Dillons
Ballina
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.
13/08/2026: Delicious food, very wide selection. The satay and sea bass are delicious. Highly recommended! Friendly service and a great atmosphere.

Boho Barista
Ballina
25/08/2026: Some of the best coffee I've ever had.
Lovely spot. Takeaway only but nice bench outside.
23/08/2026: Our regular Saturday coffee spot 🤤🩷 love Boho!!
Their pastries, coffee, and the whole cosy atmosphere are just too good. The location is such a calm little spot to sit, slow down, and kick-start your day. Such a cute place right next to Ballina Quay, with the friendliest staff!!
One of those little places that makes an ordinary Saturday morning feel a bit more special. 🩷☕️

The Everest
Ballina
18/08/2026: Mediocre food - lamb jalfrezi was not spicy / hot for me . Good nan bread . Same as the rest of Indian restaurants in Ireland , cook better at home
16/08/2026: Recently went to The Everest Nepalese
Restaurant in Ballina and had a good experience. We tried the Butter Chicken, Everest Special, butter naan, kids meals and a few other items from the menu that I can’t recall the names. The food was tasty, portions were good, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. If you're Asian or looking for food that suits an Asian taste palate, this is a nice place to try in Ballina.

The Auld Shebeen (Betty's)
Ballina
15/08/2026: Stayed in the apartments. The staff are very welcoming and the regulars are friendly. The apartment all through was spotless. I had a decent weeks sleep until Thursday night. Should've gone sleep early ready for work. Got woke up half eleven twelve. Status Quo, The Cranberries all sorts. A live band downstairs. I ended up at 1 o'clock in the morning having a crafty ciggy at my bathroom window singing Cher, "Do you believe in life after love"
04/08/2026: Great little pub with friendly customers and dog friendly took our 2 greyhounds in again this year.

11/04/2026: Ate here a few times when staying in Ballina. The food is good with big portions. Owners are gossips though. They are very nosy and talk about customers which isn't professional
