03/05/2026: Best place, delicious food ! A place to visit absolutely

28/09/2025: One of the best restaurants in Lucan/Leixlip/Celbridge/Maynooth area. The Dover sole meunière was simply outstanding. Better than fish I’ve had in Sole Dublin. Service was great too. Sound bunch!

23/08/2025: Attentive, friendly service. The sea food platter is generous in size and v nice.

15/11/2025: Lovely place, gorgeous food great prices

21/06/2026: Yum Yum place :) and Very Very Friendly for Cycling and they have a special Cycling Spot inside !!! Wow !!! Great :)

08/06/2026: Lovely restaurant in the heart of this university town. Great food wine.

06/06/2026: Update 29/05/2026 : Unfortunately this was not a good experience. The food ranged from ok to poor and when I say poor I don't mean unedible or disgusting. The service was hit and miss but friendly when someone did turn up at our table. We expressed our disappointment when the bill came and to be fair the manager came over to find out what was wrong and reduced the bill. You can't ask fairer than that and if the problems had been confined to one or two things we'd have accepted it as a bad day but in a relatively competitive marketplace I'm afraid we won't be back in a hurry and won't be recommending to others. Really enjoyed our family meal, food was very tasty and there was a good range of options on the menu. Staff were very friendly but a little hard to get hold of, hence the 3 for service. It's not a particularly atmospheric room but is still far better than some of the "unit" restaurants. There's an outdoor area which on a nice day I'd say would be very pleasant. €13 for a small margarita is a bit steep, the price is ok for a cocktail but either provide a jug or make the individual measures bigger.

22/02/2026: First time in straffon staying in the K Club for the night and we asked were to go just for a drink to watch the match staff were so nice we had a pizza to try and it was lovely highly recommend the pepperoni pizza also the locals that were in there were so friendly and welcoming will definitely call in again A++++

31/12/2025: I have been to this pub a few times. This 3 star review is due to the last two times we have been here, one staff member has been extremely rude, she was rude to every person on this visit and was really rude on the last visit, to the point that she had to apologise one of the lads. The rest of the bar staff are friendly and I still recommend, good pint of Guinness.

22/08/2025: Nice little spot to grab sandwich and coffee.

04/07/2025: The Dubai chocolate was the best that i ever tried *Delicious*

09/07/2025: There was live jazz music! The atmosphere was super!

25/06/2025: Fletcher’s Bar is one of those places that just gets it right. It’s cosy, friendly, and full of character – a proper traditional pub that doesn’t try too hard, because it doesn’t need to. It’s dog friendly (always a win), and there’s a real laid-back vibe that makes you feel instantly welcome. The kind of spot where you can walk in on your own and end up chatting with someone at the bar like you’ve known them for years. Best of all? They serve Murphy’s – and not many places do these days. It’s poured perfectly and tastes just as it should. Just the place to take the dog after a walk, Fletcher’s ticks all the boxes. Can’t recommend it enough.

07/11/2025: It's a must if you're in Sallins. Lovely place, great Guinness 😋

01/10/2025: Great place to meet up with friends. Great pint of Guinness. If you are in the Sallins area would highly recommend a visit 😀

25/06/2026: Lovely place to have some breakfast and coffee. I had the French toast and a cappuccino. Generous portion and great service.

18/04/2026: Very underrated. Food is delicious and staff are friendly.

06/01/2026: The day was very cold, and unfortunately during a funeral the toilet was locked

14/12/2025: This is a take-away only spot that delivers gorgeous stone oven baked pizzas - thin and crispy Buffalo garlic bread is delicious, highly recommend

30/11/2025: If you like pizza you will love plur wood fired pizza based in naas town in friary road car park this unique way of cooking pizza is delicious .also you order on the phone drive down,park up and a member of staff bring your pizza to you absolutely beautiful

06/06/2026: Places like this are dying out and its such a shame, the food here is very good, staff were so kind and efficient, baby friendly, excellent value and the bakery is a lovely touch, perfect spot for a quick lunch

17/05/2026: Went in here for a coffee while in the queue a man behind me was asked what he would like I was left standing there then some finely ask what they could get me when I gave my order waiting on ot other girl came and said how much I turned said I've paid already I'm waiting on my order left standing there 🙃 one the girls came with tea and coffee asked where would I like sit mind you only on my own so why would I what tea and coffee make it worse no manger around at all I really don't think the staff know what the are doing will never be going there again

12/08/2025: One of the best pubs I’ve been in Ireland. Great atmosphere! The owners are such a nice couple that makes you feel at home, and the service is great! Perfect to gather with friends, family, partner or just to stop by for a drink. And it has a billiard hall and a music box!!

25/07/2025: A truly wonderful pub with a lovely atmosphere. We had a really good time there. Thanks Mary (Mamma Mia 😉) and Mick!

03/05/2026: Saturday night yesterday and decided to have some takeaway from this place. Not a single regret on this! We got burgers, pizzas, chips with cheeze, onion rings, hot dog and so on.. Absolutely everything met our expectations, food was so tasty and well prepared. Definitely recommend these guys!

14/03/2026: Always friendly and not skimpy on the portions
