The Old School House


Swords
13/08/2026: A lovely traditional Irish pub just around the corner from Dublin Airport. The ambiance was great, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It had a wonderful mix of tourists and locals, which gave it a very authentic feel. The food was delicious with generous portions, and I was particularly impressed with the kids’ menu. Instead of the usual fast-food options, they had proper choices — my kids had the penne and really enjoyed it. The portion was just right for them. There was also a great selection of local beers, and plenty of paid parking right next to the pub, which was very convenient. The only downside was the wait for food — we waited about an hour, although the pub was very busy that day, so it may have been an unusually busy service. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you’re staying near Dublin Airport!
05/08/2026: Delicious food, good value for money and the service was friendly and excellent.

Dawn Till Dusk


Swords
06/08/2026: My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing, and it will definitely be my first and last visit. While I was waiting to be served, I witnessed a completely unacceptable situation. A Waitress called the chef to ask something, and he responded by yelling at her in front of all the customers. It was an astonishing display of disrespect and poor manners. It was very uncomfortable to watch an employee be publicly humiliated by someone who appeared to be no older than 25 and showed a serious lack of professionalism and leadership. No one deserves to be treated that way for simply doing their job. Beyond the quality of the food, the way employees treat one another—and how they behave in front of customers—says a lot about a restaurant. Unfortunately, this experience left a terrible impression. I would not recommend this place, and I will not be returning.
19/07/2026: Came down to get food that I saw on their website but after arrival everything was 4 times the price. Food was nice but expensive. Over all wouldn't come if I knew as 25e is a lot for bit of meat handful of fries and portion of McNcheese.

Rubys


Swords
29/07/2026: Very nice place, our family love it, great food veriety,nice cocktails, would recommend 100%
26/07/2026: We came here for lunch today and, unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. We ordered tacos amd pizza, but they were completely soaked in oil. There was so much grease that it wasn't even possible to pick them up with our hands, let alone enjoy eating them. The entire plate was covered in oil and it honestly looked more like taco soup than tacos. The waitress came over to ask how everything was, and we explained that the food shouldn't be served like that because of the excessive amount of oil. Unfortunately, nothing was done about it, even though it was obvious that we had barely touched our meals. When it was time to pay, a different staff member brought the bill and no one followed up or addressed the issue. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

05/04/2026: Great spot. Friendly staff and kid friendly. Always there for the events also
22/03/2026: Gorgeous food, seem to have a new menu now and it was amazing. Got the chicken pot pie and the roast dinner, sticky toffee pudding and bread and butter pudding and it was all amazing. Probably the nicest bread and butter pudding I've had. Staff are lovely too.

McDonald's


Swords
31/07/2026: Ordered a Large meal and a regular McFlurry. Collected my order and it was missing a drink so I had to let the staff know. Once I was out of the place, I realised I was given a Mini Mcflurry too. At that point I didn’t bother going back in. Waste of money
31/07/2026: Omg the The worst restaurant I've ever seen. Dirty is an understatement. The manager doesn't see anything. The food is very poor quality. Only after I pointed out that it was dirty did they start cleaning. The kitchen staff were laughing and joking, and there was no one to clean.

Wrights Cafe Bar


Swords
19/12/2024: We had our Christmas party for the 3rd time there! Food was good as always, but the music wasn't as good as previous years, and one of the bartenders had a bit of an attitude at some point! Overall it was a good experience, and we are looking forward to finding out what's coming next year! P.S.: Ruaidhri was there for us every year for our Christmas parties, making sure that we are having the best experience, so we do hope that we will see him there again in the new wrights adventure!

Courtyard Swords


Swords
02/12/2025: Great spot for a toastie and hot cuppa on these cold days.
01/07/2025: There is one golden rule when travelling: you eat where locals eat. It never fails. Courtyard Café has well-earned the straight five stars in its reviews: on the spot made food and snacks, great coffee and friendly atmosphere. So, do not hesitate and go to visit Sligo and, when there, go to Courtyard Café or viceversa.
