We had a fairly good Sunday lunch here today; baked cod for me and turkey & ham for my wife both…read moreserved with under seasoned mashed and roast potatoes. Side vegetables were broccoli and carrots. I had a cream of vegetable soup for starter with thin cut wheaten bread that I wouldn't take again and my wife had spring rolls (2) that she would have again. My cod would have benefitted greatly from a tasty sauce - cream/wine or tomato/garlic based. Cod of its own hasn't great flavour and this cod sadly was not uber fresh. Similarly my wife doesn't like gravy (offered with turkey & ham) and asked for pepper sauce which wasn't available. It is a pub that serves food so it should be able to rustle up a pepper sauce. Service was attentive and friendly and a lovely ambiance. Two starters, two mains, a glass of rosé and a cappuccino €64.50. The journey to here is usually easy but was slow today as the town had been seized up and hard to negotiate driving in as there was a mid morning marathon and today is St Brigid's day. She is one of Ireland's three national saints of Ireland with Patrick (who was Welsh) and Columba - who died in Iona - being the other two. The last time we were here and the last time it was so shut down was just before President Joe Biden visited Dundalk en route to Carlingford 16 miles away where his ancestors departed for America. Who ever thought Come back Joe All is Forgiven. The creature now infecting the White House used 'cost of living' as the stick to beat President Biden as after years of stagnating wages and rising costs, many middle-class Americans felt that the system no longer affords them a fair bite of the cherry in terms of home ownership, healthcare and university access: now while it's probably still the biggest sword hanging over his own presidency it might take second place to the latest events in Minneapolis where George Floyd was murdered by the State in 2020. I think I'll stay on the outside occasionally looking in.

The pints were solid, and the food was consistently good around the table. The bread was amazing, the salads were fresh and the variety of dishes was refreshing. They even accommodated the picky 6-year old in our group! We'd recommend this place the atmosphere any time you're in Dundalk.

I can't recommend this place enough!…read more I was with a group of 6 gal pals exploring Northern Ireland, and this recommendation came from our cab driver in Dublin a few days prior. We decided to check it out since it was on our way to Belfast, and we were so glad we did! What an AWESOME spot! The decor is incredible - so many little old school trinkets jammed in every little cranny - it makes it feel like grandmas house, and so charming at that. And the food... everything we ordered (which was a lot!) was incredibly delicious! The bread they served for appetizer was so good we bought a loaf to take with us for breakfast the next day! Highly highly recommend the French Onion Soup - best I've ever had. And the fried fish/shrimp appetizer was delicious and so cute - served on individual forks! The beet and goat cheese app was also superb. I could go on and on about how much I loved this place, from the decor to the food to the service, but instead I'll leave it at this: Visit! If I'm ever back in the area I know that I'll for sure be back. Yum!

This was hands-down the most aesthetically pleasing place we've eaten in all of Ireland. And the…read morefood was good too. We found this place close to the hotel we were staying at and it had great reviews and so we decided to give it a shot we were not disappointed. I bad the steak it was cooked a little more than I would like for a medium rare, and my partner had the salmon and a zero Guinness. The service was fast and Everyone was friendly and we would definitely stop in again. Wheelchair accessibility: there are several disabled parking spots close to the venue and a zero rise entry to get into the building; the doorways are slightly narrow, but they were easily able to accommodate us with a wheelchair at a lovely table. There's also table seating inside and out that would be wheelchair friendly and the bathroom was roomy and accessible.

This is an excellent private sector comedy store venue that should be used for this purpose much…read moremore often. We arrived early to get a good seat for this surreal comedian. The room was large and comfortably warm with lots of tables and chairs. The sound system was great and we got unplanned company - two folks we know came up and asked to join us. They were delightful company. A great crowd turned out for this very very funny man - typical Newry as most folks appeared just 10 minutes before the show start. The bar had a few staff to cope with a happy, thirsty crowd. During interval time I got a bar order for three and then popped down to the ground floor bar for a very tasty cappuccino just for me. All served with a smile. The event itself was organised by the wonderful A Iur Cinn Fleadh. They also organise the boat trips down Newry canal. The last time we saw his show here it was also organised by them in a city that you wouldn't think has a public arts centre and a public town hall. They aren't just under used they aren't used. They are truly wonderful volunteers and great ambassadors for our area. They are almost the last volunteer group we have standing here as our local NMDDC has/is systematically destroying such groups. They are a different type of comedy club who want to spend £18 million on their own new premises with a free car park for themselves but don't ask about a public park. The High Street community group are deliberately starved of funding and the local LGBTQI Pride In Newry were so successful at running events they had to be cast aside despite running much better events for a fraction of the prices incompetent NMDDC shell out. Wake The Giant is a giant annual waste of rates money well into six figures.

Bellini's made my wedding. Okay, well my husband gets most of the credit, but the staff at…read moreBellini's did an incredible job. My husband and I were living in London so we only were able to visit a few times before our April 2013 wedding to confirm arrangements. Even though our wedding was very atypical for Ireland -only 60 guests, we brought our own music on a laptop, we made a toastie bar at the back for the late buffet (bringing our own toastie maker), and limited decor- they took care of everything. On the night of, the whole staff did an incredible job of taking care of our guests, some of whom were picky about food and got some alternate options. Eamon (sp?) was there to attend to our every need. He kept refilling our beverages at the head table so we never had to head to the bar. Our specifications for the meal were handled expertly. I am lactose-intolerant and they made sure to accommodate with a milk-free soup as a starter. We ordered 2 bottles of wine per table that were laid out for us. For a great price we had a turkey option (no ham because I don't eat pork), beef, and vegetarian option available for all of the guests. We didn't have to specify exact numbers, either; servers went around with plates and sorted it all very easily for us. We were able to pick our own flavours for cheesecake dessert, too! My husband loves Galaxy Caramel and their chefs were able to whip together a Galaxy Caramel cheesecake that everyone loved. There was a bride's room beside the reception so I could sneak away for a break and leave my purse there. The bartender was great, as well. Overall, everything was handled so wonderfully from the planning, to the tea before the reception while we had our photos taken, to the meal and dancing. Everyone did their best to make our night perfect. They even had a deal on at the time where we got a free brunch the next day with our guests! We had about 20 people for a delicious chicken curry breakfast with, again, great service. They cleaned up after the event and had all of our things organized for us (laptop, vases we had rented from elsewhere for each of the tables, etc). I can't recommend Bellini's any more highly as a wedding reception venue. They made my wedding day relaxing and enjoyable. I had the best day of my life and Bellini's was a big part of that.

I believe the red brick residential houses were owned by the railway over 100 years ago to accommodate the railway workers so the pub was and is integral to generations of a hard working community. It also has an off licence at the side of the building so it's a substantial property. We by passed the bar in favour of a very comfy extensive lounge area leading out to an open air beer & barbecue garden. testament to hope over experience in our rain filled island. The beer was good. I had draught peroni (€4.30) my wife opted for her usual Jameson. As it happened our visit coincide with what was to be Ireland's last euro football game but this wasn't our reason for being here. In fact when we arrived there was only a few locals but as the match time grew near it filled up. I sat in a comfortable chair and I could see two football screens, one to my right the other to my left. I'm not much interested in sport and I can take or leave football and I usually leave it but the locals created one heck of an enjoyable fun atmosphere as Ireland took the lead and eventually lost it. I will end this review by telling you about the generous spirit of the owners. They had laid on free food barbecued meats including chicken breast, beef burgers, pork sausages, chunks of bacon and chips with a range of salads, slaws and breads. We were complete strangers. Never there before yet the attitude was help yourself don't be shy (which proves the didn't know me from Adam) and the food was delicious too. Worth a visit of your passing.
