The best restaurantsof irish

27/09/2026: One of the best pizzas that I’ve had in Ireland! Good pint of Guinness and live trad music! I absolutely loved this place!

18/09/2026: This is a true gem of a place! The best pint of Beamish that I've ever had. The staff are so much fun and they have world class musicians playing concerts in the barn.

20/10/2026: Stunning food. Took my son for his birthday meal. Was excellent

08/10/2026: Food, as always, amazing. The fillet on the stone is smply delicious and tender. And if the soup of the day is mushroom go for it!

01/08/2026: Very enjoyable night here. Beds were extremely comfortable. Room was spotless. Food was excellent.

06/07/2026: It was father's day and we had no booking but they fitted us in. It was a beautiful day and we were sitting outside. The food and service was excellent.

15/09/2026: The food here is delicious. My mam got roast beef and said it was the best she ever tasted. So definitely highly recommended. Service is friendly and lots not too pricy. We didn't book. It is accessible for people with mobility issues.

28/06/2026: Ate in this establishment on Friday 26th June. Had fish and chips and it was inedible and service was basic. A member of my party had lamb burger presented soaked in gravy and flavourless

10/05/2026: Great friendly staff and lovely good value food in a great setting by the sea

16/08/2026: Great pint, traditional friendly local with amazing views. Food looked good but only stopped for drinks

09/08/2026: Seaweed and hot sauce chicken wings are so tasty as is the fish and chips

13/09/2026: Had a great experience! The drinks were lovely and the service from Anna was fantastic. She was so friendly and attentive throughout, which made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend!

06/09/2026: We love going to Ely for breakfast, drinks and food, so it was really disappointing to witness the service yesterday. An elderly couple sitting outside were being looked after so kindly by Michelle — she turned on the heater and made sure they were comfortable. Erik then came out, turned the heater off, and when we asked for it to be turned back on because the couple were freezing, he refused and said, “Can’t you see I’ve just turned it off?” We explained again that they were cold and just needed a few minutes of heat, but he dismissed it, said “It’s not that cold, they shouldn’t be cold,” and walked away. He never returned, even after 25 minutes. His mannerisms and attitude towards the elderly couple were genuinely shocking. It felt rude, dismissive, and completely at odds with the warm service we’re used to at Ely. It’s a shame, because we really do love the place — but this experience left us very disappointed.

25/09/2026: Excellent food. Exactly the culinary delights you'd expect. Very friendly service.

21/09/2026: Delicious burgers, mac & cheese, and sides in a cool atmosphere. Food arrived quickly and fresh, and there's a bus stop right outside. The only downside: food prices were quite high, and at €7.80, the cider was clearly overpriced.

21/10/2026: Super food here. The pork tomhawk was amazing. And a great pint of Guinness.

11/10/2026: Food was good but that's it. We weren't asked if we want any drinks, we didn't get a water and ketchup/mayonnaise basket until I had to ask about it at the nearly end of the meal. They even switched off the heater in the patio with our table being the last one occupied. We weren't charged for a late pint of Guinness (we asked 3 different waitresses to finally get it) but that doesn't justify how we were treated here.

23/08/2026: Stunning meal this Friday with friends!! Food delicious creative and filling. Very much getting the full fine dining experience with the à la carte menu with all the lovely extra mini courses, great bang for buck! The staff were warm and attentive and our 1 small piece of feedback (not much considering 4 of us and multiple courses) was received graciously. The wine was all excellent. The Czech bubbles and the Lebanese red highlights to name but two. Will be back!!

16/08/2026: Lovely afternoon, service a bit slow. Cocktails were delicious

30/09/2026: Fabulous atmosphere and very friendly staff and customers 😀! Not to be missed 😉.

11/06/2026: A proper Irish boozer! Landlord very friendly and has a pool table round the back. Best pint of Guinness that I’ve had in the area!

06/10/2026: Our check-in started off a little rocky because they couldn’t find our reservation. I showed them my confirmation and eventually they found us a room—for less than what I had been quoted.Once we saw the room…We understood why. 😂The rooms are located behind the restaurant and bar and reminded me of a large trailer with connected rooms separated by thin walls. Our room was directly behind the kitchen. It was TINY. So tiny that we could barely open our suitcase. There were no windows, only a small skylight. And once again…HOT. Thick comforter. No airflow. Not exactly the recipe for a good night’s sleep.The second night we actually slept with the door open just to get some fresh air. We ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. They had signs claiming to be a “best gastropub,” but unfortunately, we weren’t impressed with the food. Definitely skip the beef stew here. BUT…The pub itself was fantastic. The staff, atmosphere, live music and locals were phenomenal. We had such a great time there that it made up for the room and mediocre food.

05/10/2026: We booked last minute and wanted to take our dog and we couldn’t have been happier! Location is fab, rooms at the back of the building are a very clever addition and so modern! Perfect with the dogs that there’s no noise from restaurant or music that will disturb them! The staff are just amazing and friendly and full of fun! Very welcoming! We loved our stay and loved how we could take the dog for dinner and for breakfast then to the pub! It’s the first place I felt comfortable with my dog! Brilliant

19/09/2026: Great ambiance. Delicious meals. We really appreciated that they fit us in even though it was packed. The service was quick. Everyone was quite nice. Washrooms were clean. It was 10 min walk from Talbot Hotel.

10/09/2026: The food is good, the service is better! Professional staff with good customer service skills. The Beamish is top notch and the fact that I could have a tab open at the bar while I did some work emails was really handy. Very relaxed place and well worth a visit

15/10/2026: We found An Poc Fada, while hoping to find a place to watch the Chicago Bears game on a Sunday night. The manager awesome and was able to get the game on Sky on a TV near the table we sat at. Food and service were terrific as well.

11/09/2026: Rude. Needs to learn some respect.

11/09/2026: My friend Richard’s favourite watering hole

04/09/2026: Great spot. Tasty food and good vibes
