Harte's
Kildare
24/04/2026: Happened upon hartes through a recommendation on gluten free app. Beautifully decorated inside. Waiter went through menu with me and explained what I could have. Food was amazing with generous portions and really good service
24/04/2026: Busy on a Thursday evening but a bargain menu of 20 euro for two courses was still available.
I had crispy pork for a starter which was more fat than crisp but tasty enough. Sole in curry sauce with rice was delicious. My companion had the 39 euro steak. To be fair it was a fairly good steak, pepper sauce, chips, two onion rings but there was something sort of bare looking about the plate. Maybe a salad garnish would be nice.
With one dessert, a pint, two 00 Peronis and two coffees it came to around 100 euro. Staff were efficient and friendly.

O'Dooles Restaurant
Kildare
10/11/2025: Great to see a restaurant of this standard in Kildare. With the Hangman’s closed, we’ve been short of somewhere special locally, and O’Dooles has definitely stepped up. It’s a proper night-out spot – not just a pub meal.
We had a group of 15 last night and everything was excellent. Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the place is spotless. The wine list is well chosen and fairly priced, drinks looked great, and the food was full of flavour across all courses.
We also had a coeliac with us and the kitchen handled it perfectly – clear communication, careful preparation, and a gluten-free starter made fresh, which was very much appreciated.
It’s great to have somewhere like this on our doorstep in Kildare. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back.
07/11/2025: We had a really lovely experience in O'Dooles restaurant for my brother’s birthday.
The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing from start to finish.
Great cocktail menu and lovely bar area for a pre dinner drink. Margarita was fab.
The prawn starter was delish and the chickpea fritter to start was exceptional.
Everyone enjoyed the main courses the Seabass for me was perfect and so flavorsome and my brother was very happy with the Veal chop.
Desserts were great and the Cheeseboard - we are all still thinking about it!
Great atmosphere in the restaurant. We can’t wait to go back.
Thanks again to all the team at O’Dooles!

J J Mahon & Sons
Kildare
16/07/2025: What a true fantastic pub! Loved it and loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be back!
26/06/2025: Popped into JB Mahoney recently and honestly, what a find. It’s got that rare mix of proper character and a genuinely warm atmosphere that makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit.
The Guinness? Spot on, creamy, smooth, poured with care. You can tell they take pride in it, which is more than you can say for a lot of places. And if you haven’t tried the Algerian, you’re missing out – bold, rich, and absolutely delicious. A proper pint to remember.
The bar staff are brilliant, friendly, funny, and somehow manage to keep everything running smoothly even when it's packed. Even, the teachers chap I was speaking to inside.
JB Mahoney’s strikes that perfect balance: welcoming, down-to-earth, but with real quality behind the bar. Whether you're in for a quiet one or a few rounds with mates, this place just gets it right.

Top Nolan's
Kildare
24/12/2025: Only had drinks. Enjoyed the music.
18/10/2025: We stopped here for a nice Guinness in a unique pub atmosphere. The pub was lovingly decorated, with lovely little seating areas and an atmosphere reminiscent of the good old days. The parlor door was also a highlight, and the fireplace in the far corner made the pint taste twice as good.

Firecastle Kildare
Kildare
27/12/2025: This review is about the breakfast only.
I had the Full Fire earlier this year. It was mediocre but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and tried it again today. Sadly, there was no improvement.
Rashers - needed to be cooked more
Sausages - fine but not that hot
Scrambled egg - ok but not garnished.
Pudding - I know pudding is already cooked but on Firecastle it barely touches the pan so is extremely unappetising and cold.
Toast - underdone and cold.
Chips - the best thing.
Aside from the chips, everything else was either lukewarm or cold.
On a separate note, Firecastle's prepared meals (lasagne, meatballs etc) are excellent but the breakfast needs serious improvement. I remember when the place first opened, the full breakfast was very good, well-cooked and hot. Then they stopped doing it for a while.
22/12/2025: A very comfortable place, my favorite spot for coffee. Very friendly and good coffee right in Kildare town. It also has rooms, a cooking school, and catering.
