Panda Asian Fusion Chinese Takeaway
Swords
24/12/2025: The worst take away in the village, the food is terrible. I ordered hot & spicy wings and I got home to find out they gave me some sort if manky bbq muck. The other meals are watery, tasteless & disgusting. The first & last time I'll be eating from that kip
23/11/2025: 13.70 for chicken curry and boiled rice
Waaay to pricey

Wrights Cafe Bar
Swords
19/12/2024: We had our Christmas party for the 3rd time there! Food was good as always, but the music wasn't as good as previous years, and one of the bartenders had a bit of an attitude at some point! Overall it was a good experience, and we are looking forward to finding out what's coming next year!
P.S.: Ruaidhri was there for us every year for our Christmas parties, making sure that we are having the best experience, so we do hope that we will see him there again in the new wrights adventure!

Chopped
Swords
28/12/2025: It used to be better, they were specifically chopping. Now they're just scraping it.
27/11/2025: Gone downhill. They don’t bother with smoothies anymore despite them being on the menu, staff huff and puff if asked for one, too much hassle for them so they say they’re not on at the moment. Menu small and nothing like original Chopped.

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.

Bagel Factory
Swords
29/01/2026: This is what you get when customer service is no priority at all. Don’t bother with vouchers they give, not worth the paper it’s printed on. The security is made up of people who were bullied and are taking it out on everyone.
28/01/2026: Everything you need in an airport.

The Betsy
Swords
10/01/2026: Booked a family meal for my daughter’s 18th birthday. From booking, till be left the restaurant the service was 5 star. A beautiful area and fabulous menu and a sparkling birthday cake they took the stress out of everything. Steak on a kids menu and squash on the table just topped it off. (Cocktails were amazing too)
01/01/2026: Went for new years eve, paid for tickets and although they were only 10 euro, jesus I'd rather give it to a homeless person, atmosphere was shocking, music even worse, people leaving left right and centre. Asked the girl downstairs what was the story with the bubbly and canapés ( as per tickets) , she told me I should ask someone, ( eh I just did) so I then asked the barman he said oh we gave them at opening, I said we just arrived 10pm he said sorry, so while he was on his own with 10 people waiting to order we went back upstairs, again I thought I walked into a nursing home, the blue rinse brigade was out in full force, but we ordered a drink anyway, left it and went home to watch ronan keating on BBC cause the RTE broadcast was as bad as the bestsy. If your planning anything, prepare for disappointment. Mutton dressed as lamb, they really need to sort their marketing.

The Plaza
Swords
24/12/2025: I got takeaway for me and my family of six and the food was nasty. The chips ans curry were mixed together with the rice and it was disgusting. The spring rolls had some type of things in it and it smelled disgusting
. The chicken balls were dry and it's was all just nasty. The chips were dry and tasted like they had been out on the table since earlier that morning. Trust me never get takeaway from here. We spent €109 on everything. This was such a scam. This was all leftover food I don't know why they would hand it out.
22/12/2025: We ordered delivery. At first it said we had to pick it up instead of it being delivered. We ordered a mega box so it took an hour which was fine. We replaced the rips with chicken balls and the rips were in the box. There actually were no chicken balls becuase there was chicken wings instead. We called to confirm that we were getting a delivery and to confirm we were replacing the ribs with chicken balls but they didn’t do anything and gave us the original box. We ordered sauce and also didn’t get it. Food was good but wouldn’t order again

Domino's
Swords
01/02/2026: Really great food and didn't need a grumpy customer being rude to the young man serving us, hope it didn't ruin his evening
07/01/2026: I have never received such awful service! From swords dominos in Dublin! I ordered through uber eats with an estimated time of 15mins it has been 1hr 15mins and I still have no food. When calling the store the lady said my order didn’t exist and when I asked if I could have a refund she said no we can’t do that. Then when finding my order the gentleman said was on the way. That same gentleman said he cancelled my order. Get some workers that actually know what they are doing. They were so rude to me on the phone. And didn’t have a clue what they were on about. After working in HR and customer service this is the worst i have ever been treated! No apology no nothing it’s absolutely ridiculous and so disappointing due to the price and quality of your food and the people serving it let you down. I hope this is acknowledged. I will take further action to customer support services if not. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS DOMINOS!

25/01/2026: GOD, THIS IS A VERY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

06/11/2025: Absolutely amazing place! Cupcakes and Counting is hands down one of the nicest spots in Swords. The cakes are unreal — you can tell everything is made with real care and top-quality ingredients. The coffee is always perfect too. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they really make you feel at home every time you visit. The place itself has such a cozy, calm vibe — perfect for catching up with friends or treating yourself to something sweet. Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough.
