We went there twice. It's a nice little pub with pretty good food. Try the Brie! It's worth it :)

If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay in County Wicklow, Ireland. I highly recommend…read morestaying at the Meetings Bed&Breakfast. The Meetings Bed&Breakfast is a Gem! I arrived to the Rathdrum Train Station and unfortunately all the taxi company's were tied up working a wedding In the area. I called the Meetings Bed&Breakfast to see if they could organize a cab for me. About ten minutes later a car pulls up. To my surprise and amazement it was the owner of the Meetings Bed&Breakfast Derek. He helped me with my bags and drove me to his establishment. Upon arriving he helped me again with my bags and showed me to my room. Derek also showed me around his establishment. I was made feel very Welcome! I ended up having a few pints at the Meetings Pub. Derek and his Family all run the B&B, The pub and store on the premises. They are all True Professionals and very cool in my book. They take so much pride in their business and genuinely care about their guests. My room was so modern, very clean. My room had a great flat screen TV. You have a great selection of TV Channels due to it being hooked up to a satellite dish. My bed was so comfortable also. The next morning I had breakfast! Honestly the breakfast is probably one of the best Traditional Irish Breakfast's I have had in many years. The coffee and orange juice tasted great. Absolutely no complaints from me! The Meetings Bed and Breakfast rates Five Stars and more! It should be noted I am originally from Dublin, Ireland, lived in the United States for over Thirty Years and traveled all over the world with the United States Marines all over the world. I definitely know a great Bed&Breakfast from all my travels and life experiences. Lastly the views from the Bed&Breakfast are absolutely amazing! You literally get to see we're the rivers meet up! The Meetings Pub & Breakfast is A must visit in County Wicklow, Ireland!

Dropped into this pub recently for food, and found the service at the bar to be poor. There was at…read moreleast three women stationed behind the bar, and my partner was routinely ignored - either they walked straight past him or served another customer. who was not waiting as long as him. This did not happen once, but on three separate occasions - very bad first impression overall. Alcohol on tap was nice, but some beer in bottles not stored in a cooler, and so first bottle I received was completely flat. Food was extremely expensive, however, it was delicious. My partner had the venison and he absolutely loved it. Cannot fault the chef for the high standard of food or the waitress who served us food. There seemed to be a huge disparity between the professionalism seen in the restaurant area - waiters neatly dressed and food received exemplary - and the bar - not all waiters wearing a uniform and poor service. Even though the food was lovely, I would not dine here again or recommend it to others based on poor service and over priced menu.

This was going to be my first Irish meal of the trip so of course I wanted something that was more traditional Irish food! The group ordered: - beef stew x2 - Cottage Pie x2 - Irish Coffees x2 - Vegetable Soup of the Day I personally got the cottage pie and it was delicious! Large order of food I thought, with pie, fries, and a salad! My mom got the soup and didn't like it that much, she loved my cottage pie though and kept stealing bites of it. The soup was more a puree, and I personally was not a fan of it either. The others loved the stew and our tour guide was a fan of the cottage pie as well! Overall, I enjoyed my lunch here!

The tour company must have a deal with Fitzgerald's as he called when we were 20 mins out and they were ready for us. Greeted us with a tray full of Irish Whiskey and Baileys for everyone. The menu is all traditional Irish food and was really good. My wife got the vegetable soup & Bulmers cider, and I got bangers and mash along with a pint of Guinness. It was really good and the locals that hang out there were all very friendly and came over to talk with everyone from our group once we finished eating. I asked the one local how many people lived in this tiny village and he said, "Not sure how many in the town, but there are 27 people and 3 dogs on this street". It was so awesome and felt like going back 100 years in time.

Traveling abroad in Ireland has been swell on my first morning. There aren't many spots to eat at…read more12pm around Glendalough. I'm so glad I found this cozy, warm, earth-toned restaurant. The dark wood table tops and cast iron bases just make me feel grounded. One of the hosts asked if I had a reservation, and I was almost sad because I didn't expect it. She was kind enough to seat me anyway. I don't know her name, but she was lovely, golden hair, and bright green glasses! I was served by Avinash, who had a warm demeanor. My phone was about 20% and he kindly let me charge it; hence why I do not have any photos of the meal :) at the end of the meal, when I asked for an espresso, Avi came back with my phone as well-- a nice touch of remembrance. I had the slow cooked lamb leg, with potatoes, carrots, and rosemary stuffing with a balsamic mint sauce. It was divine. It was my first meal of the day, and I savored every last bite. The atmosphere was just what I needed. 5/5 would return. And did yall know they got first editions of Bam Stoker, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce??? Sheeesh.

This was a sizable restaurant with an large outdoor seating area. Inside was nicely decorated and busy. I ordered the Seafood chowder that was thick, hot and with nice spice. After two mouthfuls the Corned Beef Rueben came out which made for a difficult decision to eat what first. The corned beef Rueben was ok, not as good as The Temple bar, too dry and a far 10th to my own juicy corned beef. While waiting for the check, I headed to the head to wash up and upon arrival back, my remaining beer was gone and table cleared as they thought I left. I Paid the bill and on my way. Place seems like a great place To hang outside during warmer weather although it seemed the staff was short handed.

Food was unreal today! I had the kilmore quay fish which is caught in Wexford, with mash, mushy peas and sauce! Will continue to eat here.. it's handy for a pit stop as it's just off the n11 bypass, so if you're coming from Dublin it's great to stop and eat here! Don't be afraid to visit, and most important, take other people's experiences lightly until you try for yourself

I had the brie to start, Hunter's chicken (note: served with bacon) as the main and Belgian waffle to finish. My companion had the garlic mushrooms, followed by the steak burger and to finish, the sticky toffee pudding (served with ice-cream on the side). The last dish was particularly recommended by our very pleasant and helpful server, and according to my colleague, it did not disappoint!!! We were greeted and served by Goda and Robyn, both of whom were very polite but warm and friendly, and they really gave the place its pleasant and laid back atmosphere. There were also plenty of families present, as well as couples, friends etc. and they were all made to feel equally welcome. There's also an outdoor area which is handy for anyone stopping in for a bite to eat with the kids. WiFi is freely available, and although popular, the Inn is not an especially noisy place, particularly as seating is divided into several smaller areas.

I wasn't a fan, but the boyfriend loved the Irish coffee. Rich cream on top covered with a few coffee beans, sprinkled with cocoa and filled to the brim. Has a bold, black coffee taste with a hint of whiskey flavor. We tried the recommended pie pie burger and it was excellent! Fluffy fresh bun over a well cooked and rich meat patty, we weren't sure exactly what it was but it had a cheese and ham blend over the burger that came with a flavorful garlic aioli. Large cut potatoes fries that were crispy in the perfect way, and came with a salad that had a dressing on the sweeter side. Duck lovers I can't vogue for you or this duck. I didn't like it, it was very gamey and the skin was thick. It was covered with a bbq like sauce that came with plenty of fresh vegetables and a side of rice. A nice, cheaky place to enjoy a late night meal. Friendly service and American favorites for music to enjoy. However at the end of our visit our waitress clocked out and left us for twenty minutes until we had to ask another server to take our bill.
