The best restaurants in Ballina

12/12/2025: Old world Irish pub. Management and staff always up for a bit of fun. Owner constantly trying to accomadate everyone and groups including organising outside food for partys/Hen/Stags. Great spot for watching sports and again if multiple games on at same time staff will try and have it on one of the multiple tv's.

08/12/2025: Nice local pub in Ballina. I'll definitely be back while in town

13/12/2025: This place felt like home. Live music, great service, cold beer. Graham the bartender really made us feel welcome. This was our favorite pub on our entire roadtrip on the Wild Atlantic Way

09/11/2025: Excellent Amaretto Sour. Place was cosy and friendly.

31/12/2025: Stunning place . Had a lovely night there.

31/10/2025: We had an incredible experience at the Ice House Hotel from start to finish. The riverside views are stunning, and the mix of modern design with the historic charm of the building is just beautiful. Our room was spotless, spacious, and had the most comfortable bed — plus that huge window overlooking the River Moy made it feel so peaceful. The staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely went out of their way to make our stay special. Dinner at the restaurant was outstanding — fresh local ingredients, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive. The spa was another highlight — relaxing, spotless, and the outdoor hot tubs by the river were a dream! We left feeling completely relaxed and pampered. Highly recommend the Ice House Hotel for anyone looking for a luxury getaway in a serene setting. We can’t wait to come back!

01/11/2025: Really disappointed with the customer service!

12/11/2025: I went once in a hurry, I've gone back for more. great food

11/10/2025: Great chippy!! Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. My group had fish and chips, which were served crispy and hot. Should’ve asked for the extra salt they offered for the fish, but it was still tasty. Other menu items include burgers, fried chicken, milkshakes, and a variety of chips.

20/11/2025: Enjoyed the food good and friendly staff and very efficient

11/11/2025: Really nice stay at Mount Falcon Hotel. The restaurant was a standout — much better than most hotel food. Overall, a great experience and good value for money.

26/09/2025: Sincere thanks to Staff for helping me when I missed a bus connection by a few seconds on Wednesday night last. I am an older person, using a walking stick, my phone was dead, and anyway I had no taxi numbers. It was late and it was dark. Staff were happy to call a taxi, they also offered the possibility of a lift as they had a delivery on my way home. I was delighted to accept a lift, I heard since that not all taxi's go out late.

05/07/2025: We were passing through Ballina. The kids wanted pizza and we chose Domino's. We waited 10 minutes and ate in the establishment. Neat and clean in the hall. The toilet is stellar. The pizza is very tasty! We will definitely come back to you again!

06/10/2025: Best coffee, treats, gifts and team in Mayo. Love it here. Always heavenly 💜💜💜

11/10/2025: Got a take away here last night after a road trip, had to travel another 25mins after collecting it. Food was still piping hot when I'd say down to eat it, the portion was bigger than other Chinese, and to top of off, the portion of chicken was unreal! And fresh, no chewy chicken like the lantern! Absolutely beautiful and nicely priced 🥰 Well done Team Ocean Palace!
