Bovine
Portlaoise
18/01/2026: Nicely decorated restaurants stone walls and ceiling beams,wasn't impressed by the service ! We were waiting 20mins to be even asked for our orders thats criminal !! ,no offer of jug of water or titbits to nibble on as you wait.The food itself was ok the burger is super thin you get 2 on your bun to try make it look decent,the fries were average, also what put me off returning here is the noise of the music blaring I feel like you're competing with the racket playing while trying to have a conversation.
13/01/2026: A but chilly inside but the food was great

Morrisey's
Abbeyleix
04/05/2026: I am 55 years old and I have frequented thousands of pubs in my life, I can say without hesitation that Morrisey's is the best pub that I have ever been in.
The Guinness is lovely (which is usually a good indicator),the pub itself is immaculately clean, the restrooms are elegant and tastefully designed.
the Lady behind the counter (Orla) is more than professional, Orla knew when to engage in conversation and when to leave people alone, she was friendly and welcoming and happy to explain the history of the pub. I 100% recommend popping into this beautiful pub
01/04/2026: Absolutely amazing pub , the Guinness was 10/10 ,very friendly pub , full of history.

Portlaoise
16/10/2025: We were visiting family and went there for something to eat. From getting there it felt like we were welcome. We got our table and Danni Kennedy served us. She was very welcoming and friendly. It just felt that she could not do enough for us. The food was excellent and very tasty.
16/10/2025: Went to Jeremiah’s over the weekend, lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere. We got served by Danni who was very friendly and professional, a credit to your business.

Eddie Rocket's
Portlaoise
03/05/2026: The service was excellent. My nachos were very very nice. However the malt milkshakes have gotten VERY small. A large is €6+ and fills only two very small glasses. They aren't as nice as they used to be.
Definitely a once in a while choice of place to eat as it's gotten quite expensive. Cannot fault the restaurant itself at all.
01/04/2026: The food is always delicious, my only complaint is that it takes them a long time to serve food. But the taste of the food always makes up for the wait. Make sure you get an Oreo milkshake,it's worth it.

Kellys Steakhouse
Portlaoise
10/04/2026: Amazing food, steak is spot on everytime. Staff are exceptional
02/04/2026: This is a wonderful place to eat, portions are filling and the quality is outstanding. Take your budget and throw it out the window because you will be spending a pretty penny, but if you have a special occasion or really want to treat yourself it is worth it. The menu has evolved over the years and I am happy to say that I have enjoyed every change.
Staff are wonderful and professional, they really help to craft and facilitate an outstanding experience whatever the occasion.

The Heritage Golf Resort
Killenard
28/04/2026: A huge hotel with absolutely nothing to do, super boring.
Cons
1. The description says there's a golf club, but you can't walk around it; it's for members only.
2. There's a small, cold pool and a dirty jacuzzi with a liter of chlorine in the water, so much so that it makes your eyes water. It's a sad sight... There's a sauna, but it's in the locker room. What's the point? They forced us to buy swimming caps, while locals brought their children swimming capless and were by the pool in dirty street shoes.
3. In room 111, the coffee maker didn't work, the heating and heated towel rail weren't fixed until the morning; there was no repairman... and we only stayed one night. The beds were okay.
4. Overpriced lunches and dinners. This isn't central Dublin. A burger can't cost €25 and champagne €160. I didn't like the food, and breakfast was meager, like in a school cafeteria. The greasy omelette was so greasy I couldn't finish it. It's no wonder the reviews on Trip Advisor are 2.8. I completely agree.
Pros: Polite, well-trained staff.
Well done.
Honestly, I wouldn't go back a second time.

21/04/2026: Fabulous hotel with friendly and attentive staff. The food was unbelievable and the amenities were amazing. Would highly recommend staying here and we I will be back again. The walking track around the golf course was fabulous for a post breakfast stroll.
Be sure to book the spa early as it is very popular.
