Cunninghams Bar Kildare


Maynooth
14/10/2026: Dropped in here for something to eat and every aspect of it was fantastic 👍🏻
02/10/2026: Cunningham's is right across the street from where we stayed at the Silken Thomas. Our large family was in town for a wedding and they did a beautiful job of accommodating a large group of us. We ate there twice. They have two different rooms with two completely different atmospheres. The first place that we ate was white tablecloth with wine glasses and candles. Very romantic and elevated. The second space they have is a pub atmosphere. Very comfortable and nice. It's the same menu for both places They were awesome.

McMahon's


Maynooth
14/10/2026: Visited McMahon's yesterday, my second time only, but it will surely become a favourite. My friend had turkey and ham, I had seabass with baby potatoes (omg!), peas, al dente broccoli (yummy), and some spinach. The seabass was cooked just right. Big shout out to the kitchen staff! All the food was delicious. We just had tea and coffee afterwards. Staff are lovely. We love the atmosphere of the lounge. Cosy and comfy.
30/09/2026: The pub itself is great, which makes it all the more disappointing that the Tuesday night quiz is run in such an unpleasant and confrontational way. I was driving, so I was drinking cordial, while other members of my team were buying and drinking alcohol. Keith came over to our table, pointed at my glass and immediately demanded, “What is that? What is in that?” When I explained that it was cordial because I was driving, he responded, “I’m not wasting 2hrs of my life for you to drink water,” followed by, “Listen here, sunshine. You don’t come into someone else’s house and not buy a drink,” before taking points off our team. I found the whole interaction unnecessarily rude and condescending. I was drinking cordial because I was driving, and other members of the team were buying alcohol anyway. Unfortunately, this wasn’t an isolated incident. On another night, Keith wanted us to move closer to him so he could “see us”. We explained that we would rather stay where we were because the speakers near him were extremely loud. His response was, “Okay, that’s the excuse,” before walking away. There seems to be a pattern where very minor things become confrontational if you don’t immediately do what he wants. It creates an uncomfortable atmosphere around what is supposed to be a few drinks, some questions and a laugh with your mates. It often feels as though the room is being policed rather than a quiz being hosted. I’m local and I’ve been going to McMahons since I was little. The pub itself is genuinely great, the staff are nice and the pints are good. Unfortunately, the atmosphere around the Tuesday quiz has put me off the place completely. I won’t be returning anytime soon.

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.
