The best restaurantsof irish in Ballina

31/10/2025: The Goosers Bar and Restaurant is located ib Ballina, Co. Tipperary on the shores of Lough Derg. We were greeted warmly by the Restaurant manager and although we didn't have a reservation a cosy table was found for us. A Well priced menu with lots of choice to be enjoyed in cosy surroundings. We're looking forward to a return visit...

25/10/2025: Perfect visit. Friendly staff and good food.

25/06/2025: Never in my 52 years on this planet have I ever experienced a genuine traditional Irish pub with fabulous musician for a trad session on Tuesday night. From the owner to the whiskey drinking bar man and musicians. Love you all. Had the time of my life. Thanks Sarah for the lift home... Gerard & Jenny.

01/11/2025: Really good place, food is amazing

30/09/2025: One of my favourite places Great food and first rate service

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.

06/09/2025: Our favorite pub in Ballina — and not just for the Guinness. Brian Boru is a locals’ favorite with some of the best pub food we’ve had in Ireland. The seafood chowder with brown bread, bangers and mash, chicken bacon Caesar, and chicken vol-au-vent were all outstanding. Michael, the owner, and Klyde, the barman, are extraordinarily welcoming (even by Irish standards), and the regulars are as interesting as they are interested in you. We visited often and can’t recommend it enough.
