The best restaurantsof irish in Drogheda

31/05/2025: I had a lovely stay at this hotel and will be back in hope. Room was a little small and dated. Not able to get around the bed to draw the curtains and disappointed that no tea/coffee facilities available in the room but the atmosphere in the hotel was lovely and the staff were exceptional.

31/05/2025: This was the most elegant and friendly hotel. Service was impeccable and the bar is traditional and well stocked. The complimentary coffee, tea or hot chocolate made my kids so happy with Chritian’s hot chocolate delivered to the room for them!

26/04/2025: Friday night at The Cross - great atmosphere, friendly service, wide range of spirits and beers (including a local brew), and terrific music. What's not to like?

16/02/2025: Everything is absolutely 5 stars, I will return 🫶

04/06/2025: Consistently great. Wonderful food. Friendly efficient staff. Enjoyable personalities. I spent around two weeks in the nearby Boyne Valley Hotel, which at the time of writing only offers a breakfast service. The Black Bull Inn is nearby, and came recommended. I went there for dinner on my first night in Drogheda with a group of extended family. We ordered a varied selection from the dinner menu - starters, mains, from the grill, desserts, wines, and limoncello. The food and drink was delicious, the staff attentive and friendly. The venue is conducive to enjoying conversation across a table - sound levels are perfect with no loud TV or music to compete with. No echoes either. So we had a great experience. I ate and drank at the Black Bull many times over the two weeks working my way across the menu. I've eaten all the grill offerings, save the Tomahawk, and my experience was consistently excellent (I order rare, and favour pepper sauce or chimichurri). I kept coming back to the fillet. From the mains I've eaten the beef cheeks (wonderful, warming and filling), the confit duck leg, the pan seared chicken supreme, Starters I've enjoyed include the chicken wings (rum & coke style), the salmon gravlax, the confit duck croquettes, the salt and chilli calamari, and the pot of mussels. Desserts wise, the baked cookie, and the tiramisu were up to the standard of the other food. On only one occasion - a notably busy night where the pub was catering a tailored menu for an Italian wine tasting evening - we were approached by a member of staff who apologised for delays on our food and insisted we should enjoy a drink on the house. We had not noticed an issue with the timing, but were impressed that the staff had done so and wanted our experience to be a good one. I would say that the Black Bull is in safe hands, both front of house and in the kitchen. I look forward to returning there on my next visit to Drogheda.

02/06/2025: Fantastic family meal out at the Black Bull Inn. Smokey Salmon chowder with bread was full of taste to start with. Fish and Chips were fresh and enjoyed afterwards. Finally, the Churros with chocolate sauce was enjoyed for desert. Great pub food with high quality ingredients that are freshly prepared. The pub also has a great layout and lively atmosphere

17/06/2025: such a hidden gem- food and staff are always amazing, incredibly helpful. I used to come here often but in the past year have only come twice, but both times make me feel that I need to make this a regular visit again. service staff are amazing, I can’t say it enough. 10/10 recommend!!

18/04/2025: Lovely, enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, I always thought that was spelt athmosphere ha ?

18/06/2025: Good for a chit chat. Food was okay . Service and the staff exceptional.

17/06/2025: Food was overpriced and there was no garnish or extras with a sandwich, it looked very lonely on the plate! but staff were lovely and friendly n couldn’t do enough.
