27/10/2025: A classic pub with good food and friendly service. What more could you want?

10/09/2025: Lovely pub indeed. Our first time in it and I really enjoyed the layout cosy but plenty of space. A good food menu and a gorgous pint of Guinness. The owners were very friendly. Well worth a visit if in Tinahely

20/08/2025: Very yummy clean food with a nuanced palate. Very friendly people and áine is inspiring and just amazing.

19/08/2025: Everything was amazing. The views are unreal. The food is phenomenal. I had the carrot and parsnip soup with homemade brown bread and then the fish on a bed of lentils for main. An-bhlasta ar fad!

30/10/2025: We found fantastic food and a cosy room with a sunset view at this place for our one-night visit to Inishbofin during the off season. The ferry arrived a few hours before check-in and they allowed us to drop our bags off early so we could hike around. The bed was extremely comfortable. Adrian couldn’t have been kinder and even connected me with a book that helped me find some details about my ancestry on the island. The bar/restaurant served excellent food and even had a veggie burger for me, which is not something I expect even on the mainland! Don’t hesitate to book here.

10/10/2025: Fantastic location great staff service and food thank you for having us we will be back

11/10/2025: We had an amazing experience enjoying the tasting menu and honestly regret not going for the full menu — every bite of every dish was unforgettable. This isn’t our first time having a tasting menu, but this one was truly exceptional. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, carefully explaining each dish and making the whole experience even more special. We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

16/11/2025: Accommodating stuff and lovely food

11/11/2025: Great spot for looking at football and just for a pint. They do food deals most evenings. Our favourite is Mondays steak night. 10 oz fillet with all the trimmings for €20. Would advise booking though as quite busy.

17/11/2025: Updated: Your explanation is extremely dismissive and does not reflect what actually happened. The receptionist initially “kindly” allowed me to charge my phone in the lobby. If she genuinely felt this was inappropriate or that we should have moved to the bar area, she should have said so from the start. Instead, she returned after a couple of minutes and made a comment that was unnecessary, offensive, and discriminatory “Our guests want to feel safe when they stay here.” This implied that my sister and I were somehow a threat, despite sitting quietly and doing nothing wrong. To claim this was due to a language barrier is absurd, she spoke exceptionally well, and her words were clear. This was not a misunderstanding,it was an inappropriate and offensive comment. A vague apology for my “distress” completely fails to address the seriousness of what occurred. Framing this as a procedural issue is dismissive, insulting and an outright joke. The response you provided is a disgrace. As a company, you should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to dismiss and downplay blatant discrimination and offensive behaviour. I expect the hotel to acknowledge the gravity of this situation and take meaningful action to ensure no other guest experiences such treatment. Anything less is unacceptable. Initial review: Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. Although my encounter with the receptionist was brief, it left a lasting negative impression. Last week, while waiting for my bus back to Dublin outside the hotel, my phone had died, so I went into the lobby and politely asked the receptionist if I could charge it. She agreed, and I plugged it in. Not even two minutes later, she approached me and said, “Our guests want to feel safe when they stay here,” before asking my sister and I to leave. We were simply sitting quietly in the lobby, charging my phone, and doing absolutely nothing wrong. To be treated this way and racially profiled in 2025 is honestly disgraceful. Because I can guarantee that if I didn’t have the skin colour I have, things would have never unfolded the way they did. Her comment about guests wanting to feel safe made it seem as if we were some kind of threat which is honestly deeply offensive. What danger could we possibly have posed by simply charging a phone? I would never expect such discriminatory behaviour from any hospitality staff.

16/11/2025: Exceptional Hospitality - Dooley's Hotel Dooley's Hotel exceeded our expectations! We stayed there as part of our CIE tour, and the service was top-notch. The hotel organized a special dinner for our group, and the chef personally came out to greet us and shared the bread recipe - that's some serious hospitality right there! Highlights: - Warm Welcome: Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere - Delicious Food: Tasty breakfast and dinner options - Excellent Service: Staff went above and beyond Tips: - Book ahead, especially for dinner - Try their breakfast - it's a great start to the day - Don't hesitate to ask staff for recommendations Dooley's Hotel is a hidden gem in Ireland. We'll definitely be back!

17/11/2025: Lovely place with great service from the bar from George! Lovely gent very efficient and made a great drink

14/11/2025: Overall, I'd never visit again. For the cost the food was abysmal, the staff were perfectly pleasant and the place was clean and tidy. I'd ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. The rice reminded me of poorly made boil in the bag stuff, very watery and without flavour, the naan bread could have been used as a frisbee. The curry and chicken were nice enough but honestly for 18 euro it was awful.

08/12/2025: Visited Lord Lucan Bar and tried a few dishes. The stir fry with chicken was acceptable, the fish and chips were too greasy, and the Angus burger was just ok. While the staff were friendly and kind, the overall food quality was disappointing. The pub has a typical Irish atmosphere and the Christmas decorations were beautifully done, but the visit was not worth it and I will not be going back.

07/12/2025: Fab food & friendly staff👍 (Translated by Google) Comida fabulosa y personal amable👍

17/11/2025: We came here as a 3 to have a late brunch. We were visiting Ireland and I have to say everyone has been so friendly, especially the staff here. The food was delicious - we had the bacon, pancake & granola and tomatoe soup with bread. I had the best chai latte here too! Would highly recommend this place!

15/11/2025: Already good to stop here for a great breakfast. Fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. Check it out.

13/11/2025: Waitress took our order wrong. We ordered 2 mains and 1 starter. Recieved 1 main and 1 starter. When i asked where our main was he laughed. The customer service here has been terrible the last 3 times we came. Unfortunately we won't be going anymore.

26/10/2025: Wonderful pub for great food and drink and a history lesson!

22/04/2025: Great place to go for lunch, food excellent. So sad to see it's now closed, definitely was the best around for lunch.

15/03/2025: One of the best places to eat in this beautiful town!!
