I came here 6 years ago and I still talk about this place. Fresh fish n chips and a pint doesn't get any more authentic than a place like this. Seeking refuge from the cold and wanting not frozen but fresh fish n chips and this place checked all the boxes. I walked in and the smell of fresh burning wood washed over me and I knew I was in the right place. Adorned with quotes and driftwood/branches, I took a gander around and sat up at the bar and was greeted with a smile from a super knowledgeable tender of the bar. He let me know what type of fish it was (do I remember? no, but it wasn't the average "white fish" answer I was used to getting) and that it was just caught the day before. Not much more I can say than this is the place to eat for an authentic Irish cuisine, pint and overall feeling than this is the place in Sligo area to go to. Thank you for the memorable experience, I hope to one day return here! read more

Went for lunch Easter 2023 .. food was terrible.. it used to be great but has gotten progressively worse over the years. Such a pity as it could be fabulous again (I mean how hard is it to get a burger right) but will never waster money on food there again. read more

Lovely cosy little bar in Strandhill. It's actually massive, with loads of little snugs and nooks and crannies which are perfect for getting groups together. We were there on the Saturday night and they had a band on which was actually pretty cool - major set up and they played some nice tunes - really enjoyable. But enough about that. What we're really here to talk about is the pizza. The pizza. It is as good as it gets folks. Stone baked with a lovely thin crust, and the toppings. Ah the toppings. There are so many to chose from. But. Just get the Black Rock. Don't worry bout the rest. We're talking loads of lovely Irish rashers, with more lovely black pudding, with loads of goat's cheese, and to bring it all together, carmelised red onion on top of that. So. so. good. And, they're all only 9.95. Winner! Can't wait to go back! read more

They do everything well at the Strand! We had great food. I especially recommend their "famous" Guinness Beef Stew, it is absolutely delicious. A friend had the fish and chips, which also looked great. A nice selection of Irish beers await you. The building has large beams, and although a sign says the business was established in 1913, the building looks considerably older. Great service and a cosy historic setting. read more

The Strand Bar - Guinness Beef Stew - Pubs Near Me

While waiting for a friend to go to a meeting, we stopped in The Strand Bar. We ordered the WB Yates pizza first. The crust in thin, perfectly cooked , and crispy. Ingredients meld together nicely...has ,tomato pieces, mixed peppers, pesto, and a tasty goat cheese. We had heard this bar has the best fish and chips in the area, but stop serving fish after 5. Service was with a smile. Even accommodated the Texan need for iced tea!!! Pour hot tea over ice) We'll hopefully make it back here before heading back to Texas. read more

This was our second visit and we were so happy we tried this great place again. Our first visit we didn't really like the food but today we enjoyed our meal as much as we enjoyed the atmosphere. And the staff are really really top notch!!! They all work well together and help each other out and they are oh so friendly and helpful. So today we had the goat cheese and pesto toasty with chips and a veggie pizza. The toasty was really really nice! Served on fresh bread with super flavorful pesto, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and rocket. It's not too big so if you just need a light snack this toasty is perfect. And the pizza was great today. We ordered extra jalapeños and crushed red chili's to jazz it up a bit. The pizza crust is well cooked but like lots of the veg in Ireland they just get a bit over cooked and become kind of bland and non-descript so the chilies help over come that nicely. We just love the atmosphere here and the staff get top marks!!! read more

Came on a random Thursdays early evening after a tiring day exploring castles and burial mounds nearby. This place is quiet, private and has a lovely pizza menu. Nothing else - literally nothing else, don't ask for chips, salad or potatoes with your pizza. Might be an off season thing. Only drinks and pizza but man is the pizza good. It hit the spot. 12" pizza for 10 euros with 4 toppings plus cheese. A great deal and a nice cozy place to rest your tired feet. Is downstairs from the seafood and steak restaurant. Come by and enjoy!! read more

Favourite place to end up in after a hike to Knocknarea. Especially in the colder months when they get the fireplace going, it has such a comforting, warm atmosphere. Food is great. If you like beef, don't miss out on the Guinness stew. Delicious! Fish and chips are really good, fish being fresh and the coating is not greasy. All seafood is good, too. Salads on the side are usually well seasoned, instead of just being tossed on the plate, like some places do. Lasagnas are a hit or miss, sometimes a bit too oily for my taste, but overall yummy. We tried a few specials and the ones in the winter months were definitely the best. Staff is usually great, depends on who you run into, but overall this place has a very friendly vibe. :) read more

When I stepped in I felt a good vibe right away. Everybody seemed to be having a time, why they wouldn't if outside was pouring. The bartenders were really friendly and they even got me a shot of tequila because they didn't have a whole bottle of it. Anyway, this place is 100% recommended by me. read more

Seems like we followed Thor around in Strandhill. LOL. Our lunch was alright but the number of loud tourists (and even louder tourist children) when we were there made the experience much less enjoyable. Might be a lot better later in the evening when so many of the tourist families go back to their fancy hotels. We were here in the off-season and I can't even imagine an afternoon lunch here during peak tourist season. read more

Came here after the Voya seaweed baths. A pint and a bowl of chowder just hit the spot! lots of nooks and crannies to hide in but many locals come for the hot bar, and are happy for some noon craich. read more

The best Seafood Chowder in Ireland, don't miss out! Perfect lunch spot after climbing Knocknarea.

The staff were very kind and was a lovely looking place but one of my family members ordered seafood and had food poisoning for days after

Wonderful place and great lunches (not so much the dinner pizzas). Yes, I was a tourist, but they made me feel right at home with the local crowd. read more

Arrived here on a tour through Ireland, and was impressed by the quality of the food. Did a roast lamb special, which was fairly lean and had several veggies included (very welcome when your breakfasts are a "full Ulster fry"). Cozy, yet spacious, and definitely recommended. read more
