THE place to go when in Donegal! I wished we’d have gone here every night we were in town. The pub itself is a quaint little place with such cool memorabilia everywhere. The service is fantastic. We had chowder for starters which was so delicious, the fish pie was so so good! The venison pie was incredible. Guinness was cold and delightful too. Great prices too. Highly recommend.
I know this locale is in the middle of a tourist area and in the summer I'm sure we couldn't just have walked in and asked for a table as we did it's the middle of October; I'm glad that we didn't pass up the opportunity to visit. That quintessential pub atmosphere and very friendly service, along with absolutely wonderful food made this a "so happy we stopped in" visit! Fish pie and apple pie for dessert were my choices. I'm not a foodie in any sense of the term. I don't live to eat, I eat to live and can make do with a sandwich while on the road. However, I do appreciate good good and this late lunch was highly enjoyable. All of us four people in our party of which two ARE foodies are on the same page about this place! Fish and chips were not soggy and overcooked, the Calamari wasn't rubbery, the chips French fries were perfectly crispy. The apples in the 'pie' literally melted in my mouth. And, oh yeah, the restrooms are spotless!
Best Guinness in Donegal and served cold as it should be! This homey, traditional Irish pub has friendly service and a warm atmosphere, but is known for its perfectly chilled draught Guinness, which I sampled myself and have to agree it's delicious! The raw oysters were mouth-watering and I enjoyed the seafood chowder immensely. If you are here I'd suggest the fish and chips or fresh seafood, and steer clear of the smoked salmon and "prawn" with bread. It's an open-faced sandwich with pink baby shrimp not what we consider prawns which may disappoint. The most attentive table service here is during non-peak times and you'll need to approach the bar to settle your bill instead of waiting for it. All in all great place for a pint! Parking: Parking is not likely unless you find a paid spot in one of the lots a short distance away.
This bar is every image of an Irish pub I've ever had. The low ceilings, wood accents, intimate seating and bar selection were like a travel poster, but they were all real. They also have outdoor seating with a view of the castle across the street. The "Diamond" shopping are is right there outside the door and several hotels and B&B's within a 5 minute stroll. The vibe was warm and friendly and very welcoming. If you want the classic pub/bar experience this is it.
The food was delicious. We have tried a burger, chicken wrap and the garlic bread. The restaurant is near the Donegal Castle. The place is crowded and you may have to wait a little to get a table for you. The food usually takes 10-20 minutes to be served. I recommend this place.
Great place for dinner or a drink. Everything was delicious. Excellent fish and chips! Friendly staff, even on a busy night. Great atmosphere!
You will be sitting in a old look castle, very busy and it closes pretty early, so it is better to book in advance if you want to have a chance to try this amazing restaurant ! But you will have the feeling of eating like few centuries ago with this mix of wood and old stones. Specialties from the bay, very famous for their fishes! I had the Supreme Chicken, Best food I had in Northern part of Ireland so far! Really recommend this beautiful place.
Was in Donegal for the long weekend and wanted to get my 14 year old daughter to try lobster for the first time. Thankfully they did have it available, because it is not always on the menu. We also shared a seafood platter for one. All I can say is 'EXCEPTIONAL '! I will let the picture talk for itself!
Place is on the main street in Donegal town, very lively and busy spot. But I would call it a tourist trap, things are overpriced and actually very bad quality. We ordered fish and chips that most likely was made from frozen fish and missing all the seasoning, if they wouldn't serve lemon and salt , probably not possible to enjoy at all. The worst thing was when we ordered steak on the sourdough, well done version came looking and tasting like a "shoe". Disgrace to make steak like that at all. The only thing that is priced like everywhere else is beer. Would not go back and would recommend to do more research and find some other spot in the town, where to enjoy better quality food. This place doesn't deserve high ratings on Google at all.
Much better than we experienced last night at another restaurant, her burger and my venison pie were tasty and well cooked. Service was pleasant too, prices more reasonable. Get there early for a seat as they don't take reservations.
