It’s a regular place for us when we visit family in Killaloo
31/10/2025: The Goosers Bar and Restaurant is located ib Ballina, Co. Tipperary on the shores of Lough Derg. We were greeted warmly by the Restaurant manager and although we didn't have a reservation a cosy table was found for us. A Well priced menu with lots of choice to be enjoyed in cosy surroundings. We're looking forward to a return visit...

The Lakeside Hotel and Leisure Centre
Ballina
26/11/2025: Amazing stay that we've made into our annual tradition for our son's birthday... a very special thanks to the wonderful staff and especially the people at the breakfast area who went above and beyond to make sure we're happy... Thank you Rahman Manghal and all the other great team at The Lakeside Hotel
30/08/2025: I had the pleasure of staying at the Lakeside Hotel, Killaloe this past weekend.
I absolutely loved the experience — the hotel is beautifully set right on the banks of the River Shannon, offering stunning views not only of the majestic river itself but also of the striking Saint Flannan’s Cathedral, which truly stands out as a beacon of beauty.
A special word of thanks goes to Helen Mooney, Rehman (the breakfast manager), Muireann, and Maya, whose warmth and attentiveness made my stay both memorable and welcoming.

Brian Boru on the Hill
Ballina
12/10/2025: I will start off by saying food is ok and most of the staff are polite and friendly especially a curly haired waitress. However, an older woman with a bob hairstyle let them down with a bang, we were there for Sunday lunch and from the moment we walked in we were berated and treated like second class citizens. I am a care staff in a home for adults with intellectual disabilities so when we go out for lunch, each meal has to be paid for individually. As we are repeat customers this fact is known by staff before we even sit down to eat and although the bill came to nearly €150 we were very rudely told that in future to ring ahead as they are very busy. I was shocked as this establishment advertise themselves as being open to walk ins but apparently that doesn’t extend to us. Needless to say we won’t be returning.
06/09/2025: Our favorite pub in Ballina — and not just for the Guinness. Brian Boru is a locals’ favorite with some of the best pub food we’ve had in Ireland. The seafood chowder with brown bread, bangers and mash, chicken bacon Caesar, and chicken vol-au-vent were all outstanding.
Michael, the owner, and Klyde, the barman, are extraordinarily welcoming (even by Irish standards), and the regulars are as interesting as they are interested in you. We visited often and can’t recommend it enough.

Boruma Gastro Bar
Ballina
19/08/2025: We had lunch in the his bar and found it average at best, we were upstairs over looking the bridge, the view was good but the seating was old, with damaged tember and very uncomfortable, this bar/restaurant would need to take advantage of their location and give the place a well needed makeover.
The staff were very friendly and the food was fresh.
06/07/2025: Food was terrible, worst burger I ever had

21/07/2025: Horrible food, disgusting place, I lost money and the food too🤮🤮🤮
22/06/2025: It's just okay. Fine if you need a bite late night. No where near enough cheese on cheese chips. Go to Mario's much better.

Mills Bar
Ballina
13/07/2025: Staff have a lot to learn in terms of customer service .
Also cleanliness of the glasses and cutlery left alot to be desired. I picked up 5 glasses before I got one that was reasonable clean. I opted to drink from the bottle instead.
Cutlery was wet or had water marks on it and hadn't been polished.
These are basic things.
Food was OK but its just microwavable food.

Wild Fig Foods
Ballina
10/08/2025: Homemade, delicious cakes and brownies that can be purchased by the slice. We dropped by the Milk Market expecting the normal food vendors but forgot only on Sat. Were disappointed until we found this cafe. Carrot and black forest cakes enjoyed as takeaway after dinner. Wow, best we've ever had here. Highly recommend!!!
