The Harvest Bar
Balbriggan
12/12/2025: Love this pub. Super friendly staff and good crowd, mix of all ages. Big but still feels cosy and intimate, with lots of seating and little nooks and crannies. Great pint of Guinness and nice pub chow. Music is lively but not so loud you can't talk over it, and very comfortable smoking area. Recommended!
30/11/2025: Had a delish burger with amazing wedges here. Staff and atmosphere are warm. Prices are reasonable. Pay them a visit!

Pallas Foods
Newcastle west
28/11/2025: Best coffee both drinking and beans, they sell items you'll find hard to get elsewhere like Kerry hands made stem ginger and syrup, herbal tea, all manner of health foods, a big plus is they know what there talking about and it's so friendly the only downside is at certain times it's very busy.
14/11/2025: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, I've been here a few times and its always top class.

Matt Ryan Bar
Malahide
13/01/2026: My husband and I had a very disappointing meal and experience at the Grand Hotel on a weekday afternoon.
I had received a voucher while recovering from an illness, so this visit was meant to be a quiet and special celebration for us both.
We arrived before 3pm and were served soup at around 3pm, which was only lukewarm, but we ate it. After that, we waited approximately 45 minutes with no sign of our main courses and no staff anywhere near our table to ask for an update. The restaurant was not busy, with many empty tables.
I eventually had to get up and speak to a supervisor, who was apologetic.
At 4.10pm — over an hour after the soup — two main courses arrived, both seabass, despite us having ordered one fish and one beef dish. At that point we should have left, but we stayed. The fish was cold, though my husband ate it. My beef arrived even later, after my husband had finished eating. The roast beef was also cold, poorly presented, and unappetising. I could only manage half.
The supervisor apologised again and offered complimentary coffee and dessert, which we appreciated.
Sadly, the experience did not end there. The following day, both my husband and I became unwell with symptoms consistent with food poisoning - vomiting and diarrhoea, which was extremely upsetting.
I am giving one star solely for the supervisor’s professionalism. Everything else was deeply disappointing, and we will not be returning or recommending the restaurant.
The delays, incorrect orders, cold food, and lack of staff presence strongly suggest problems with organisation, staffing, timing, and kitchen standards, which I believe management should urgently review. A four-star rating for this restaurant is difficult to justify.
13/01/2026: I love this hotel. I’ve been a lover of Malahide for a long time but never stayed here until now. I stayed in an Exec Sea View Room, and while the room is kind of dated, I don’t mean that in a negative way. It was not in any way faded or in need of an upgrade, it was clean, elegant, with old world charm. A very comfortable bed, nice Rituals products in bathroom, chocolates and water and a gorgeous corner view of the sea. The staff are wonderful, a warm welcome at reception and in all of the bars and restaurants.
The lobby area has a wonderful ambience, warm colours and vibe, busy with customers enjoying afternoon teas, I was told it’s recently been refurbished and they’ve done an excellent job as you could spend all day in here happily.
The Marksman bar is also very inviting, can imagine spending a couple of hours in here with cocktails with great atmosphere and lighting.
And you are right on the coast for a lovely walk along the sea or a couple of minutes from the main town which has lots to offer.
I always like to stay in Malahide rather than Dublin centre, you are only 20/25 mins away by taxi if you want to go and only 12 minutes from the airport. It’s perfect and I can’t wait to return again. It’s a gem.

Premier Inn Dublin Airport hotel
Swords
12/01/2026: The hotel itself is modern, clean, and visually impressive for the price. Rooms are spotless, beds are comfortable, and front office staff are friendly. Secure parking is available at €12 per day, which is acceptable and it's a very good parking with 24/7 CCTV ideal for a vehicle lover. However, the restaurant experience at Dinner was the negative part of our stay. The food quality was average at best, and the portion sizes were shockingly small for the prices charged. I ordered a Chicken Makhani curry that was meant to be served with rice. It arrived with roughly five small pieces of chicken and an insultingly small amount of rice (Handful). I wonder weather they wanted me to have the curry as a soup ? Chapathi was listed as an add-on but was barely a piece you could enjoy. When I asked for additional rice because the portion was clearly inadequate, I was charged an extra €3.80 for a small handful of plain boiled rice.
My son was encouraged to order the two-course option for €8. We ordered a beef burger with skin-on chips, followed by a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. The dessert never arrived. When inquired the service representative informed the kitchen is closed but said she will try , but stated not sure. Thinking I will not be charged, I said it ok.But was charged the full amount. We were told the kitchen was closed, despite having a confirmed reservation and being seated at 9:30 p.m. Why would they take a dinner reservation if they are closing the kitchen at 10.00 p.mband closing the billing ? We were informed we could not order anything additional because the bill had to be closed by 10:00 p.m. and the restaurant would shut. This is completely unacceptable and not what any guest should expect after making a reservation.
Breakfast we booked are selves with the unlimited and rushed in by 9.00 a.m simply because we didn't want to be told the breakfast was over since we came at 10.00 a.m. But to be very frank the breakfast was very good.
In summary, while the hotel itself is good, and would recommend for short or long stays, the restaurant service is very poor, poorly managed outside Breakfast hours and offers terrible value for money. I strongly do not recommend dining here under any circumstances other than breakfast.
09/01/2026: Hotel close enough to the airport, very nice staff.

The Harp Bar
Swords
04/01/2026: We arrived as a party of 4 adults and 1 child on Saturday evening.We we're promptly seated and treated extremely well by the staff in a professional and courteous manner. The food was excellent and all plates were served together. Based on this visit we would have no hesitation in making a return trip...especially for the wings & ribs
01/01/2026: I’m reviewing Envy Club, located beneath K Sixty Seven and run by the same management.
After returning from New Year’s Eve, my initial overall impression of the club would normally be 3.5/5 (or 4/5 if not for the very young crowd, mostly aged 19–25).
However, due to what happened last night, my final rating is 2/5. I may revise it in the future.
The main issue is cloakroom management — or rather, the complete lack of resources and planning. There is only one cloakroom window for the entire club, located in a very narrow corridor, which is already a poor setup.
While it was clear at entry that this could become a problem, what happened at 2:30 AM at closing time can only be described as chaos: panic, frustration, zero crowd control, and no meaningful organization.
When I left the main room at 2:30 to collect my jacket, there was already a long queue. I was surprised when a security guard redirected people away from the natural queueing side (closer to the main room) and told us to line up on the exit side instead. This later turned out to be a mistake, and one of the guards even admitted it contributed to the chaos.
In reality, there were two queues leading to a single cloakroom window, plus a group of people pushing directly at the counter between them. All of this took place in a tight corridor, so physical altercations were inevitable.
Security staff repeatedly intervened to break up fights, but no one actually controlled the queues. There was no discipline, no prevention of pushing or cutting in line, and no clear authority. The queues simply “lived their own life.”
It is unacceptable that a club of this size cannot organize something as basic as coat collection, especially when it creates real safety risks and extreme discomfort for guests. At one point, I genuinely thought I wouldn’t get out until morning.
I overheard one security guard say to another:
“What can you do? There’s nothing you can do here.”
And unfortunately, that perfectly summed up the situation and the level of crowd control on display.

Taste Of The Med
Malahide
02/12/2025: Excellent speciality coffee, Friendly staff, love their Acai
07/07/2025: I really like Taste of the Med. The menu is expansive, with a specialist menu for health. Every food allergy can be catered for. Coffee is good here. The staff are consistently excellent. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to leave an electronic tip. Only cash, if you happen to have some on you. I hope the management rectify this issue as quickly as possible, it’s completely unfair to the ground staff. Sara was running around making sure everyone was attended to. During a particularly busy day, a concert in the castle day, she was excellent. I could see the frustration of customers when they couldn’t add a tip to their card payment. Those passing through won’t come back with cash to tip a young person. At least I could. I have older kids so this issue really bugs me as they need the money for college life. I missed seeing Kirsten there, she’s another wonderful member of staff from my previous visits!

Gilbert & Wright
Malahide
01/12/2025: Place was lovely toilets not attended to at night packed with Xmas parties everyone merry except the staff who barely smiled and looked like they don't want to be there
30/11/2025: No pictures taken as the food was looking amazing, couldn’t help it! The waitress was super friendly and attentive. We sat next to the kitchen and could see all product was fresh and was done at the moment (for example the burgers) Will come back go sure!

The Chalk Bar
Swords
14/01/2026: Great NYE night out, excellent staff! Came here for New Year's Eve 2025 with my girlfriend and her friends. Good spot for a big night out.
The bar staff were surprisingly attentive and friendly, which is rare these days, especially on such a busy night. Big shoutout to the bouncers too. Fair prices for drinks, nice venue with a good setup.
The only downside is that it was VERY overcrowded inside. There was a massive line all the way down the road to get in, so you need to get there early on big nights. Overall, a solid night despite the squeeze.

Butlers Chocolate Café
14/01/2026: Excellent hot chocolate and coffee
Nice place never miss before flight ☕
08/01/2026: I was traveling from Dublin to Amsterdam on Saturday 3 January. It was the first time for my wife to travel with a hidden disability. I asked the staff if it was at all possible to lower the volume of the music. They actually turned the music off! Butlers's staff really made my wife's day. Thank you very much, you did more than we asked and thought was possible.

Yummy!Yummy!Chinese Take Away
Swords
25/10/2025: Yummy Yummy? More like Runny Runny!
Looks like I have to leave this review since they ignored my private message to them. I wanted to give them a chance to fix their problem but they don't care so here goes.
Ordered a 4 in 1 and some deep fried wontons one Friday night 2 weeks ago. Started projectile vomiting 3 hours after the last bite of half of the 4 in 1. Had nothing else to eat that day since the morning so it was definitely the food from Yummy Yummy that caused it. As you can imagine, uncontrollable vomiting was not the only issue I had for 24 hours after I ate the food, but I'll spare everyone the gory details. Picture attached of the message I sent to give them a chance to explain themselves.
24/10/2025: Lovely take away. Nice staff, tasty fresh foos. Thank you

Jones Garden Centre & Mrs. Jones Farm Kitchen
05/08/2025: We had a lovely lunch at Jones today.
Honey glazed ham with good portions.
Lunch for two with Coca-Cola for two.
€37.00 Good price for what we got.
Only Negative not much for young children.
23/06/2025: I had a deeply disappointing experience at Jones Farm Shop and Cafe recently. After a very underwhelming lunch where the sandwich bread was stale and the quiche was overheated and rock hard, I bought chocolate macarons from their food shop.
Shockingly, after my daughter ate three of the macarons, she got sick. When we got home, we discovered the reason, the macarons were almost a month out of date. Selling expired food is completely unacceptable, especially from a place that presents itself as a quality farm shop.
I will not be returning, and I STRONGLY urge others to check what they’re being sold if they choose to shop here, expired food should never end up in a customer’s hands.

Wrights of Howth
17/09/2025: Double espresso and ham & cheese panini at Dublin Airport. The sweet tangy mustard makes it. Absolutely delicious!
02/09/2025: I spent 7.95 euro on a chicken tikka wrap. Absolutely no flavour at all. Utter waste of money. I would never purchase again from shop. I wasn't expecting miracles but a half decent wrap would have been most welcome.
