Tuar Ard Coffee Shop
Moate, <20£
03/09/2026: Absolutely a treat, tasty food, amazing staff, so friendly, professional, a happy welcoming ambiance, will be back and highly recommend stopping here, like a little holiday, thank you.
30/08/2026: This is the first time I come here and I must say the food is excellent. I had the avocado toast and the ingredients were super fresh but also well combined. Even the tomatoes on the side were gently roasted with balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavour. Well done.

P EGAN BAR
Moate
10/08/2026: We visited P. Egan while spending the day in Moate, as we knew Michael Jackson had visited this pub during his time living in Ireland. From the moment we arrived, Paul welcomed us with such warmth and kindness and made our visit feel truly special.
It’s a beautiful traditional Irish pub, full of character, history and a lovely atmosphere.
We’re so grateful to Paul for taking the time to talk with us, share stories and make us feel so welcome. Being there already had a very special meaning for us because of Michael, but Paul’s kindness made the experience even more memorable.
Thank you so much, Paul. We will definitely come back! ♥️
13/07/2026: Iconic, 200+ year- old pub, the watering hole of celebrities and film stars over the decades (inc stars of "Dallas."). Welcoming host, professional, friendly service and great 'craic' to be had by all. Ideal for parties, events. It's like stepping back in time with the traditional pub atmosphere and old-fashioned Irish 'service with a smile.'

The Gap House
Moate
09/08/2026: Pulled in here passing through Moate.
Really enjoyable meal here today and I’d definitely be happy to come back again.
I had the BBQ wings to start, which I’d give 4/5. The flavour was very good and the sauce was tasty, but the wings themselves weren’t quite as meaty as I would have liked. I think an extra one or two wings in the portion would probably have made up for that. Still a very enjoyable starter and they were cooked well.
For the main course I went for the cod and chips and it was easily a 5/5. The portion was absolutely massive - definitely come hungry! The piece of cod was huge with a lovely crisp batter, plenty of chips and it came with peas, salad, tartar sauce and lemon. It was one of those plates that arrives at the table and immediately gets your attention because of the size of it. Very good value considering how substantial the portion was and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My dinner guest had the philli steak sandwich and was very impressed with that as well. He said it was very enjoyable and would happily order it again.
Overall, a very good meal with generous portions and plenty of choice. The cod and chips was definitely the highlight for me and I’d order it again without hesitation. Well worth a visit - 5 stars overall.
Wings €10 x2
Cod €20
Philli Steak €23
Lovely staff and clean place
23/03/2026: We had a wonderful night in the Gap House for daddy’s 80th birthday, amazing atmosphere service and food thank you Denise Mary and Tracey xx

The Shack
Moate
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.

Don's Bar
Moate
29/07/2026: Last Sunday evening, after Mayo’s unforgettable All-Ireland victory, myself and a few close friends stopped in Moate on our way home from Dublin.
We were eager to catch the Sunday Game, and with our timing bringing us into Moate at around 9.30, Don’s Bar was the first place we spotted showing it.
From the moment we walked through the door, the welcome from the staff and locals was incredible. It felt like walking into a surprise birthday party; the whole place rose to its feet and cheered Mayo’s victory.
For a few moments, they made us feel ten feet tall.
After such a momentous and emotional day, that welcome was every bit as special as the occasion itself and is something we will never forget.
A sincere thank you to everyone in Don’s Bar, Moate, for the warmth, kindness and generosity you showed us. It was a beautiful reminder of everything that is good about sport, community and the people of Ireland.

The Pantry Moate
Moate
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.
