The atmosphere is warm and cozy, but the staff is what really makes this establishment shine. Noel makes everyone feel welcome. And the waitstaff is amazing (and funny to boot...that means you James). Everything we have ordered has been top-notch with large portions. You will not leave hungry! From the scallops, lamb stew to their burger...everything has been delicious. We are incredibly appreciative of how welcoming everyone at Veldons has been on our visits...including the other customers we have chatted with. Veldons is a true gem.

With a variety of food offerings and selection of creamy pints, my family enjoyed our experience. Our waitstaff was able to accommodate all needs. They do have daily specials, however they were out of the cottage pie and breaded cod dinners when we ate at 12:30. 'Twas a bit early to be out of food, especially when my father was looking forward to the cottage pie.

Walking in, you have a beautiful bar flanked by a wood burning fireplace surrounded by chairs/ couches. Open the adjacent door and you have the other side of the bar and entrance to the back bar. The back bar is just amazing, complete with a replica of The Titanic! Trust me, you won't see anything like this anywhere... back in the day this bar commissioned folks to go on the ship, they said. What makes the place is the Locals... here they will talk to you, spark up a conversation unlike Dublin & Cork City. Spent 3-4 nights in here and the people you meet and conversations/ gibberish really make it authentic! The bartenders are also all good, dealt with 3 different ones and all of them had plenty of info on the area/ recommendations, etc. The Guinness is amazing and they DO NOT serve food during the off season... have a bag of salted peanuts! Even met the owner and he bought me a shot of Jameson. Must See// Talk Later

My kids had bbq chicken wings which were awesome and they other had chicken goujons. By far the best chicken finger ( I'm from the USA) I've ever had. Seafood clam chowder was great as well. Small/limited menu - so thing felt fresh and overall was great. We had 8 folks and were able to get a seat. It wasn't overly loud and fairly clean on the inside. Place is a bit rustic, and definitely not modern - highly recommend

I tried a few different types, but always ended up with Jamison in the end. Bartenders were great, I never felt like a customer but more like a friend. I never once had to ask for a drink or had to get their attention..loved how attentive they were. My group grabbed seats just as it started to get crowded, once the music started it felt like everyone in the streets just filed in. It was packed, everyone was having fun signing and drinking ... one big party. I met and had so many great conversations with both locals and people from all over the world.
