The best restaurants in Moate

12/07/2025: I was visiting Ireland and staying in Moate whilst recerching my ancestry. I came across P Eagans bar whilst out with my dog. Paul and his staff welcomed me with such warmth and dedication. I have no reservations on recommendations for this wonderful traditional Irish pub. Thankyou Paul & staff for making my stay and very rememberable. Paul & Annie.

13/04/2025: I visited several pubs in Moate and this was my favorite! The bar keep, Paul, was top notch! He even had candy for my kids! Very kind!

25/05/2025: Love Peader's Bar, staff and customers are always so friendly! Have stopped here twice over the years mainly because they are pet friendly and have a massive beer garden out the back. Can't wait to come back.

27/08/2025: What a wonderful place to stop on the Dublin ~ Galway ~ Dublin run. Really convenient for on and off the motorway too. An amazing toasted sandwich with a big mug of tea for just over €8 ! Staff very friendly and chatty, premises scrupulously clean. A few small tables and chairs outside, ideal for people watching on Moate's fascinating main street. Looks like it's popular with local schoolgoers too, always a good sign.

07/06/2025: I had the best muffin of my life

03/10/2025: Food was great, the staff are so friendly and attentive. Really reasonably priced menu with good options.

26/09/2025: We had the soup of the day, caprese sandwich, cesare salad and all were brilliant.

27/07/2025: Below average experience. The food is ok. Portion size is absolutely terrible. Been here a few times but the last time was the final straw. Came here one day when it was busy, was just popping in with 3 friends to get a pint and be ok our way. There was a few people looking for seats so I approached the bar and asked the guy (mid 40’s?) about just sitting at the bar for a pint and he was absolutely foul mannered. He said “why don’t you join the queue like everyone else trying to get a table in here” I love locally and this bar/restaurant is quite close to me, many occasions I choose to go elsewhere for food and drinks. In this day and age that behaviour is unacceptable That episode, along with the overpriced menu and small food portion sizes and that barman’s behaviour ultimately made my decision on the palace. Couple weeks later “the shack” came up in conversation with different friends suggesting places to eat; I shut it down. Funnily enough one of the people in the group said that they ordered food weeks earlier and the same guy was intimidating to her because she didn’t eat her food and was pushing for answers, she was hungover and explained nothing was wrong with it. Won’t be returning, and I’ll be telling others the same story.

18/07/2025: Great atmosphere, delicious food, great drinks, and friendly personable service. Wife and I visited Athlone from the UK and were so glad we came here for lunch, highly recommend.

21/08/2025: A very nice atmosphere with soft lighting, typical Irish decor, Western-style doors, and carefully crafted dishes and presentation! Top notch! The food is delicious and very generous; we had a hard time finishing our dishes! The staff is welcoming, friendly, and full of humor! I recommend it if you're passing through!

12/08/2025: Food was lovely and staff friendly just a lovely atmosphere

27/08/2025: The course was grand, not great but not the worst. Strange layout, especially when it came to holes 7-9. From viewing the tee times online it appeared to be pretty free, so we were looking forward to enjoying a comfortable round. When we got down there it was jammed. Waiting to tee off on every hole, having to play through, the worst experience I've ever had with slow play and a lot of reluctance from groups ahead to let quicker players play through. There was also a lot of teenagers there. Appeared as if they just walked in without booking. Meet the same groups all over the course. Basically they were just chopping and changing to whatever hole they wanted to play?? We then got held up AGAIN on a par 5 by a lady (assume she is a member) who looked to practicing with multiple balls around the green. After waiting and seeing no sign off her to move on, our frustration got the better off us so we decided to hit in to her as we knew at this stage we wouldn't be returning. I'd recommend they employ a course ranger for a while at least, to eliminate slow play and walk ons. We didn't even finish the last 2 holes as when we were finishing on 16 we saw the same group yet again sitting down in the 17 tee box. Great to see youth in the club, but this free for all approache is simply not good enough. They need to be educated and adhere to the rules like everyone else.

25/03/2025: Never played before lovely course some great holes greens were superb for time of year definitely goin back in the summer very enjoyable

15/06/2025: I'm new to Moate and ieat here regularly, mostly curry dishes , call and collect myself. I cannot fault anything I've eaten here over the past 2 months .

06/06/2025: I loved it. The Chicken schwarma kabob was probably the best I’ve ever had in my life, no joke. It was huge and really good. I shared with my wife. Get utinsils. My wife also liked it but felt it was too much sauce.
