The best restaurantsof irish

14/04/2026: Smithfield IPA the best IPA ever , lovely olives too! I love the outdoor heaters! So nice 🙂 this is my favourite bar in Dublin

13/04/2026: Great cocktails, lovely staff, super dog friendly we love coming here on our dog & mum dates.

11/04/2026: The wings are really good here, really really good, been here multiple times and can always count on them to be consistent and good!! The staff here at nice but paying your bill at the door is weird

10/04/2026: Pizza crust was soggy and tasteless. The area was pretty dirty, not to say anything about the toilets …. Never again

08/02/2026: Annual tradition after the Kinnity Knight run. Great service.

30/01/2026: filled with people who clearly love their job. food was made with love and artistry other than the king rat colony circling my seat and snarling it was clean and comfy.

23/04/2026: Had so much fun and three hours of continuous laughter. Power packed performances at the stand up comedy show. Lots of love and whole lot of good wishes. Thanks!

06/04/2026: Very good pub, pretty good value for the prices in the area. I don't understand how it's empty; we've been two days and it's empty, and it's right next to Temple Bar. Update to the owner's response: Well, I was there today around 2 pm and the day before yesterday at about the same time. The other day 45 people came in, and today too, but it seems strange to me because the place is very nice, I like it a lot, the service is excellent, everything is perfect. But it's true that if you go down a little further, it's packed, and I don't understand how people can be crammed into one place and this place is practically empty. Maybe it just happened to coincide with my visit, but it really does seem strange to me. 4 people, not 45, sorry. I understand it must be the time of day.

28/04/2026: The food was okay overall, but I’d say it’s quite expensive for what you get. I had to remove two items as I can’t eat them, and they replaced them with extra roast potatoes and a hash brown, which I appreciated. That said, I initially only got four small pieces of potato, but when I asked for more, they added extra, which was good. The server was friendly and took our order well. The coffee was really good nice and hot. There’s also good parking available, and it’s easy to turn in and access the place.

26/04/2026: Editing an old review from 5 stars as I used to absolutely love this place. Have been coming in for breakfasts/brunches here for years now. Used to love the Full Irish ('Farmer's Fair') but they've changed a lot from what they used to be. It's hit & miss on the food a lot of the time, as they regularly change things around regarding what arrives on the plate so it's like a lottery. Food has become very disappointing over the last year or more and do not justify the prices anymore.

12/04/2026: Man -biker working in there very happy with

04/04/2026: Very clean place, tasty food. Highly recommended. 😊

10/04/2026: Fresh food, perfectly cooked and presented, served by friendly and efficient staff. What more could want. One of our favourite places to go in West Cork. Thanks Tina and Roxanne for always looking after us so we'll. Sean would be proud!!

06/04/2026: My brother and I went for a quick lunch, seafood chowder on Friday April 3rd. It was mainly cream and not much fish. As we were visiting our father who is from the area, he came in and paid the bill by card. The owner/manager asked him did he wish to leave a tip. My father asked if he had a tip jar. The owner/manager said there was a tin at the till and my father came and asked me did I have change. After we left, he noticed, there was a charge "Gratuity" He asked me was this tax, and I said that it had been a tip added to the bill. I wanted to go in, but my father did not want to make a fuss about it. I thought this was so sneaky, my dad is 82 and if it had have been a younger person would the manager/owner have pulled this one? Rachelle

10/10/2025: Beautiful setting right on the lake. We'll worth a visit.

25/03/2026: Paid nearly €30 for two drinks at the bar. The drinks were really nice and the barman was friendly. However, I was surprised to be prompted for a tip when paying. There was no table service, we ordered and collected the drinks ourselves, so I’m not entirely sure what the tip would have been for. Tipping should reflect extra service, not just standard bar service. The expectation to tip on top of high prices is off-putting.

24/03/2026: Felt unwanted from entering. The Bar girl was refusing customers from 10.40pm. She came to my table at 10.55pm and said we're closed! Hadn't even finished my drink, I just left it. Dont work in the bar game if customers irritate you so much.

28/03/2026: The food portion was too big for me but I loved what I got. The staff were very helpful and made sure we were OK. All my friends and my teachers loved their food too.

28/03/2026: I brought my mother for lunch. She is very fussy and when we were leaving she said "I'll be coming back here"

25/10/2025: Staff and proprietor courtious and friendly

21/03/2026: Very nice place to visit short distance from Dublin - Nice atmosphere, lots of art work in the coffee shop nice to see (and buy) while you wait for your food - good food with below average prices. The gift shop within the café is also nice and the best, of course, is the visit to the historical site - nice to spend half a day (or longer), see some historical areas of Ireland. Enjoyable

05/03/2026: A lovely place to visit all year around

24/02/2026: We had the worst stay in a hotel room for decades. The room was so uncomfortably hot that we had to sleep with the window wide open and drapes opened. Do this created another major issue.shining directly into the window were two huge security lights which are on 24/7. The radiator in the room was OFF and it was not possible to turn down/off the A/C. I made this complaint on checking out and was assured someone would call, NOTHING!!! When my daughter and I arrived slightly later than we expected but in plenty of time to use the thermal suite we'd booked however because we had traveled a fair distance, we asked if we could move back our booking(thermal suite) 1 hour to 4pm We were told emphatically NO as it was fully booked. This was a LIE. No one was booked in at 4pm. When we left at 4.12 not a single person had arrived to use it! The only thing good about this hotel was the bar food, That's it. Try somewhere else if you actually want to sleep at night

21/02/2026: From the moment we arrived at Villa Rose, we were welcomed by such a warm and friendly atmosphere. The hotel has a genuinely inviting feel that immediately makes you feel at home. I had a massage booked with Gemma, and she was absolutely amazing — incredibly professional and wonderfully relaxing. I felt completely at ease afterwards. A truly lovely experience and I would happily stay again.

18/02/2026: Beautiful restaurant, the waitress (blonde woman with pink shoes) for lunch time was lovely!! Very professional and kind. Nice spot in Kilkee

17/11/2025: I do not mean to damn with faint praise. The Myles Creek Guesthouse was a fine place to stay on a slow off-season tour of Ireland's west coast. Our room was small and a little careworn, but perfectly comfortable and, for the price, a good deal. The amenities suffer a bit in comparison to other, nicer B&Bs we've encountered on this trip, but it a pleasant (and surprisingly quiet) place to rest our heads. Kilkee's main drag has lots of pub and food options -- or would in season, but most places are closed in mid-November. We enjoyed our dinner at Hickie's a short walk away.

28/03/2026: For years it was best fish and chips. I always think about this as reward after trip. Today it was so under average… fish was super greasy and burger was one of the worst I ever eaten… would prefer McDonald cheese burger… Not sure if staff changed, bad day or some cost cutting but definitely not worth visit. Will give it one more try in few months to check if it’s back to glory but doubt it…

01/02/2026: Fantastic experience. Lovely staff and fresh tasty food. I would highly recommend it to anyone
