I loved everything about this place.

Stopped here based on the reviews and we were sadly disappointed…read more We were very excited because the building itself is beautiful. The ambiance is great and exactly what you would expect. But that's where the positive reviews end. First off, the waitress seemed put off she had to wait on us. Additionally, the place was freezing and we had to keep our coats on, it was almost as if the place had no heat. Everyone dining there had their winter coats on while dining. The menu was all over the place with no consistent theme. The food was okay. It wasn't terrible- but it wasn't anything we were excited to finish. Overall, the best part is the aesthetics on the outside of the building.

Ballybunion once had a strange, steam-powered monorail that linked the town with Listowel. This place gets especially packed during the 'Listowel Races' in mid-September and it is absolutely brilliant! Here's a little verse from a tune written by Pecker Dunne about his favorite sea town in Ireland: "To take a walk down Main Street, and see my friends from home, Go tell my own true sweetheart, I never more will roam, Go tell the lads I'm coming back--that's where I want to be, in my little Irish home town, Ballybunion by the sea."

If you're coming to Ballybunion, or Baile an Bhunneanaibhgh, (which I only heard of previously from…read morean old Irish song: "Ballybunion by the sea"), chances are you'd be coming here either for it's wide open sandy beaches or maybe to play golf, as President Bill Clinton did in 1999, (a statue of him further down main street still recalls one of Ballybunion's most memorable days). I was in this in this small coastal village/town, (which is 15km west of Listowel), in 2007 working at the modern hugely impressive, 500 seat 'Tinteán Theatre'. The place has a very impressive number of pubs too, a great number of them with names appealing to golf mad tourists like The Freeway & The Bunker, and of course The Presidents Bar! Oh I sampled them all in the week or so I was here, but the one I remember for it's hospitality & of course good beer, was The Railway. (Ballybunion once had a strange, steam-powered monorail that linked the town with Listowel). I'll never forget it that it was whilst watching the tv in the Railway one evening that I was first introduced to "The Podge & Rodge Show" on RTÉ 2. Not that the tv was allowed to kill the art of conversation, and a grand fella I was working with called Jack impressed us all with his ability to identify all the national county hurling teams from a display of model players. A good old place for a sing song too, and I heard some jokes about Kerry girls which my undaunted respect for them will not allow me to repeat here! So you get the idea, I have very harmonious memories of Ballybunion's Railway Bar, so appropriately I'll end with with a verse of the song: "To take a walk down Main Street, and see my friends from home, Go tell my own true sweetheart, I never more will roam, Go tell the lads I'm coming back--that's where I want to be, in my little Irish home town, Ballybunion by the sea."

The chowder and zero flavor, but was packed with fresh fish. The fish and chips were awesome, fresh as usual in Ireland, but very light and flaky, a top 3 for us. They were able to get us in and out, but we had to ask 3 times for water, and it was unseasonably warm. The decor was combo Irish pub/ Nautical.
