09/10/2026: Had a lovely pint of Beamish, great bar for a brink or 2.
01/10/2026: The seafood option here are good! And a great pub for a couple of drinks! I would definitely book ahead if going for food. If your going for a couple of drinks I'd leave it until later in the evening when food service is over.

21/10/2026: Only stopped in killing time waiting for the train so can't comment on the food but as for drinks the pricing is pretty reasonable. There a separate bar area and a main restaurant area, though you can order food in the bar area as well, only difference is the 'bar' area has more single person seating where as the restaurant has more large tables for groups. At 1pm I seemed to be the only person just in for a drink, but there were quite a few in for food, though not full by any means. I'm from the north so my idea of far pricing is based on the £ conversion, not often I get a pint for that price in Belfast and was cheaper than the other place I got a pint while waiting for the train a couple of weeks ago so I'm no expert on pricing was was happy with the price.
02/10/2026: Great, speedy service and the paninis are delicious. Well recommended

The Clermont
Dundalk
11/10/2026: Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere, fantastic vegan menu. My partner had the tofu starter, the beyond burger, and the vegan chocolate parfait and loved it.
Really nice to see a proper vegetarian menu and vegan menu done right. Great service too, wait staff on point and really nice.
11/10/2026: The food is shocking, the service is even worse, and don’t get me started on the Guinness — absolutely awful.
We waited over an hour for a burger, and when it finally arrived, it was complete rubbish. Honestly, we would have been better off going to McDonald’s for a far better meal.
To top it all off, the food and drinks are ridiculously overpriced for the poor quality you get. Absolutely disappointing from start to finish. I certainly wouldn’t be rushing back!

24/10/2026: Always a great experience at The Golden Goose! I’ve been here many times, and the service is consistently excellent. The waiting staff are always friendly, attentive and welcoming, which really makes a difference.
I had the Cajun chicken burger this time around, and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely one I’d recommend trying. Compliments to the chef, who deserves to take a bow! 👏
The owner is also a genuinely friendly person who helps create a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. It’s great to have a restaurant where the food is consistently good and you’re made to feel welcome every time you visit.
Highly recommend The Golden Goose for great food and excellent service. Looking forward to coming back again!

Lisdoo Bar & Restaurant
Dundalk
02/10/2026: Sign said "wait to be seated" so we waited for 5 minutes while serves kept walking past, no one asked if we needed to be seated or assisted us. We helped ourselves to a seat and the same people who seen us standing waiting, walked past us multiple times. Was a young girl with blonde hair in a bun. She cleaned the table beside us and ignored ours which was covered in food, salt and water and never bothered to ask if we wanted menus or drinks. Don't think we should have to ask for these in a restaurant. Terrible service on their behalf. Can't rate the food as I didn't get any.... wasn't even busy
25/08/2026: Absolutely love this place, great food, great service and value for money 💰 highly recommend 👌 ample parking for everyone, example young and old,disabled parking. 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Carlingford Arms
Carlingford
11/10/2026: Food is lovely comes out on a sizzling plate .
Gave us complimentary soup and bread all-in great date nite.
27/09/2026: From the outside, and a look at their menu you’d expect great things. But sadly that wasn’t to be, arrived and sat down. Ordered starters which took a lifetime to arrive (place was not busy) eventually mediocre starters arrived, then mains, which for the price were not up to par. Sad to say won’t be returning.
