I remember visiting here thirty years ago and it was exceptional. Nothing has changed! Perfect crab and chowder!! The service was very good and they have updated their coffee, which was delicious. You can pass through Letterfrack very easily but this place is a perfect spot for great food and lovely local atmosphere.Thank you. Great that you still enjoyed it so much - don't leave it for so long ;)

The Lodge restaurant has a winner in Chef Mark Jacobson. From the warm homemade sourdough bread with garlic butter to the salad of local greens to the entrees, which in our case were mixed seafood and root vegetable gratin, to the homemade ice creamâno detail was overlooked. Each course was lovingly prepared and artistically presented. Itâs clear that Chef Jacobson is on his way to stardom. The staff, led by Jessica, made us feel welcome and special. Who knew days of hiking could end in such gustatory bliss!

Bar and restaurant located in Leenane hotel
Reviewed By Joy O
I love this hotel, the staff, food, ambiance is just fantastic. We arrived on Sunday 30th June and as our room wasn't ready they upgraded us to a deluxe room. The whole stay was the most relaxing place, the food was unbelievable ( I am a chef, so hard to please), the service was great, we had David and he bent over backward every time to see if everything was ok for us. I couldn't highly recommend this hotel, Agnes and Conor were a pleasure to deal with also and deserve to be supported as nothing is too difficult for them and certainly deserve the support.I was delighted to hear that they are staying open until after Christmas so a return visit in November is on the cards. I have to mention Thomas behind the bar, was a pleasure to have someone so friendly and a great craic also. Also was delighted that the phone coverage wasnt great so as my Husband is left employed it gave me a much need break plus myself. It is so picturesque kilary harbor and the walk into the village only took about 10 mins. The bar that was featured in the film The Field was still the same as it was when they filmed it. The locals were lovely also and very friendly. Highly recommended!!!!

Reviewed By Carlo Z
As soon as you step in, on the front wall you can see an excellent newspaper's review about this bar that begins with something like: "In the middle of nowhere there is a bar..." etc. The review goes on with words of praise which I completely agree except for the the "middle of nowhere"... This is the middle of Ireland, (not exactly "nowhere"), very close to either Connemara Nat'nl park and Galway. Besides, the place is truly great as well as the food, fresh and tasty. Last but not least, something about the staff. I can say just one thing: my wife forgot her bag there with everything inside (I really mean everything: from the glasses to the plane tickets). Well they found it, kept it safe and gave us back when we returned after hours of anguish and distress. So long.

Dinner at the Owenmore restaurant and the sister pub are both outstanding. The formal restaurant was one of our highlight meals over a two-week trip. Everything was local where possible with the oysters coming from across the street of our waiterâs house. Every dish was outstanding including the beef tenderloin and the array of deserts and cheeses.
