I very rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to share this experience because it left me…read morefeeling genuinely upset and humiliated. My daughter and I travelled a long distance after seeing your advertisements stating that small pets are welcome in the bar area. We brought our small pedigree miniature Bichon, who I was carrying in my arms when we arrived. There was an unreserved table for two available inside, but we were told we had to sit outside. When I politely asked why we couldn't sit at the empty table, the manager snapped at us in front of other customers and said, "If you want to sit there, you need to order now," while handing us the menu. There were a number of people behind us waiting and others in the bar listening, which made the whole situation very embarrassing. As I started to read the menu, the manager then changed her mind and told us we could only order soup or chowder. We were no longer allowed to order anything else. I simply couldn't understand why we were being treated differently when there was an available table and your venue advertises that small pets are welcome in the bar. What upset me most wasn't just that we couldn't have a meal--it was the way we were made to feel. We had travelled a considerable distance in good faith, expecting a warm welcome, only to leave feeling embarrassed, singled out and unwelcome. As a dog owner, I find it deeply disappointing that genuinely pet-friendly hospitality is still so difficult to find in Ireland. Our dogs are part of our families. We don't expect special treatment--just honesty in advertising and to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as any other customer. We left without eating, feeling hurt and ashamed. I hope this review encourages a more compassionate approach towards customers who travel with well-behaved pets.

This is by far one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Which is a shame because it…read moresits above Rossnowlagh Beach and has a gorgeous view. We had a 5:00 reservation because that was all they had, and we were directed to a dark corner in the bar by the rude hostess (we later learned she owns the place) even though there were three empty tables--two of them still dirty--right by the window. She reluctantly agreed to seat us at one--one of the dirty ones--with this warning: "You will leave at 6. You need to understand that." (PS 6 came and went and no one asked to leave) We never had the same server; various very young servers would drop off things--like the bottle of wine we ordered, already opened, no tasting. They never asked how our dinners were, which was too bad because I was given a butter knife to cut my overdone steak. A steak knife might have actually allowed me to cut through it and eat the thing. They wouldn't take it off the bill because apparently the chef could cut it--do you think he used a butter knife? On our way out we passed a tween happily cutting away on her steak with an actual knife. It's the only restaurant in town and I still wouldn't go back.

We got the fish cakes and Caesar salad for apps and the seafood pie and Chicken Eirann for entrees. Everything was done perfectly from the pleasantly surprising mango curry sauce with the fish cakes to the savory and delightful sauce on the chicken Eirann. Normally I avoid chicken dishes because they can be kinda boring but the server and some Yelp pictures steered me towards the chicken Eirann and I'm so glad because it was amazing. My husband really enjoyed the fish pie with a Smithwicks to wash it down.

While we were waiting the bartender poured us a few drinks and he was super friendly. We order fried mozzarella, margherita pizza and sausage tagliatelle. The fried mozzarella was average at best. The tagliatelle was tasty. The pizza was initially good, but then we realized it was super salty, the crust was even super salty. Our server was a sweetheart, she was young and gave us great advice on where to go out after dinner, we are traveling with my 19 year old son. So although the food was not great, the service was top notch.

If you're in the area, you should - no MUST - stop here and eat. It's seriously the best pub food I've ever had. We had a deliciously poured pint of Guinness (naturally) and a Smithwicks, a vegetable stew with homemade brown soda bread (I nearly begged for extra slices of he bread), a delicious delicious steak sandwich that was so buttery and flavorful and had perfect black pepper gravy, a potato pancake that was a great complement to the steak, and sticky toffee pudding. Which was a perfect endcap. If they jazzed up their presentation and put some greens or color with their dishes, they could easily charge twice what they are in a hipster area or city. As it is, you'll get a fantastic deal and wonderful food. All of the above came to something around 33 Euros and was plenty to stuff two of us. To;dr: GO HERE.
