Wetherspoon
Swords
04/06/2026: A somewhat older hotel and pub. The reception is at the bar. Our room was large and spacious.
The food was good, but nothing special. They really can't make cocktails. However, I found the ordering process for food and drinks to be excellent.
20/05/2026: We stayed in this historical building for one night since it was only 15min from the airport. Dinner and breakfast were very good and extremely reasonable prices. Very good service as well..highly recommend it.

The Pound & The Attic
Swords
03/01/2026: A fantastic pub. Great atmosphere and the owner is amazing. We feel very comfortable and will gladly come back.
27/12/2025: Looking for a small, comfortable pub? This establishment features two bar areas and is popular with an older crowd, although some younger people also attend. It's a great place to watch sports, with numerous screens and ample space for conversation. Parking is super easy – just use the village castle car park across the street. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they serve very good pints, there are many types of beers. A beautiful place.

Rugged Lane Restaurant
28/12/2025: Had Sunday lunch here today with family and the food was incredible! 10/10! The service also amazing and ambiance great. We will definitely be back ❤️
13/11/2025: Visited on Sunday for my birthday, it's been on the list for some time. It was a lovely meal but I expected more, maybe because it was the Sunday lunch menu it was very basic/simple food done well. I had the fish for main which was bland but the sides were great, the dessert was disappointing and more geared for kids. That being said the venue is lovely and the service was excellent from all members of staff. Overall I was underwhelmed and did not find it value for money hence would be reluctant to return

22/03/2026: Gorgeous food, seem to have a new menu now and it was amazing.
Got the chicken pot pie and the roast dinner, sticky toffee pudding and bread and butter pudding and it was all amazing. Probably the nicest bread and butter pudding I've had.
Staff are lovely too.

Karma Thai
Balbriggan
10/06/2026: The food's flavor and presentation was really good for the price, and we didn't have to wait long for the food. They have a lot of space inside for both large and smaller tables, and a karaoke for groups of 10-30 ppl that can be booked in. The staff was lovely and accommodating, the ambiance was nice, and we loved the decor as well - all in all, we had a lovely time for my mom's birthday <3 thank you so much for taking care of our table! We will come back again to try the karaoke 🌟
04/06/2026: Came for a family event. Service and food was great. We also had a room to ourselves which helped out with the kids.

Caffe Italiano
Skerries
02/06/2025: Amazing food ! Always welcoming and a gem of a place with a friendly family atmosphere. Always accommodating and beer in fine too .
22/04/2025: Been here a few times and had a different experience on every one. The last time was a Friday night as a couple, we probably had the last sitting but it was such a strange atmosphere. There was hardly anyone in the place and we felt a bit rushed out the door. It was eerily quiet and just plain awkward - not what you might expect of a bustling Friday night. Returned recently with kids and again, the place was practically empty and the vibe was just off. Really quiet, teenage waiter grunting at us, there was no ambience at all Even some cheesy Italian music in the background would have helped!
I will say the food is good, pizzas are excellent, tiramisu excellent, but they need to rethink the garlic bread - what the hell?! Had a long wait for a bowl of plain pasta for the kids. Also, for the love of god please put chips on the menu for kids! No kids' menu, no option for even a smaller-sized pizza, so not sure how family-friendly it is.

The Balscadden Inn
12/04/2026: At a 40th birthday party here and I must say that the service , staff and atmosphere were absolutely second to none. We had food platters that were served fast and hot with more than ample quantities. An enjoyable night in a very quaint, clean public house. Toilets were spotlessly clean . Can only highly recommend.

21/04/2026: No food in this place but who needs it, great pints, attentive staff and a vibrant atmosphere in the attic.
11/04/2026: Came here wanting to go to the upstairs and it was closed, shouldn't be called the pound and attic if an entire part of it is closed with no posting of its separate opening hours online or anywhere in person

The Harp Bar
Swords
04/01/2026: We arrived as a party of 4 adults and 1 child on Saturday evening.We we're promptly seated and treated extremely well by the staff in a professional and courteous manner. The food was excellent and all plates were served together. Based on this visit we would have no hesitation in making a return trip...especially for the wings & ribs
01/01/2026: I’m reviewing Envy Club, located beneath K Sixty Seven and run by the same management.
After returning from New Year’s Eve, my initial overall impression of the club would normally be 3.5/5 (or 4/5 if not for the very young crowd, mostly aged 19–25).
However, due to what happened last night, my final rating is 2/5. I may revise it in the future.
The main issue is cloakroom management — or rather, the complete lack of resources and planning. There is only one cloakroom window for the entire club, located in a very narrow corridor, which is already a poor setup.
While it was clear at entry that this could become a problem, what happened at 2:30 AM at closing time can only be described as chaos: panic, frustration, zero crowd control, and no meaningful organization.
When I left the main room at 2:30 to collect my jacket, there was already a long queue. I was surprised when a security guard redirected people away from the natural queueing side (closer to the main room) and told us to line up on the exit side instead. This later turned out to be a mistake, and one of the guards even admitted it contributed to the chaos.
In reality, there were two queues leading to a single cloakroom window, plus a group of people pushing directly at the counter between them. All of this took place in a tight corridor, so physical altercations were inevitable.
Security staff repeatedly intervened to break up fights, but no one actually controlled the queues. There was no discipline, no prevention of pushing or cutting in line, and no clear authority. The queues simply “lived their own life.”
It is unacceptable that a club of this size cannot organize something as basic as coat collection, especially when it creates real safety risks and extreme discomfort for guests. At one point, I genuinely thought I wouldn’t get out until morning.
I overheard one security guard say to another:
“What can you do? There’s nothing you can do here.”
And unfortunately, that perfectly summed up the situation and the level of crowd control on display.
