The best restaurantsof irish

10/12/2025: If you're going just go for the carvery, don't bother with à la carte in the evening. Russell's used to be GOATed but in recent years the prices have gone up and the portions have gotten smaller. Still a good carvery though, the chicken curry is great.

22/11/2025: Great food, great value You won't leave here hungry. Great selection of carveries on offer and they really fill your plate. And it's good food and very tasty. Excellent value. Would definitely recommend and return here again.

14/12/2025: Went for afternoon tea, served by the lovely Rachel from Portugal, her knowledge of the Castle was superb, she showed me around some of the many function rooms, had wine by the fire in one of the many bars.. if you love oldie worldie steeped in history and a Castle that feels like your on a very old ship you'll be in the right place. Will return and try Jack Fenn bistro attached to the Castle.

29/12/2025: Lovely food and great service. V Highly recommend 👌🏻

26/12/2025: Well managed Public House. Good pub food , plenty of seating on normal days and a good level of service which creates a good atmosphere. Recommend.

03/01/2026: I'm giving it two stars as it is a lovely spot but the downstairs cafe was closed for the winter and there is no lift so the person I was with who has limited mobility couldn't get the coffee and cake she was looking forward to

03/01/2026: Great food and coffee, amazing view from café, friendly staff.

23/12/2025: This is such a wonderful place to stay. Right in the town centre, with secure parking. I was there in December, the street was so beautifully decorated and the plave itself so cosy and historic but with all modern necessities. The staff members were most helpful- I had to get to a work party; the lady at the reception not only organised a taxi for me, she also walked me to the gate to ensure my safety. Furthermore, the price was more than reasonable for the time of the year Would highly recommend Foley's!

20/12/2025: Had a lovely stay here. The rooms were great and very accessible, the hotel was quiet and relaxing, and the bar was a nice bonus. The staff were all so friendly. I also left my headphones behind and they found them and posted them back to me, which I was so grateful for. Amazing service — would definitely stay again!

21/12/2025: One of my favourite pubs in the city! The beer garden is huge and such a vibe during the summer. Wide selection of drink. The (I think) Australian bouncer is so lovely and funny!!

08/12/2025: Our little troupe of geriatric walkers booked our Christmas night out in "Deep South" and from the first contact to the last we were met with outstanding hospitality and real appreciation for the custom. As the organiser, I have to give a special mention to Alannah who was absolutely superb and for whom no detail was too small, even though we were only a group of 13 and there were some big company nights on as well. We were also asked if anyone had any special dietary requirements. As a party venue I would highly recommend "Deep South" and, whoever is organising next year's gig, I imagine there will be no complaints if we return for the next instalment.

03/12/2025: Lovely location and accommodating staff. Booked the suite and the whole hotel was decorated in the spirit of Christmas which was lovely. Just one minor suggestion: Consider partnering with local artists for artwork to be added to rooms and potentially it being able to be research via qr code and purchased.

02/12/2025: Room was very comfortable, the perfect size with plenty of space, but not too big. Excellent bathroom. Service at the hotel were excellent. All staff were outstanding, very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent, poached egg and avocado was delicious, eggs perfectly cooked. Having access to the swimming pool at the Great Southern was a great bonus and it is only across the road from the townhouse.

24/10/2025: I was only in the restaurant for a coffee. The atmosphere is very pleasant, beautifully decorated, and cozy. Good service.

07/10/2025: A lovely cafe on the banks of the Barrow. We sat out and had coffee and scones, watching the world go by on the river. Nicest scones we’ve had for a long time. Friendly staff too.

26/12/2025: Nice place to relax after cycling.

09/12/2025: Very good got a table very quick and food , service and atmosphere was good and very relaxing .

24/09/2025: Food, service and entertainment all 10/10. Would recommend to anyone staying in the hotel or passing by - special shout out to Shane for being the star of the show

17/09/2025: Good food and a good time. Had to make a reservation - kind of. 😂

25/11/2025: Stopped in as a halfway point on a 4 hour journey for a stretch of the legs and a bite to eat. We were made feel welcome the minute we walked in. We didnt catch the barmaids name but she couldnt do enough for us. She noticed I was watching a game on my phone and put it straight on the tv for me,served up thr finest pint of guinness Ive had outside my local, told us where the bathrooms and smoking area were in case we needed them, and chatted in a friendly manner throughout. She's a credit to the place. A friendly "hello" from the local customers was also nice. Food was super tasty and came in hugely generous portions. Steak sandwich is beautiful! Pricing is fantastic value. Will return for sure

18/10/2025: Day 1 of our 2025 Irish getaway: we received a warm welcome. We ate very well, it was truly generous! €80, including four drinks. Perfect!!!

07/12/2025: Super cosy friendly pub in Schull.

22/09/2025: Great Guinness, nice bartenders and a very welcoming crowd. Had a great time here!
