were delicious. The rest of the menu looked good, but we didn't try anything else. The staff was very attentive. It's a shame we couldn't go back; the kitchen closes around 9 p.m.

Byrnes Restaurant
Ennistymon
11/11/2025: Food is decent - we enjoyed the early bird menu twice and it caters for vegan and vegetarian, although you wont have a selection of options. Service was great both times and price good too if doing early bird !
27/10/2025: Nice restaurant, off the beaten track.
The menu is manageable. The starters are small.
We had the steak, not so good meat and not grilled well.
And the curry, well-seasoned but with more sauce than substance. The chicken with it was good.
However, and this is why it only gives it two stars, the prices for the food are far too high. €29.70 for the steak and €25.70 for the curry are, in my opinion, completely unreasonable.

Passatempo
Ennis
04/10/2025: We enjoyed Passatempo so much we ate there twice! The pasta is homemade and sauces were flavorful. The wine selection is limited but the choices are well selected to pair with dinner. Marco and Karla are owners, chef and very gracious. It’s tucked away off of the Main Street and quant dining space. We enjoyed it all!
02/09/2025: I arrived in this place by chance. Curiosity made me enter, I had a lovely bruschetta and a wonderful carbonara. My congratulations

Kenny's Bar
Lahinch
30/10/2025: Went in here recently ordered a Guinness and a vodka and sprite from the blonde younglad behind the bar(who was busy chatting and took ages to acknowledge me) .My wife poured some of the sprite into the vodka and took a sip.She asked me to taste.No taste of vodka at all(she normally checks before pouring the mixer if we are in a bar for the first time)Guinness wasn't great so we left and made our way to Frawleys and had a great night.
27/10/2025: One of the best pub grub lunch’s we’ve had in a long time . Figured because we’re near the sea we’ll have to pick the sea food lunch , we weren’t disappointed . Food tasted amazing . Had the Thai style mussels and clams and prawn pot .
Great size portions . Staff real friendly , kid friendly . They serve a good Guinness and a wicked good irish coffee .
To bonus it off the background music was a Waterboys playlist 👌👌
