07/03/2026: Cold atmosphere, staff not very cheerful

16/02/2026: Be warned staff will overcharge you here. Came here on Saturday night for a friends' leaving night and the place is nice, staff are friendly. However I ordered two pints when I got there, which was €13.50, so €6.75 per pint. Later on in the night I got one pint and I was charged €8.50. I didn't check the card machine before tapping my phone, and didn't notice until the next day, otherwise I would have said it. Either this place is using some kind of variable pricing, or the barman added a tip without asking me, or just simply overcharged me, because in what world is a pint of beer €8.50, not sure Temple Bar would even be that expensive. I tried to find an email address for the bar to say this to them directly without posting it here but they don't seem to have one. The chicken goujons were ok but I only got three small ones, not great for the price. The DJ will also deafen you when he starts, and once he starts all chance of conversation with your friends goes out the window.

04/04/2026: We ate here in 2022, and it was a must-return in 2026. Nice and snug, great place for a delicious bite and a pint after a hike at Sliabh Liag. Great food, atmosphere and staff. We did not stay at the inn.

04/04/2026: We went for dinner (we had a reservation). Great atmosphere! Very friendly and the food was very good.

14/04/2026: We came here for our friends Lady Gaga themed hen do for a bottomless brunch. What a great time we had - all staff were extremely efficient and friendly, especially Emily and Lauren! Our gals kept us topped up the whole time, were lovely all day and helped us have the best day! Thanks guys 🙏

12/10/2025: Calm atmosphere, great service and absolutely delicious food! Thank you and see you again soon!

21/03/2026: We met for lunch. The food was excellent, cooked fresh and served with a smile. The staff were lovely; very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

16/03/2026: Very disappointed with our meal here. After getting a recommendation, we decided to have Sunday lunch here. We were told that no tables were available until 16:30, so we booked for then. We duly turned up at that time,and they tried to seat us in the wrong part. After pointing this out, we were taken to find a virtually empty restaurant. So, why having to wait until 16:30 for lunch? The young staff ignored us for a while until we called one of them over. We chose the Sunday roast, which was a very limited menu (2 starters, 4 mains, 2 desserts). We ordered, only to be told that they had run out of lamb. Have you been around Donegal? What is there a lot of? Sheep! The chowder was rather thin and the vegetable soup uninspiring. The mains were OK (just), although the Yorkshire puddings looked like Aunt Bessie's and were tepid. I chose the crumble for dessert and asked for it, and the custard, to be very hot. So, of course, when it arrived it was stone cold (not even warm). That got sent back... Overall - very poor quality and we won't be returning.
