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.

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. When the music would stop half the crowd would clear out... unitl the next band started. Lot's of fun here, smooth wide selection of whiskey and great music.

The service was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The fish and chips? Hands down the BEST I've ever had -- perfectly crisp on the outside, flaky and tender inside. And the seafood chowder was beyond words. Rich, flavorful, and packed with seafood. Of course, the beer was fresh and delicious, just as it should be. An awesome, cozy spot that delivers on everything you hope for in a great Irish pub. We'll be back.

The fish and chips did not disappoint and the portion size was very generous. If I had to pick a flaw I suppose I would mention the size of the container of the tartar sauce that comes with the meal is very small, about three smears worth. Also, omg, look at the chips! Those are some unique shaped chips, at first I thought they were potato chips that were fried but no, they were French fries that looked like a potato chip. We stopped here after visiting the cliffs of Moher, the restaurant is located in Doolin County, which I believe has a cave you can visit if you want to get some more adventures in after a great meal at a terrific authentic Irish Pub. As always people SYOY!!!

When you walk in, the smell of fresh ground coffee hit me. I should have ordered an Irish coffee, as I'm sure it would have been top tier, if they cared enough to grind the beans.

After ordering a drink is enquired about some football on TV and the barman was more than happy to pop it on for me, in fact he came over twice to check what time it was on and was I staying on for it... Really liked that he remembered and without fail, 5pm and he turned over the station for me! Why to win your customers over, well done! We quickly got cosy, there was a stove fire burning strong so the place was warm and people pottered in and out, they have a couple of tv screens plus games rooms to the back of the bar, so grand if he fancy some pool :-) The barman kept the drinks coming and despite not being a pub with lounge staff, on couple of occasions they came on out from the bar with our 'special delivery'... Pretty decent of them and continued to have great banter with us and I'd gladly go here again when I'm back in Letterfrack. As I said it's definitely a no frills place but if your after a great pint of Guinness and some friendly Irish banter, then this is just the place :-)

The food can be pricey but I went for a seafood chowder and fish and chips. The chowder was nice but not as thick as expected and needed salt. The fish and chips were tasty and surprisingly had some nice coleslaw that wasn't smothered in mayonnaise like most Irish coleslaw tends to be, My wife had a lamb stew and even though she ate loads, the bowl still looked full when she was stuffed. The portions are absolutely massive. I couldn't finish my fish and chips either. Their beer selection on tap is not worth mentioning, the usual suspects.
