Cunninghams Bar Kildare


Maynooth
07/12/2025: My wife and adult daughter rang to reserve a table on the evening of December 4th 2025. They were told reservations were not accepted so they arrived a while later. They bought two drinks at the bar and sat at a table. Almost immediately the "Manager" arrived and abruptly told my wife and daughter they could not sit there as the table was reserved for other people. My wife told him they would not move as they have been told there are no reservations, there is no "reserved" notice on the table. The manager said that there were other people he had been holding this table for. My wife said explained that her and my daughter had bought drinks from the bar, and would not move. The manager then loudly said that he would not allow them to be served for the evening A waitress approached, apologised and went to hand my wife menus, but from the other side of the bar told the waitress not to serve them! A young male waiter went over to them and apologised and offered to walk my wife and daughter to another restaurant down the road. My wife said she felt embarrassed, belittled and very intimidated. ABSOLUTELY ABHORRENT BEHAVIOUR
07/12/2025: Great pub, good for sport and lovely pub grub. Service is a bit slow, but also a busy spot!

Avenue


Maynooth
18/01/2026: Exceptional visit tonight. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Portions were huge and food was flavoursome. We will be back.
11/01/2026: I went here for the first time ever for a date night & it was absolutely 💯 from start to finish! The atmosphere was cosy & warm, we had a 3 course and it was amazingly delicious & I haven't been able to finish every meal from a 3 course in a long, long time! Have to compliment especially the sticky toffee pudding, it was to die for 🤤 The staff were extremely friendly & professional, kind & warm. Definitely will be back again to sample more from the menu! 😊 Sadly, I scoffed down the dessert so fast, I forgot to snap a picture 😂

McMahon's


Maynooth
05/01/2026: Two of us needed a quick lunch on Saturday. We were lucky enough to be served by the charming and very professional Ian/Jani. He was excellent and gave good advice. We had a coffee and a tea, two bowls of really good chicken soup and tuna melt sandwiches made with soda brown as requested. It was all perfect and quick. We will definitely be back and hopefully when Ian/Jani is on duty. Total price, €31.70 Others were having full meals - steak sandwiches, fish and chips, pasta and the roast of the day. All looked equally good which tells us that McMahons would be a good place to eat at any time. So, I've no doubt, we will be back and hopefully, when Ian/Jani is on duty too.
21/12/2025: We had a last get together for our club to finish off the year. Great experience! Definitely recommend going

The Gallops


Maynooth
05/07/2025: I have been so disappointed with the staff and service today. They should be ashamed of themselves for how they have treated me today. I was there at around 13pm today for lunch with my son. When we arrived I said we will seat outside because I am pregnant and I m feeling sick if i feel any smell. I have ordered from the kids menu a chicken salad, fish and chips and a pizza, and a chocolate brownie for desert, my son wanted chips and pizza and I was thinking we could share the food as I couldn't eat much and didn't even know if I could actually eat anything at all. When ordered the girl said if the food was for me or sharing, I said sharing and she said because I wasn't allowed to order from kids menu so I explained I was sick and don't know if I could eat anyways. I have been with my family so many times there and ofcourse I have never ordered from kids menu for myself . This was just because of my pregnancy. The fish was so oily and the batter had still flour in it. No taste, my son tried it and refused to eat it. I had a bite from it and everything else was still in the plate. My son had 2 slices of pizza, i have tried it also and the dough was so mushy. After this, we got our plates cleaned ..even if the plates were still full, the staff didn't ask if everything was fine with the food. We got the desert and I wanted one for myself also. I have been refused the desert as the staff said she wasn't allowed to add on my order from kids menu, i said she doesn't have to as I can take one from the normal menu, but she said thats not available on that menu, so she refused to get me the desert. I have left the restaurant and I don't think I ever felt so disgusted with the way everything was handled.
25/05/2025: I was so looking forward to this and I was very disappointed.mushroom starter were only out of a packet ...no flavour at all .....pork belly was disgusting...spuds were cold and not nice ...like smash so not good ....looks nice on paper but didn't enjoy ....burger mmmmm no taste at all more lettuces than anything...dessert was just ok .....now the staff .....dropped my knife but no one can to replace it ...girl twice came to the table and didn't take the empty water bottle and replace it till I got annoyed and asked her.....all the did was stand around talking..I even had to go to the bar to pay my bill as they were all in talking...sorry to say we didn't enjoy this and certainly wasn't worth €79 ....won't be back and no k wouldn't recommend to Friends either.
