18/08/2026: Great Pub, classy atmosphere, kind service and really nice food. I walked in without a reservation and the waiter was very accomodating. Thank God for that as I was very hungry. I ordered a burger .. Dillons burger and a local beer. Both were great. The prices are pretty standard as everywhere.

Merry Monk
Ballina
13/07/2026: First class in every way, food, drink hospitality and friendly brilliant. An example of a good establishment.
12/07/2026: We wanted to stop here for a light lunch. Firstly, we were ignored and not greeted. When we asked if they only offered a buffet, the waitress grumpily replied, "Only sandwiches." I asked if they also didn't have fish and chips (since she was carrying some on her plate), and the answer was "no." We then drove on. We won't be back; the service was very unfriendly.
