Courtyard Cafe at Birr Castle


Birr
12/07/2025: Very beautiful and big park for relaxation and walking. This is one of those places you should visit in Ireland. Also, this castle and areas are good for photo sessions.
10/07/2025: This was a visit to the 🏰. We'd a young lady called Sylvia, who's very knowledgeable about the 🏰 & grounds. she took us on a guided tour, altho you don't have to go for the tour, you can take yourselves around the grounds & look for yourself. the tour lasted about 90 minutes, a few of us had to stop, cause the walking was a bit much & there's no where to sit on the tour & I didn't see many round where we went. there's so many trees in the grounds, 1 of the very big trees is around 4/500 years old, the only way to know is to cut it down, which they don't want to do, obviously. 😄 it's an enormous place to be kept going, I'm sure she said how many grounds keepers were there, but I xant remember 😅 but there's 4? staff in the 'big' house. we're given time to walk back to the café where our driver (local community guard was waiting) some of the ladies wanted to see the gardens & flowers, unfortunately they couldn't get in to see the flowers, 😪 we split up, on the way back, some ladies were more agile, some of us took advantage of a seat on the way back. all in all it's a lovely place to visit, I'm sure it'd take a couple of days, to really walk the grounds. we're shown the biggest telescope that 1 of the Earls made for his interstellar We had a fascinating visit to the castle! 🌟 Sylvia's guided tour was very informative and engaging. The castle's grounds are very impressive, with those ancient trees being a highlight. 🌳 It's great that they're preserving them for future generations. The lack of seating during the tour might have been a bit challenging for some us, but it's lovely that we could take breaks and enjoy the scenery at your own pace. The gardens and flowers seemed like a lovely addition, though it's a shame some of the ladies couldn't access them. The telescope was an interesting piece of history! 🔭 In the early 1840’s, the Third Earl of Rosse designed and built the largest telescope in the world - The Great Telescope (also known as The Leviathan of Parsonstown). With this telescope, he discovered the spiral nature of galaxies, and from 1845-1914 this remained the largest telescope in the world! Standing at an impressive 72 feet long with a mirror measuring 6 feet in diameter, (there were 2 mirrors, so that when one mirror was being cleaned they had one spare theyd use, the telescope was not just a scientific instrument, but a symbol of human curiosity and innovation, built using cutting-edge engineering techniques of its time. I wouldn't like to have been 1 of the men having to hand turn the telescope, for the earl. 😆 when the telescope was refurbished they tried to salvage anything they could from the 🔭 & surrounding walls were taken apart, fixed & put together with the original pieces, they'd to change some bits. The bricks of the walls surrounding the 🔭 were numbered, taken out of the wall, cleaned & put back in the same place it'd have been taken out off!!! Overall, the castle is a wonderful place to explore, and it would take a couple of days to fully appreciate the grounds. 😊

Cristiano's Pizza Parlour


Birr
02/10/2024: Recently moved to Birr and have found this to be the best pizza by far. I was in to pick up our pizzas for what was maybe our 4th order in two months. I dropped one while walking out and they replaced it without charge right away. Unquestionably excellent service on top of epic pizzas. Unreservedly recommended.
29/08/2024: We were told so many good things about their pizza we absolutely had to check it out! We had some questions, which were all answered, and that was a big help because we weren’t sure what to order. So we got a surprise pizza and it was amazing! The dough was just perfect, and it took less than 10 minutes. Definitely recommend!

Kellys Bar


Birr
07/07/2025: Was here today from a trip to Dublin, The older staff at the front of the restaurant were lovely and welcoming, but our young lady the server was very rude, unwelcoming, didn’t know what food was available made us feel uncomfortable when we asked what sauce came with the chicken wings, and when we asked for a glass of water she replied “a jug” in a rude tone. Which we never received. Food was nice but felt the sever let the place down.
18/06/2025: Went here on recommendation of host in b&b. Unfortunately (still) no live music. A cozy old-fashioned pub.... Nice seats. Indeed recommended

Xi Visitors


Birr
05/04/2025: Food is decent, but recently in the last few weeks waiting times are very inconvenient, tonight has topped this though. don’t tell customers 15 minutes and have them waiting for 30+ minutes after making a call. Young girl behind the counter clearly distressed and when I asked to speak to management which I seen a few minutes prior, she went into the back and they wouldn’t come out and speak to me. Offered me to leave a phone number but that said enough. I’ll be spending my money elsewhere
22/02/2025: Server was incredibly talented, handsome and inspiring

Kong Lam


Birr
05/07/2025: Ordered take away. Menu says "Includes boiled rice, fried rice or chips 50c extra" Was charged an extra €1 on the menu price. When I queried this the cashier said it was for the rice. I explained I got boiled rice. She did not seem to grasp the concept of Includes meaning it is INCLUDED in the price quoted and that that the 50c is if you have Fried Rice or Chips. I did not bother arguing over the €1. I will just vote with my feet and go elsewhere. This must be the only Chinese takeaway in Ireland that charges extra for boiled rice that is already Included in the price.
10/06/2025: Very good food and the staff are lovely
