The best restaurantsof irish in Ballina

09/12/2025: When u walk in you are greeted as if u were an old friend. The restaurant is large and airy lots of seating. They are good at accommodating small groups(12ish) with a reservation. There is a wide selection between the menu and specials board

12/10/2025: I will start off by saying food is ok and most of the staff are polite and friendly especially a curly haired waitress. However, an older woman with a bob hairstyle let them down with a bang, we were there for Sunday lunch and from the moment we walked in we were berated and treated like second class citizens. I am a care staff in a home for adults with intellectual disabilities so when we go out for lunch, each meal has to be paid for individually. As we are repeat customers this fact is known by staff before we even sit down to eat and although the bill came to nearly €150 we were very rudely told that in future to ring ahead as they are very busy. I was shocked as this establishment advertise themselves as being open to walk ins but apparently that doesn’t extend to us. Needless to say we won’t be returning.
