25/10/2024: Excellent meal & excellent service. I ordered a rare steak & wow I’m a steak lover but this was exceptional. Salad, baby potatoes, sautéed onions along with a glass of Merlot. I don’t often eat alone but was made to feel very welcome & comfortable. Unable to finish meal but have lunch sorted for tomorrow! Top class, thank you to the chef Gregory and waiting staff. A special thanks to Silvane, she has the X factor!

21/10/2024: This was an unbelievably very good restaurant. Heading into winter on the West Coast of Ireland, the food, the service, and the atmosphere including the playlist was simply sublime. I’m not being paid to write this review, but it was probably one of the best meals I have eaten out in a very long time. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavour; from the steak to the asparagus to the potatoes, bread and peppercorn sauce I don’t think I have tasted better.

05/12/2025: A lovely little bar! I had a wonderful cup of tea and the staff were very friendly. I'll definitely be back! They accept cash, credit, and debit cards.

30/09/2025: During my recent trip to Donegal, my hosts introduced me to a true hidden gem - The Shamrock Lodge🍀Nestled in the heart of town, this cozy pub is far more than a place for a pint - it’s a gathering spot where the local community comes together, stories flow as freely as the laughter, and friendships are built. What struck me most was that you don’t need to raise a glass of Irish beer to feel the spirit of the place - the warmth, camaraderie, and hospitality embrace you the moment you step inside. If you ever find yourself in Donegal, don’t miss this little haven. A heart, heritage, and a true Irish welcome! Here’s to new friends, timeless traditions, and finding community wherever you go. #Donegal#ShamrockLodge#IrishHospitality#FromIndiaToIreland#HiddenGem#GlobalFriendship #FromIndiaWithLove
