Rouse's Bar
Ballina
07/06/2026: Traveled through the West of Ireland and when I arrived in Ballina, I walked around town in the evening. Asked around for trad and got told to go to Rouse's. Went in for just a pint, left 4 hours later. Everybody was very friendly, I loved the atmosphere, had great chats and even got invited to sing. It felt very communal and like most knew each other - but I still felt very much included. Had one of the best nights I've had in Ireland so far. Thanks so much!
30/05/2026: What can I say its a fabulous pub very well kept great staff ie owner super clean well worth a visit i loved it ps a great pint of Guinness

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 Kitchen, Mount Falcon Estate
Ballina
19/06/2026: Went for a falcon tour and it was absolutely amazing. Daniel was an exceptional guide and host.
10/06/2026: Met with Daniel and was given a little lesson on the birds of prey. We held a little falcon. And got up close to a big owl named gandolf, a snow owl named snowy, a barn owl named Ashley that had the softest feathers, and met our walking companion hunter the hawk. Daniel lead us on a small walk through the woods switching wearing the falconry glove as hunter swooped after us. Daniel was a wonderful, informative, and enthusiastic guide! Would definitely recommend this experience!!
