Treacy's Bar & Restaurant
19/10/2026: I visited the restaurant on Friday, 16/10 around 1.30pm with my two friends. It was my 4th visit and was just as impressed. My two friends had a beef main course and because I'm vegetarian, I had a vegetarian curry and it was delicious and plenty of it and I ate every bit of it. A very pleasant atmosphere all round and great staff. Maria Kane, Mountmellick.

Kavanaghs Bar & Venue
Portlaoise
09/06/2026: Absolutely fantastic service every time I visit. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always make you feel valued as a customer. What really stands out is how they remember your order, even when the place is busy and full of people. It adds a personal touch that is rare to find these days.
The service is always quick and efficient, and the team works incredibly hard to keep everything running smoothly during busy periods. The atmosphere is great, and you can tell the staff genuinely care about providing an excellent experience. Highly recommended to anyone looking for great service and a place that truly values its customers.

Ashbrook Arms
Durrow
30/06/2026: Absolutely amazing stay! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. It’s a wonderful family-run business, and every member of the team was genuinely kind, friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we had one of the best night’s sleep we’ve had in a hotel. Breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious, with everything freshly prepared.
You can really tell that the owners take great pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming place to stay!

O'Gormans
Portlaoise
09/08/2026: Took 15 minutes for our order to be taken. We got chicken wings for a starter this took 20 minutes to come out. They were only alright. We ordered a burger and vol u vant for the main which took 40 minutes to come out. The burger was fine however the vol u vant was 17.50 for a main course and 10.50 for a starter. With the main course vol u vant I got one vol u vant. I would assume two as it is a main course and I assume the starter also only comes with one vol u vant so essentially I paid €7 for a small thing of chips. Food was bland. The cherry on top was the €4 charge for two glasses of miwadi. This alone will make me not return. It is beyond cheeky when you’re spending enough for bland over priced food. I said it to the girl when we were paying with and she said “oh the payments already gone through”. As if she couldn’t have refunded it. Will not return!
09/08/2026: Very good! Foods great and relaxed atmosphere

Charter Bar

08/10/2026: Thanks for denying us for not being local, the lady seating people, made sure we knew by being a rude as possible. I’m sure the 20 open tables would have fit us well. Shame.

Staff were friendly and very accommodating about bill splitting.
Good portions of food.
