07/09/2026: Real Irish pub. Live music, great people and atmosphere. Ignore the tourist traps at Temple Bar.

23/08/2026: My Favorite place togo for drink and small bites. Very cozy place but loved the decor... serves cocktails as well. Downstairs they have wow burgers so ur meal is also sorted while having your drink... great selection of beers, whiskeys and liquors at reasonable prices. Location is also good.

23/10/2026: We are on a trip and we were well received, served and we ate well.

23/10/2026: We are French and were visiting Dublin for a few days. We received a warm welcome with smiles and a zest for life, and the meal was excellent. I highly recommend it.

10/09/2026: Great Guinness food was excellent, good pub grub. You had to wait a while but definitely worth the wait. No music when we were there, but friendly welcoming staff.

20/06/2026: Love the Helm, cannot t comment on the rooms as I love ve to n Westport, but it's definitely in the top 3 pubs in Westport

06/05/2026: Fantastic pub ,food is top quality and great portions and Vini is an excellent host.

16/10/2026: A pleasant surprise on the way to Derrynane Beach. Delicious food, generous portions. I ordered a seafood gratin and loved it.

10/10/2026: Was laking any atmosphere very disappointing😞

18/10/2026: Ordered stick bbq pork chunks for starter and they were just chunks of fat, only 4 small pieces with little to no meat for €12.50, my partner ordered goats cheese which came on top of figs that where hardly there. Then she asked could she get a little roll of rocket leaves to go with it. They then charged €4.50 for that on top of an already €11.50 starter. The mains where lovely. Supreme of chicken and a vegetable curry. I got a rock shandy drink and to my amazement it was dearer than a pint when I got the bill @€5.90. Overall the experience was good, I just think the extra charge on an already poor starter was too much and the rip off rockshandy. Still a lovely place and staff where great, Don't let this review put you off. Just don't order either of those starters and play it safe.

08/10/2026: Food: the scallops starter wasn't that great. The scallops were unidentifiable and a very small portion. My partners prawns were in a sloppy sauce and it was a very large portion. Mains were very average. The gingerbeer battered fish was nothing special. We both have had better fish in batter in other places. Mains were below par. We didn't take any deserts as a result of the poor starters and Mains. Service was ok. The atmosphere was lovely and cosy with a modern touch. Would I come back? No. Overall score 4/10.

20/10/2026: Food top class. Service was impeccable. One of the best in West Cork.

21/09/2026: Hearty and delicious, what more could you ask for?

09/10/2026: breakfast lunch and dinner are phenomenal here at the house. There's always a buzzing mix of locals and a few tourists scattered in. a well curated wine list and craft beers. Check out the back patio on sunny days. Highly recommend!

12/09/2026: Having been to this restaurant where we enjoyed their delicious dishes and friendly service is a beautiful memory for all of my family.

15/10/2026: Great place and seating on many floors. Bartenders and servers were great. My food was delicious but wife's brie wasn't fully melted. Nothing wrong with the food, I've had better, but you come here for the drinks, location, music, and atmosphere.

15/10/2026: It's really lovely there, just like you'd imagine a pub to be. Live music, a great atmosphere, and delicious beer.

20/05/2026: What a wonderful experience at Monks, beautiful place right on the water, dinner and breakfast excellent, Colette went above and beyond to ensure our stay was 5 stars, would highly recommend and we will definitely be back Deirdre Daly San Francisco

14/05/2026: Colette and the entire team at Monks were kind, welcoming, and friendly. The hotel appeared updated and was comfortable. The restaurant served a great fish pie and some delicious salty oysters.

20/09/2026: Swinging through New Ross on our way south we had a wonderful lunch here. Ann was a breath of fresh air, bouncing between tables and meeting all our needs. Good food, great place and amazing service!

23/08/2026: This Hotel is Fabulous 👌🏽 Just back from a beautiful 2 night stay. The welcome From Brian as you enter this magnificent hotel is Fabulous. Brian went out of his way to organise everything and ready looked after us for the weekend. The food, Drinks and Service was absolutely amazing, Thank you so much John and Karen McDonagh 😀

07/06/2026: We've had an amazing stay in this beautiful and authentic Castle, I can't thank you enough. Brian and all the staff are the real definition of "warm and welcoming", rooms are cozy and comfortable, restaurant with truly high quality menu. I wish we could stay longer than one night. See you again soon xxx

06/09/2026: What a dissapointment! Ordered the fish and chips, and while the batter was light and crispy, the hake was mushy and tasteless. The chips were floury and dry inside and not crispy enough on the outside. The only saving grace was the small amount of salad on the side, which was fresh and dressed with a zingy mustard dressing. Service was polite and fast.Came half way around the world for this, and my local take away does a better job with better fish.

06/09/2026: The welcome was excellent, the waiters attentive and very kind. We ordered a box for two. The calamari tasted only of curry, the sauces were delicious, and the fries were raw. You could see them. We sent them back; even the second fries were raw in the center (because they have very large fries), really not very good. The place is nice and very clean, but very, very smelly. Our clothes were ready to be thrown away when we left.
