The best restaurantsof irish

10/07/2024: We visited from UK and was really shocking to see this was the only LGBTQ+ bar in Galway. Bar was very small and atmosphere was definitely off! However host and bar persons were brilliant! Music was available on request which is always fun and plenty to choose from on the cocktail menu

03/07/2024: From Canada, in Galway durin our spring break in March. I had horrible experience. Looked up gay bar. Excited to go on late aftenoon with my str8 brother in law. Just to be made fun and ridiculd by bad queen i guess hosting a str8 girls night. All for that and great for doing...but once we walked in, door not locked, NOT EVEN A SIGN OUTSIDE saying closed fir private event. Once i heard it say thats why door is closed...made me sooo pissed off at how you treat new guests. In my world, you put a sign on door saying private party. Not make fun of tourist who just wanted to go to safe gay place. I will NOT recommend this place, and hope someone will open another gay place to go...or at least fire that wannabe queen. She not even a princess.....just trash.

18/08/2024: This place has a vibe! Stopped in for tea and coffee and will be back. Beautiful views, friendly staff.

11/08/2024: This remote bar is in a beautiful seafront location. Very limited opening hours for food, Friday to Sun early evenings only. There’s no website or online booking so I called the landline around 1.30 and got a voicemail with a mobile number. I called it twice, no reply. The number is on WhatsApp and the listing says ‘Can’t talk, WhatsApp only’ so I sent a message. No reply. Wondering if they were still in business, we took a chance and drove out there anyway, arriving about 4.45 - they open at 5. When we arrived every table had a reserved sign on it. The two women we met initially claimed not to have received my message. I showed it to them on my phone and they replied they’d been closed at 1.30 and simultaneously ‘very busy’. They said they were fully booked, showing me a clipboard with that evening’s bookings. I expressed genuine surprise at how all these people managed to make bookings when communication with the venue is so difficult. One of the women then said ‘you obviously don’t work in the catering business.’?! (I don’t, but I ran a small family business in a service industry for over twenty years. Responding to messages from potential customers is a basic requirement.) I was then informed that people book a few days ahead, often by email. Silly me for not knowing this. I was made to feel it was somehow my fault for not understanding their booking system. One of the women begrudgingly offered us a seat at the bar counter, asked one of the waitresses to take our order and walked off. Not the Donegal welcome I’d been hoping for. Food was fine and service from the younger wait staff was friendly. I’d heard so many good things about this place but the reception we got was very off putting.

30/10/2024: At Giovannis they have the best kebabs in town⭐ and I know what I'm talking about. I have been a customer for years and have never been disappointed in either the quality of the food or the service. The kebabs are fresh, full of vegetables, with crispy buns or pittas, a variety of sauces, something delicious for everyone. The fries are made from real potatoes and cooked in beef fat, not vegetable oil. We usually place our order over the phone, and the man who takes orders deserves a medal, he is so patient and precise that it is really rare. I highly recommend Giovannis ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

20/10/2024: As choppers go this place is an overpriced dump. Avoid

30/05/2024: Went to a Celtic night at the Boardwalk and had an amazing evening, especially thanks to the lovely bartender named Louise. She made incredible cocktails - and mocktails, while being very kind and helpful. Very nice place to try it you stay in Dublin for a couple of nights.

05/05/2024: We’ve been staying here on and off for about 20 years and I’m afraid on our last few stays, the experience hasn’t been as good as it used to be. It’s still an impressive, huge bar but it used to have fairy lights everywhere making it more magical. Some of the staff both at reception and in the bar seem a bit fed up but not all of them. The rooms haven’t changed at all so although comfortable, they really could do with being updated. Impressive reception hall but as you come in the main door there’s a couple of chairs and a very scabby table. Just seems tired and neglected. Our room overlooked a side alley which wasn’t pleasant but that’s no fault of the hotel. Also no fault of the hotel is that there’s quite a few hostels all round it. On a plus side, the breakfasts are still good with something to suit everyone and we were pleased with our fish and chips at dinner one night. Vending machines in the lobbies which is handy. Toilets always clean. No Celtic nights for the three nights we were there but had a good Irish music night. It’s still nice to come back to it at the end of the day for a few drinks rather than roaming about the city at night. We will be back but it’s sad to see changes and would be nice to see some money being spent on it.

19/10/2024: Always welcoming. Great staff. So friendly and helpful.

12/10/2024: One of my favorite places to eat,I try to get there as often as possible,fab food, friendly staff.

29/09/2024: We have never gotten a bad meal here at the Roadside and today was no exception. It was our first Sunday lunch and we both had the most gorgeous chicken and ham dinner along with the best pint of Murphy’s in Clare. Only remembered to take a photo of our apple crumble dessert at the end of our meal. Lovely staff too and the best atmosphere.

15/09/2024: While passing through lisdoon today we ventured into The roadhouse tavern .staff very friendly and the place was quiet enough considering its matchmaking fest time, we ordered the specials of the day I had bacon and cabbge and a pint of miwadi water.my wife ordered the special also it was fish on bed of rice also with a pint glass of miwadi water,my daughter ordered just soup.veg today.Anyway to make a long story short.The bacon was extra salty and my wifes fish was of average portion size but she enjoyed it. And my daughter enjoyed her little bowl of soup.On asking for the Bill it came to 63 euros for 2 specials and a bowl of soup and 2 pints of miwadi water .I Thought that it was a little saucy for sunday specials.Anyway we paid and left i was thirsty after the salty Bacon so i proceeded to buy a bottle of water in the corner shop in the village and then we decided to go into one of the pubs with music playing for a Drink and was refused entry .on asking why was told that we sell water here And you cant bring a bottle in with you....Need i say Anymore.....OHHHHH LISDOOVARNA.

08/11/2024: Got cream buns, the cream was sour very disappointing for a place that's been there so long

04/10/2024: Interest in the customer - no Hygiene - well Salad - a little older Toilets reflect the above. No recommendation

07/10/2024: Cozy little café with a good selection of food and coffee types. Good choice if you want a hearty breakfast. The staff is friendly and you are served promptly. The food and coffee are of good quality and the prices are okay. There is a star deduction because of the toilets. They could use a little more hygiene.

26/08/2024: A small place where we enjoyed good coffee and delicious biscuits. There were also some beautiful cakes with a very inviting look!

10/09/2024: Lovely beef cheeks dinner and my partner had tasty chicken fillet burger. The beef was excellent quality and the chicken was soft and delicious. There was a wedding on there at the time and we weren’t waiting too long to get our food, which is impressive. They serve Guinness 0.0 from cans which was ideal for me driving.

01/09/2024: Loads of parking, nice lawn with tables out the back, Had a Thai chiclen curry with rice and chips €20. Tasty, hot, not too spicy and ample portion size. Excellent service despite it being a Sat evening and us in scruffy hiking gear... Clean and bright interior.

15/11/2024: Found a thick, black hair embedded into the pizza. Please wear hair nets in future.

04/09/2024: Pizza House has friendly staff and the food is always lovely. The prices are fair and the location is convenient for anyone living north of Navan. Would definitely recommend.

14/10/2024: Staff were loudly talking to their friends messing around while we were standing at the till waiting to be served, everyone seemed grumpy. The food was disgusting, pizza was like something out of a Lidls' freezer, chips were nothing like the Supermacs in the city, half cooked and soggy. Literally only went here because Doyles was closed, will not be returning any time soon.

14/09/2024: Staff were nice and friendly. Food was quick and tasted great. The seating area was dirty and not cleaned at any stage during our visit for the amount of staff someone could of swept the floor and wiped the tables.

12/11/2024: Don’t go here awful service and attitude 💯Go to relish express up the road in contrast staff and service are excellent 💯

11/11/2024: Great service, and very good food. I find the place Relish excellent. I highly would recommend the place. When your order you are not waiting very long which is nice.

11/11/2024: Dunohys was brilliant. The quality of drink was superb the service was excellent and very friendly. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming. I would have given 5 stars only the heat in the place made us leave after 1 drink. Maybe we were sitting too close to the heaters but with the warm weather and the amount of people in the place I wonder was there any need to have the heating on.

15/09/2024: Nice and cozy, perfect for reading a book in rainy weather

24/06/2024: Nice and quiet back bar for a few games of pool
