FOOD & DRINK
A Seafront Bar
With the very best of Irish cuisine
IN LOOK AND FEEL, INSPIRED BY THE OCEAN
The interior is dominated by a curved walnut bar reminiscent of a tall sailing ship, while behind the bar shelves are replicas of grappling hooks used by local fishermen, fashioned from brass hook ends. In winter, a fire burns, creating the intimate, cosy feel of a traditional Irish pub. In summer, the stone terrace hops with diners making the most of our dramatic cliffside perch.
The bar is open seven days a week for lunch, dinner and snacks. Reservations are essential, especially at weekends. This is a bar restaurant popular with locals.
Please advise us of any dietary requirements you may have in advance of your stay.
RELAXED SEASIDE DINING
In our relaxed Bar Restaurant, you will find a menu that is both sophisticated and easygoing — a tribute to the very best of Irish cuisine.
Our menus offer a wide selection of local meat, vegetable and seafood dishes, including monkfish, Helvick cod, local crab, and chowder.
Rib-eye steaks are meltingly soft, while the desserts are classic Irish comfort food taken to the next level.
