13/01/2025: Great rustic location in the Burren. Amy and team are very enthusiastic. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection.

20/07/2024: Well worth a stop in found it after walking the Cahermurphy loop walk Food was very very tasty. Staff friendly and polite. Prices very reasonable

02/06/2024: Quiet spot out of the way,under whelming.food average .staff diinterested ,managed to get a simple order wrong and then a wait for fries .

23/06/2024: Grabbed a quick coffee prior to going into the castle. Not much for gluten free food options.

30/05/2024: We ate here while visiting the castle. It's located between the gift shop and admissions into the castle. The food was reasonable (menu includes options such as sandwiches, quiche, soup etc) but as others have commented, no prices were visible. So we don't actually know what each individual item cost. We paid €40 for lunch for three. There are around 20 tables here.

18/03/2025: First time in Spanish point and found it to be a lovely part of the wild atlantic way. A beautiful day for a walk along the beach and then lunch at Johnny Burkes in the Armada Hotel. My Wife wasn't very hungry so just had the soup of the day which was parsnip, she really enjoyed it. I had the roast rib of beef with all the trimmings and it was excellent. Service was very fast considering it was very busy. I'm already looking forward to a return trip during the summer.

19/01/2025: Johnny Burke's bar at the Amada in Spanish Point is brilliant. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are welcoming and delightful. The food menu is very good indeed. Spectacular location, spectacular staff.

23/09/2024: Geared up for the matchmaking influx

08/09/2024: Called into Nellie’s. The 4of us for a few drinks were made very welcome by the proprietor Nellie we had more than a few. Because the atmosphere. Of a traditional Irish pub is so relaxing. , we returned the next nite and an impromptu sing a long started. A great nite was had by all we will be back thanks Nellie

20/03/2025: I was in the cock tavern on Thursday the 20th of March at around 11:20, we were served by the rudest bar tender would not recommend this bar unless you want to be made to feel uncomfortable we asked for the cocktail menu and asked where the cocktail and we have never been made feel so uncomfortable in the way he responded and I have never been treated like this before absolutely appalling !!I’m a bartender myself and would never treat customers the way we were treated absolutely no customer service does this boy have and so disrespectful.

03/11/2024: The staff were overall pretty good, however, when I returned the steak I was basically told I was a liar. I eat out a lot and normally I don't have to complain, but that attitude is just rude. The steak was full of sinue, over fatty. Now I understand sometimes steak can be a little tough, but the steak was rough. I paid the bill and left. Theres plenty of better pubs to eat in, don't bother with the Cock Tavern Swords.

04/08/2024: Great mix of locals. Very nice place to sit and relax with a pint. Bridget also makes a good Irish stew. Live music from time to time and located bang in the centre of town

03/11/2024: We visited apparently on the last weekday they would be open for the year, and weekday service will continue in January. We got lucky! As you arrive at the Trump International Golf Resort you are warmly received by a finely dressed gentleman at the gate house. He called ahead and announced our arrival for lunch, gave us directions, instructed us where to park. The staff of the bar and restaurant were waiting for us, menus in hand. They were preparing for Halloween and there were lovely arrangements of pumpkins. We were seated at a corner table that had two windows on each side that allowed for a wonderful view of the ocean, beach and a part of the golf course. Started the lunch with drinks, the men had Guinness, and I had what I considered the best Bloody Mary made from fresh ingredients and not a mix. I chose the Salt and Chili calamari, which was on a salad/slaw which was tangy delicious. My husband had the shrimp tacos. Being from Texas we are usually very skeptical of any taco in another country, but this did not disappoint. I stole a few bites, as well as a few of the most perfect French fries which were crispy goodness. The staff were absolutely perfect, the ambiance was elevated Irish pub with a seaside twist. I am very glad we took the chance and drove the hour from the Shannon Airport area. After lunch we strolled the beautiful beach! We had the beach to ourselves which was extra special. From the beach as you look out at the water you can see the Cliffs of Moher. If you had all day, you could visit the cliffs and the Trump Bar & Restaurant. Next time we visit, I would like to spend a night or two at the resort. But for a daytime visit you really cannot ask for anything more!

24/08/2024: Popped in for a drink as we were staying nearby. Beautiful setting, nice bar/restaurant area. Lovely staff, friendly & very efficient.
