Merry Monk
Ballina
09/03/2026: Good food and great craic at the bar. We were touring the Wild Atlantic Way and needed somewhere to stop for the night and grab a bite to eat. The Merry Monk was friendly, welcoming, and great value. A perfect spot if you’re passing through and looking for good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Ice House Hotel
Ballina
15/03/2026: Myself and my husband had been waiting ages to try this hotel and spa and to be honest, it's not really worth the hype.
The spa was amazing, I'd come back to the spa, we got couples treatments and it was absolutely worth the money, we thoroughly enjoyed the spa.
I feel like the rest of the hotel relies on the spa and the river views. The room was 320 euro on a Friday, it was a "deluxe" room.. it was pretty basic and you could hear snoring and coughing from neighbouring rooms. The food was good but again, overpriced for what it was and the side of veg and bread was extra.
Staff were lovely and accommodating.
02/03/2026: I popped in for breakfast. Definitely the best breakfast in Ballina. Fantastic views of the River Moy and friendly staff.

Ridgepool Restaurant
Ballina
08/04/2026: Old tired bathroom with grout missing from tiles in major need of a refurbishment. Never a 4 star hotel. Bedroom also old fashioned. Whole place needs modernisation.
Update, the hotel apologised and said I should not have been in room 212 as it should have been closed for renovations. The hotel kindly offered a full refund. I will update score after I stay in another room.
Update
Room 209, bathroom brand new
02/03/2026: Great staff. Had gorgeous room with bath under a skylight. Perfect place to stay when attending any event at the Arts Centre just down the street.

Crockets Quay Bistro

24/01/2026: First time eating here, nice staff, decent variety of food to choose from and priced as you would expect for pub grub, can recommend this place, will be nice to sit outside in the summer and watch the river 😀
