23/06/2026: The food is amazing! The service is amazing! The best staff—especially Milana, she is incredible!

23/06/2026: Does what it says on the box, decent chipper

24/06/2026: Best pub in town the food is so good

03/06/2026: Hi, so let’s start with I own a pub in a neighbouring town. I have been here twice, this is a fantastic pub. The food and service would match anywhere. I felt compelled to give it a great rating. It’s just very good at what it does, I would recommend this to anyone. Michael Scully Sq Bar Portlaoise

28/06/2026: Had our medal award ceremony for local teen football team in The Anvil, the staff were friendly and kind to the players, food was excellent, premises were ideal for this purpose and they allowed us in beforehand to decorate etc. Food was lovely, all attendees highly complimentary and I could not recommend a better place for an event such as this, thank you to all in The Anvil for a great day.

23/06/2026: Popped in on a Tuesday night hoping to get food. The very attentive barmaid said that food stopped at 4pm. She was really helpful suggesting various places including Treacy's at The Heath. Thanks for the suggestion. It was fantastic. Will drop in to your pub next time we're in the area.

20/12/2025: You won’t get a nicer breakfast in town. The full Irish is a proper feed. The club sandwich is also lovely. And massive. At Christmas they do a festive club which is unreal. I’ve only recently deviated from my usual orders or either a breakfast or a club sandwich. Tried the loaded fries (pictured above). Sweet Jesus. What a feed. The belly buster burger is a sight to behold. Check out the pic. You'll need a lie down after it. Big credit to the staff also. You get service you only would from a family run business. A big welcome, bitta chat and craic, and efficient quick service. Port is lucky to have Eddie’s in town

01/09/2025: Fantastic full irish breakfast! We were dying on our way home from Electric Picnic, stopped in here for some breakfast, walked out like whole new women. 10/10 recommend and the staff are lovely!

21/11/2025: They have a good variety of outdoor plants and trees but less indoor plants. The Antique store and garden equipments are good.

16/11/2025: If you're looking for the unusual this place is worth a visit. Lots of vintage memorabilia but also garden and furniture centre. Also restaurant

03/07/2026: Love this restaurant, lovely family run business, food is top quality 10/10. Great service with a smile and very reasonable prices

22/06/2026: Sunny Father's day, everywhere fully booked so we went with Eddie's based on reviews, but definitely not the experience we were expecting. We opted to sit outside as it was sunny - it wasn't presentable: duck tape in the middle of the table, presumably to keep the table cloth down - looked awful. sat on the bench and nearly went through it because it was half broken. Went to get a chair from another table and the whole area was full of cobwebs. Everything is very old, could do with a much needed revamp. Clearly stated beer on the father's Day menu but only serving Coors Light and 2 non-alcoholics - pointless to say beer, just put down Coors. Oddly enough, we saw wine in the "cold drinks" menu, asked for "beer" to be substituted with wine. Came out in massive gin glass, and miniature wine bottles, like the ones on a Ryanair flight - very odd, but not a bother. Boneless wing on the father's menu but the main menu clearly stated "chicken wings". Which the waitress also read back to us, but 2 portions of boneless wings came out. Food was mediocre: boneless wings tasted like nuggets. Steak absolutely tasteless, and looked like a cheap ateak out of Tesco. Was closer to well done than medium I asked for. Tough to cut through. Crispy prawns were over cooked - we were given another few because apparently the chef said the were over cooked - weird that they would get sent out in that case. Apple pie pastry had a very sandy texture. Only thing nice was the cheese sauce. I'm far from a fussy eater, so I eat my food without complaints. But for the money, I can't recommend this place. Staff were decent.

14/12/2025: :-) A lovely, always charged and friendly atmosphere. Super attentive staff.

19/11/2025: Old authentic Irish Pub, no frills or fancy stuff, just character & crack.
