The best restaurants in Béal an mhuirthead

05/01/2025: What can I say 🤷 this place was just amazing. Came to stay in the area for 2 days and came here on both nights for dinner and to watch the semis and final of the darts. Arrived Thursday just in time for semis the bar man Brian was an absolute gentleman 👏 🙌. The atmosphere was just so relaxing and beautiful decor. The food on night one 😋 👌 sea food platter out of this world. Fish and chips was so crispy and mouth watering bbq wings so tasty.. steak sandwich on piont.. desserts were yum. 2nd night thought it couldn't be topped from night one but boy was I wrong... sea food chowder best i ever had. Then had pasta with cream sauce and chorizo comes with prawns which I am not a fan of and they were so accommodating to let me have chicken instead of prawns. Just absolutely delicious. Food of beef roast, or honey garlic chicken and chicken dry something sorry can't remember that dish full name but were all outstanding and generous portions too. What can I say about the staff all servers were so polite and attentive on both evenings. I could not fault the service. 10 out of 10. I would highly recommend this spot and I most certainly will be back again. I would like to thank all staff chefs, barmen and servers for a truly wonderful 😊 experience 😀

27/12/2024: I had a starter here this evening. I had a beef chill nachos for starter, it had loads of nachos and one spoon of beef mince. (Only mince on top in middle, none underneath). I let the staff know that it was such a small amount of beef, but it seems this is the usual for this dish. Don't get this starter as it's embarrassing ascits so bad.

06/12/2024: Had the best evening of our round trip at McDonnells!!! Very, very friendly owner who greeted us with a handshake. You immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere is rustic - that's how I imagined a pub in Ireland. The highlight was the vocal performance with guitar accompaniment. Absolutely amazing! So if you're mobile and in the area, definitely stop by McDonnells, you definitely won't be disappointed.

11/11/2024: Very friendly welcome by the landlord. People singing old songs is a delight. Landlord is a hoot.

25/08/2024: Good pub, pool table, and good vibe drink price was ok.

13/08/2024: Nice pub, great atmosphere and live music

02/01/2025: Nice setting. The BBQ Wings are very good and very plentiful, The Cajun chiken wrap excellent. The classic acceptable club sandwich, nothing more. The soup too salty for our taste

02/01/2025: We stayed here last weekend for 2nights & had a lovely time. The food was delicious, the staff welcoming, the hotel is spotless & beautifully decorated & we loved the wooden flooring in the rooms. The breakfast room was magical also. One minor point - we would have liked a change of towels & bathroom floor mat for the second night however as the shower door was leaking slightly so the bathroom floor mat was soaked. Room 5.

30/12/2024: Was in Belmullet visiting relatives and popped in for a few beers. The Guinness was the best I've tasted and Linda is so welcoming

25/01/2025: We were part of a 30 person stag from Westport that visited Belmullet and had the pleasure of dining in the Western Strands. Even though we were over an hour delayed in arriving, the staff were super accommodating and patient with us. The food was exemplary with the staff super friendly and helpful. Thanks to David and all at the team at the Western Strands for having us. Highly recommend!

26/08/2024: Very friendly staff especially Denise
