This is a real gem of a restaurant! So much so that whilst travelling the Wild Atlantic Way to do a recce for a phototour, we went on two consecutive evenings. The service was friendly, the ambience wonderful and the seafood outstanding. We will return with a group for sure!

Pizzas are a favourite with kids and the lunchtime specials are excellent but evening meals are over priced and the atmosphere has nothing to recommend it: the acoustics are terrible, everything echoes and is noisy and most of the Seating is dark with little cosiness

Had spent the day sailing and rowing and went to enjoy a drink with a few friends. What a find. Something for everyone and even took a picture with the 70 year old fridge. At the front of the bar, good company and friendly service. At the back, music to be enjoyed. A great bar, friendly staff and must when you visit Bantry.

Great place. Top class tapas. Quality of the food was exceptional. Meatballs with tomatoes/cheese is simple but worth going back for! Service was also friendly and polite yet of a high standard.

We had dinner at the Snug and took full advantage of their great menu featuring local seafood. The service was excellent, firendly staff. Nice to hear banter with the local customers. The styling in the small cosy bar/restaurant is totally unique - a tree and beautifully carved tables and chairs. Food portions were very generous and the prices were very reasonable. Missing out on a meal in the Snug would be a big mistake.

We popped into the bar after a meal in Bantry and as we were staying in the hotel it seemed a natural decision. We were suitably impressed by the bar, the decor was modern, the drinks extensive and the bar staff were superb! I fell in love with the cocktails and kudos to the very talented guy who showed real passion for his trade! There was a lovely friendly atmosphere with locals and tourists alike chatting like old friends to each other! The bar really is a credit to the hotel. We can't comment on the food as we didn't get a chance to eat but would definitely recommend a few cheeky drinks in the bar!

Had a meal with friends in Arundel's last week . Lucky to get a table as restaurant and bar full. Food though was only so so . Location lovely with a sunny aspect overlooking the harbour . If in the area again, would give it another go - maybe we were unlucky the night we ate there.
