The best restaurantsof irish

03/10/2023: Did not eat food here but the bartenders were awesome!

08/02/2025: Great food in a beautiful oldstyle pub, welcoming, friendly staff and locals and a blazing fire on a cold day. The chowder was delicious as was the brown bread and the calamari and prawns were as good as I have ever had.

02/02/2025: Went to Grogans today, was told we would have to wait about half hour for a table, tgat was absolutely fine, I decided to go to the bar for drinks, there was a couple of servers behind the bar, the guy who told us we would have to wait a half hour appeared to be a manager or head waiter, he went in behind the bar, he completely ignored me standing there, they left me standing there for approx 10 min, the place was not even busy, a lady who I believe owns the business asked me was I alright, I replied I am trying to order drinks, she replied some of the lads will help you, now if she had a manner she would have said sorry ill get someone to help you,but no she went to a table and started talking to people while I was still been ignored, they have absolutely no manner, it's a rough establishment, where custom is doesn't appear to be appreciated, food is expensive and from what I seen portions are small, we are local and will never set foot in this kipof a place again.

19/05/2024: Really loved this restaurant-booked it last minute and didn’t have time to check it out too much but I was really impressed with the Ambience, the staff and most definitely the food! The food was next level and I absolutely adored it especially the goats cheese starter. All round excellent experience and it made a very enjoyable evening.

14/12/2024: Don't be fooled by the numerous award plaques on the outside (all dating back over at least a decade). This place is a huge disappointment and appears to be doing very little to capitalize on its prime position, beside the river, in a town that draws visitors far and wide. For what you get, it's overpriced. The staff are lackluster. The produce is dull and lacking any presentational pazazz. They cannot make a decent cup of coffee. You're left with impression that this is a business on the way out. I first came here during the Covid pandemic, when they were taking significant liberties with public health regulations at the time. The same laissez-faire attitude seems to persist. This is ripe for a visit from the Brennan brothers - or to be taken over by a more imaginative and entrepreneurial owner.

01/09/2024: We have dined here a couple of times in the past and were very happy with the food. A super location and well fitted out. The americano and cappuccino we had today in large cups had too much water and practically tasted the same. Maybe there was a change of ownership or management, as the upstairs section is now a shop. So disappointed.
