Squealing Pig
Monaghan
03/12/2023: I was recently barred for one night for merely touching a light fixture outside as I was talking to someone for 24 hours, which seems ridiculosuly excessive as I was literally touching them as lightly as possible in a passive way as I was talking to someone in the smoking area
(This is all on management as when I asked the bouncers about it they were told to bar me for the night due to this)
I know this review will hardly effect the rating, but it's the only way I feel I can properly vent my frustration with it's management.
Would not reccomend.
17/11/2023: “ An alright “pub/ restaurant with catchy name
My husband had
Deep fried brie was excellent.
Disappointing Pulled pork .. very dry and overly salted he had to order a dip sauce on the side because it was just too dry on it’s own. chicken wings and slow cocked ribs
We shared the dessert
And apple pie with ice cream
My food over all was alright. The apple pie though either the apples were over cooked or bought from the store … not sure they didn’t have a nice fresh bite
Love the side salads!
Well seasoned! That impressed me.
Staff is friendly
Atmosphere .. pub like cozy
Prices are reasonable ! Would I go again? Not sure . Maybe will try the fish? Will see

Shevlins
Carrickmacross
26/11/2023: The food is very good, service is brilliant
11/11/2023: Ridiculously high prices for below average food. The chef needs to learn that Beef Stroganoff is not a soup served with rice on the side. I have had better food for half the price in a pub on a Sunday afternoon.

Hillgrove Hotel Leisure Club
Monaghan
03/12/2023: I cannot fault this Hotel in any way. The rooms are big and airy, the beds are comfortable and service is efficient. We only had a one night stay, but despite the fact that the Hotel was full to capacity, we enjoyed a peaceful and restful night.
30/11/2023: Terrible Experience - Hillgrove Hotel Inferno
I cannot express enough how absolutely horrific my experience was at the Hillgrove hotel when it caught fire. It was a nightmare come true and completely ruined my stay.
Firstly, the lack of safety measures in the hotel is absolutely appalling. The fire alarms were either faulty or completely ignored by the staff. The fact that the fire spread so quickly and extensively throughout the building indicates a serious lack of fire safety precautions, and it's unacceptable.
Secondly, the staff's reaction was absolutely atrocious. Instead of calmly evacuating and assisting guests, they were panicking and running around like headless chickens. There seemed to be no training or protocols in place for emergencies. It was chaos, and their chaotic response put everyone's lives at risk.
Moreover, the hotel's management was extremely unhelpful and indifferent during the whole incident. They showed no empathy or concern for the guests' wellbeing. It felt like they were only worried about the damage to the property rather than the safety of their guests.
The lack of timely communication and updates during the event was also deeply distressing. We were left in the dark for hours, unsure if we were safe or what was happening. It was an anxiety-inducing experience that I will never forget.
To make matters worse, the aftermath of the fire was a complete disaster. The hotel offered no compensation or alternative accommodation options. We were left stranded, with our belongings gone and no assistance provided. It was a nightmare trying to sort out everything on our own.
I understand that accidents can happen, but the Hillgrove hotel's complete lack of preparedness and disregard for guest safety is inexcusable. I would highly advise anyone against staying at this hotel unless they make drastic changes to their safety protocols and train their staff accordingly. This was a horrific experience that could have been prevented with proper planning and care.

The Glencarn Hotel
Castleblayney legal
08/12/2023: Evening meal in the bar, everything was great, food was lovely and staff were excellent.
03/12/2023: I was on a business trip a few months back and stayed here. From the outside the hotel looks a bit old even from the corridors. But the rooms were quite modernized and clean. I have not checked out the recreational areas that the hotel offers but the Irish breakfast they served were superb and plentiful of fruits / cereal to take. It was a cozy stay overall.
