Roost
Maynooth
20/12/2025: Great spot for a good night out
17/12/2025: Unbelievable.
I was denied entry by an old security man standing outside the pub on Monday night 15th of December all because I was “wearing a tracksuit” mind you, I had on a HOODIE and JOGGERS!!
Then I looked back and saw a bunch of black people like myself standing just right outside, refused entry as well while like 20-30 white folks just walked in, one even threw up the middle finger to me.
I had to leave the place and go back home that night. Waking up in the morning, the girl I was with told me she went back there and was still denied entry, and the man asked her “where’s your little black friend?” And also called her a “wh0re” just because she was with me that night.
So I was lowkey denied entry into the pub because I was black.
Absolutely unbelievable

Jacobs Well
Rathdrum
03/11/2025: I don't even know where to start.
I'm an actor and the production company booked this "hotel" for me for a few days. I had really early morning starts for work and got back late in the evenings. I just needed a place to rest at night .
When I first rang them, the woman was very rude on the phone. That should have told me everything I needed to know about the place but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe she's busy and stressed and that's why she was rude.
After filming all day I would just want to eat and sleep (not socialize, or eat out) . Late finish times usually means take away food would be the easiest option however this 'hotel' does not allow you to have take away food.
They played really really loud music, they could have turned it down a bit . A man and a guitar how loud can it be???? The sound was awful on my room. I got zero sleep. And somehow it went on from 9:30 pm until 1:30am.
When I rang them to complain (I really needed sleep) I was having bad chest pains and thought I was gonna have a heart attack) the guy on the phone tells me " we have trad night, we advertise this everywhere, so why would you book this place to stay in?" This were his exact words.
I told him I didn't book it, the company booked it. He was so rude. As well as the woman . I often stay away for work but I've never never experienced such bad manners.
They don't care about their guests staying in the accommodations. On fact they're not accommodating at all. I could go on about this but I won't.
Eventually I found the most peaceful b&b called the meetings bnb. It was absolute paradise. The staff took such good care of me. Please check this place out before booking at jacobs well.
The meetings is surrounded by trees and the two rivers meet. It's tranquil but most importantly the staff is actually KIND , that's all I needed.
I know if Jacobs well responds to this it will be the same defensive narci responses. Fyi booking.com did not advertise loud music . I tried sleeping in the shower, hoping it would drown out the noise some what with the fan but it didn't at all. Because the speakers were insanely loud
Oof it was an awful awful experience. Might as well save money and sleep in the car. Yes I did! People like this really shouldn't be in business.
If you wanna relax and eat what you want go somewhere else.
A response to this narcissist, and defensive owner- I called only twice ( only to make payment because you told me it had to be don't over the phone. Absolutely not a single person had let me know that this room was over the bar. The fact that you still come on here to lie shows how absolutely awful you people are. I actually feel sorry to the people that have to deal with you on a daily basis.
20/10/2025: A beautiful family run pub.
The chicken curry is beautiful.
Once a week we have takeaway curry. And I look forward to that day!

The room was very big with a king size bed, two singles and loads of space for kids to play etc. breakfast was very nice. We spent a lovely Sunday morning playing with Johnno the dog on the lawn out the front of the hotel.

The Woollen Mills
Dublin
24/12/2025: Thanks so much for our traditional family breakfast we had this morning: your restaurant is part of our Christmas and we all always love it, especially your sausages: Thanks to your wonderful, pleasant, professional staff, and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😊
21/12/2025: Very poor food! My 21 euro burger was like something I'd serve up to the kids.. Zero garnish & burnt chips! . Everything is over priced for what you actually get. Nachos were a complete rip off . This place used to serve really good food. I dont know what happened it? Disappointed++

Bakestone
06/12/2025: Wonderful experience! Everything was delicious and the cakes were spectacular.
18/11/2025: We have always liked the food here but the system used for ordering, cooking, paying and seating leaves a lot to be desired. The restaurant was not busy when we visited but we had to wait an unreasonable amount of time to place our order and to pay. Then when it came to actually getting our food there was a long delay between my hot sausage roll and my partner’s toasted sandwich arriving. Even though we ordered together we could not eat together. We asked for assistance many times but the staff were disinterested and unhelpful. There were plenty of staff on so delays should not have been an issue. We were very disappointed as this was a restaurant we visited regularly but this was our last time.

Rafter Dempseys
Kilkenny
22/12/2025: Great location, Gerry is a brilliant host, room was clean and comfortable, bathrooms could do with a little facelift but clean and functional, breakfast was delicious....we will definitely stay there again
05/12/2025: I rarely leave reviews, and now I'll be honest this did happen a while ago. But the experience was so bad it's actually stuck with me, I think about it a lot. I believe it actually changed the course of my life, if I didnt go to rafters that morning for the fry with my friends id be a different man... a better man. But the service was so bad it tainted me.
I hear the waitress' shrill voice everytime I close my eyes. "A cappuccino?" she says to my friend quizzicaly, "but id have to make that... just for you" she screeches. Followed by a torrent of obscenities and abuse. I thought the experience was over but then the slop arrived.
Lads honestly I cant even put into words how bad the entire experience was, from the start the place was dead empty and she was still trying to run us out the door, saying the guests would be awake soon and there'd be no room for us, 40 minutes later still waiting for the grub and not a sign of a guest... it actually had me thinking we weren't real for a bit, that we were wandering spirits only she could interact with. But then the amount of abuse she muttered at us anchored me back to the mortal realm.
The overall experience was 0 stars, but the strangeness/funniness of every interaction in there and the fact we get such a laugh talking about it gives it 5 stars on the banter scale

Larkins Pub & Restaurant
Milltown
28/11/2025: We were on holiday and staying in Milltown for 3 nights and decided we wanted to go grab some food and drinks at a local pub. We stopped at Larkin's Pub and immediately we knew we were in the right place the owner Mike helped us immediately and was full of great information of places to see around the area. We also came back a couple nights later on Wednesdays they have traditional Irish music being played right in the bar. Was great to listen to had great drinks and the locals were fun to talk with. If you're in the area stop by and see Mike and the rest of his crew. Tell him the farmer from Oregon sent you.
25/10/2025: Lovely Pub. I was on the way from Tralee we stop for a quick bite, good pub grub! Toasted sandwich with chips & salad, fire was blazing needed on a cold October evening. The Guinness looked good.
Friendly staff and customers.
