The Lakeside Hotel and Leisure Centre
Ballina
17/07/2026: Attended a wedding here. No management presence, ramshackle service, untrained staff. When you see staff using floor brushes to 'sweep' the bar counter top it's not a good sign. Food no better. It's in a beautiful location with a well attended garden and a great, comfortable space inside. Wouldn't take much for it to really shine and be worth the price tag.
31/05/2026: Lovely staff and beautiful location

03/07/2026: Great atmosphere there with the live music & the world cup.
And a mighty creamy pint is always welcome.
31/05/2026: Pubs worth visiting! Staff are efficient and friendly and prices are reasonable. We happened to visit during a trad session during the music festival. There was a fab buzz about!

Tuscany Bistro
Ballina
17/08/2026: Excellent Italian food . Cooked to perfection with fresh herbs . Cannoli for dessert was exceptional. Service was also excellent , friendly and efficient. Price was reflective of the quality of food . All said, an excellent meal . Second year visiting here on holiday.
03/08/2026: Disappointing experience. Food was okay, for starters we got the chilli and like prawns and chicken wings which were okay, nothing to rave about. Bruschetta rossa was gorgeous. Pizza was good, we got the lasagna - too much tomato sauce, would not recommend, chips were nice. For dessert we got biscoff cheesecake, which was very disappointing, the lack of biscoff involved in the whole dish was unbelievable. Tasted more like a brownie. Our waiter wasn’t very friendly throughout the meal. Disappointing experience.

Ballina
11/06/2026: I lived in this town for a few months. These people were so kind and generous and made me feel at home every time I had to work late and needed an easy (but delicious and cheap) dinner. A real asset to a town full of rich boaties. Thank you Veronika!
04/05/2026: Really awful undercooked chips and tasteless sausages. Bland and inedible

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

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.
