15/02/2026: Popped in on a Wednesday night in dark damp January. Nice open fire. Thought the kitchen may be closed but ordered and ate two decent fish and chips. Tartar sauce was a bit weird, sort of a chemical taste but otherwise fine. Guinness was good, and a good price. Look forward to coming back when the place is in full swing.

14/02/2026: It was quite lovely. The music was good The Guinness,a bit sweet. Conversation lively. The bartender lovely and attentive. I wonderful place to round out your evening.

29/10/2025: Charming restaurant with delicious food. I was there at the end of July with my mother staying within walking distance of the restaurant, and it was one of the best meals we had during our 5 day trip in Ireland.

27/10/2025: Service was great . Fish (was light like a cotton) & chips was very tasty. Soup of the day super. Atmosphere was very cosy

27/11/2025: This is a big cold, but they have the best sausage roll in all of Ireland. No greasy, or cheap sausage meat…full of rich flavour and delicious flaky pastry. The Portuguese Pastel de Nata, straight out of the oven was better than any I have had in Portugal…well at least as good as! Great coffee as well! Friendly people!

30/10/2025: Pleasant surprise finding baked goods of such high quality in such a small town, great coffee too!

09/01/2026: Had lunch fast friendly service.Went for the vegetarian option very nice. Nice place to dine in Ennis would recommend.

07/01/2026: Ordered the steak with a couple of beers to wash it down. Steak arrived fairly quick and cooked to perfection. Sides and sauce were delicious and well presented. More than enough food on the plate and the live music will a reasonably full pub made for a very good atmosphere. Great night

06/01/2026: We had a wonderful meal...a lovely evening near the cliffs. Excellent live music.

02/01/2026: Have been here a couple of times , the food , the music , and of course the criac are all unbeatable here , my favourite places to go when I’m in lahinch ! And the aul fella in behind the bar always looks after us, Glen is his name I think

09/02/2026: We stopped here on February bank holiday weekend and am I glad that we did! Smoked salmon and Gouda Mac & cheese was a religious experience. Beef and chicken burgers came with tasty fries, dipping sauce and possibly the best onion rings I’ve ever had. All served with a smile and a warm welcome. Will definitely return sooner rather than later!

01/02/2026: Cosy pub with great cooking, lovely service and good beer. Music from 9pm. We chose from the specials board and had a really good meal. Welcome was friendly and the Burren beers are brewed locally. Feels like an old fashioned pub, with a local feel, where visitors are made welcome.

29/01/2026: Found this place by accident while looking for a place to eat. The service was quick and the fish and chips was very nice.

27/01/2026: Lovely bar.. great food and drink. Reasonable price.. nice atmosphere.. staff great.. special thanks to luke and joanne

15/02/2026: Amazing food as always! Visiting this place on regular basis and the quality of the food is always outstanding.

13/02/2026: Fabulous food, lunch Fast efficient staff Definitely be back again

05/02/2026: We decided to come for dinner on the last night of our trip to wrap things up, and it was a brilliant idea. A truly excellent dining experience compared to our previous meals, which consisted mainly of sandwiches and chips. The tiramisu was probably one of the best I've ever had. The service was attentive and quick, and they gave us great recommendations. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a pleasant time enjoying good food.

04/02/2026: Definitely the best pizza I’ve had in Ennis town. Staff are also incredibly helpful and fun to talk to!!!

02/02/2026: We went for dinner, the food is very good but honestly the price is higher than the quality-to-quantity ratio. I imagine you're paying for the location and the views. The fish burger, given the description and price, is expected to be more spectacular, but it's very good, as is the fish and chips. The staff is very friendly and the place is beautiful.

01/02/2026: We had an overwhelmingly positive experience at Monks. Fabulous rooms, clean and modern. King size beds with comfortable mattresses guarantee a good nights sleep. The location is amazing and the hotel has views across the harbour from the rooms and the bar/ restaurant. The staff gave us a warm welcome and all were very helpful during our stay. The restaurant was equally fabulous, it is head and shoulders above any of the others in the locality. We come to this area often due to family commitments, going forward we will only stay at Monks availability permitting.

04/01/2026: A Favourite place of mine for Fantastic Food and Service..

17/12/2025: I went to vaughans last summer and can I just say wow! The food the experience the service all amazing. The young handsome light skinned bar man young Nibs was especially polite Great service would highly recommend
