Not sure that they are still open for business. Took a long walk to get there for dinner and it wasn't open, no outdoor tables at all and inside looked kind of deserted. read more

This restaurant was great, for such a posh looking restaurant it's really affordable! I ordered soup for 4.95 and a sushi starter for 7.95 and was fully satisfied for only 13 euro, since they give bread too. My friends ordered risotto, which looked really good but the serving was quite large so they ended up taking half home. The menu is pretty diverse, from a huge list of entrees, burgers, mains like salmon, chicken dishes, stew etc., a burger menu and finally dessert! I wouldn't say cheap but not expensive either. We all paid about 13~16 each for dinner. The atmosphere is pretty classy and romantic with the dim lights, red chairs and candles, so it's quite formal dress. There's also a bar and a good cocktail and drinks menu. The service was excellent. The girl tending to us was really attentive and checked up on us ever so often. By the way, we came on a Monday evening so it was reeeaaaally quiet, like us and 5 other people. I'm sure it would be more lively on the weekends, which I'd say would be a better time to go. But Drogheda is pretty small and quiet in general. Overall, nice atmosphere, good service and affordable. read more

See all

We stopped in here absolutely STARVED after a long day shopping & traveling. I ordered the Chicken burger & chips. The chicken itself was cooked well, but the burger was very plain. On the menu it said it came with a Cajun mayo, no sign of this. Instead what I got was some form of very bland cheese & not much else. Luckily enough on the side were lots of finely diced peppers & onions which really saved the day for me. The chips were also about average. It was grand! But that's all it was. Would I go back? Maybe if I had no car, cocktail menu looked unreal! read more

Bru Bar & Bistro - Chicken Burger & Chips - Irish Near Me - Drogheda, LH

My Economics 12 class did a marketing project with Kristina and part of the process involved a field trip to BruBar Cafe. Kristina could not have been more helpful. She supplied them with delicious coffee and other drinks, answered their questions, and continued to support them though the project. read more

Stopped in with the family for lunch not expecting much. The restaurant has a nice setting and attractive modern new look. There weren't many people when we arrived which made us pause. I am really glad we decided to stay. The kid menu had a good selection. Kids ordered different pastas. Regular menu has a very diverse selection. Adults ordered the pate, seafood chowder and chicken pie. The pate was phenomenal. It was prepared as a mousse, very soft with two different types of bread. We were both really blown away by this dish. The chowder was so tasty: rich seafood taste. Pie was good, but not like the chowder and pate. Kids pasta was very good: better than normal kid menu fare. Service was very friendly. Overall, a great stop. I highly recommend. read more

Bru Bar & Bistro - The bistro bar. - Irish Near Me - Drogheda, LH

The dinner was just perfect. The shrimp salad, the goat cheese salad and the fish and chips were delicious.

We landed at Bru at the tail end of a week long trip. The food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. What stood out most though was the customer service. Particularly concerning our server Killian. When my mom mentioned she had so enjoyed the Irish brown bread we had had at many area restaurants he showed up to the table with a sampling of the breads they offered sometime later. It was a pleasant surprise but he later topped it by giving her almost a whole loaf to bring home. It was such a kind gesture that showed he had really listened to his customers. Bru will most definitely be on our list of eateries to hit on our next trip. Thank you so much for a dining experience that turned into one of our favorite memories from the trip. read more

This place has amazing good food with extremely polite and helpful waiters. The price might be a bit high but it's a great place to go for a celebration. Plus, when I went their had a special where it's 18€ for two courses (a drink can be considered a course) or 22€ for three courses. Everything we ate was DELICIOUS. I would definitely go back with friends and family if we are in the neighborhood. read more

First of all, the map on Yelp is totally wrong and sent us on a 30 minute uphill walk out of the way, so I had to call the restaurant to get directions. (I should have listened to my wife!) Other reviews claimed the atmosphere to be romantic, but we both think that "romantic" requires table cloths, so Bru Bar Bistro doesn't qualify, but it is pleasant and relaxing. The lighting, after the sun goes down, can be called romantic, and it is quiet and serene and candlelit. There are no sports on the TV, which is a welcome change in Ireland, but tablecloths would really help. The wait staff was polite and attentive, even when we started out a little grouchy because of the wild goose chase and then the fact they couldn't make our standard cocktails. They only had one brand of vodka, Smirnoff, no Cointreau, and no olives. Nevertheless, the "classic Cosmo" was good and the Cork gin martini was ok with a twist. We had to drink our water out of small wine glasses. This added to the sense that the place lacks some fundamental basics of being a good restaurant. They also have cheap, industrial flatware. I think they need to decide their place on the classy spectrum ... it's like they want to be a higher class establishment, but are missing a few points. If they fixed those, it would be great! (Perhaps we're wrong about their intentions, and this is where they want to be.) The rolls were very good little, homemade tomato breads. They were accompanied by a tomato/red pepper dip and a curry dip, both very unique and delicious. For appetizers, she had the fried Tipperary Brie with cranberry, which was good, but not great. I had the fish cakes and salad, which were a little bland but the Asian dipping sauce saved the taste experience. The main courses were a filet mignon, with peppercorn whiskey sauce and mixed vegetables. That was very good, done properly, and a good cut of beef, although the vegetables were too bland. We also had the chicken curry, which had too little curry to my taste, so the coconut overwhelmed it a bit. The rice was fine. Her dessert was a meringue with berries, which was OK, but not great. I had the parfait, which had too much chocolate cake and not enough ice cream, but OK, overall. All in all, a quite serviceable, pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. The price was appropriate for the quality as well. I'd return, but try some different things on the menu. read more

Great for romantic dinners. The menu has a great selection and is great value. The bar upstairs is perfect for a few drinks afterwards as cocktails are their speciallity. There is a dj and a dance floor aswell as surrounding sofas and tables. Very modern and not to mention a lovely view over the Boyne river. read more

Good Menu's and great location. Well done bru!

I have been here twice now and had an impeccable dining experience both times. Service was intuitive and timely. Food was exceptional.

Modern, friendly and not expensive. Need to book at weekends as you can't guarantee a seat during busy periods. The food is mostly of the comfort variety, but we'll cooked and nicely presented. Probably recommend the chicken wings which were a winner all round. Child friendly and we'll staffed. read more

I love they're food. Very nice and tastes fresh. The only bad thing, sometimes the chicken tastes like rubber. Otherwise it's amazing!

Somewhere I went to very often, lovely welcoming waitresses and okay food, until I was aggressively verbally attacked and harassed by the manager, Alan. Horrific experience, somewhere I will never be returning. read more
