The Bistro has bicycles and other things hanging from the ceiling which are covered in dust. We were concerned that it would be blown onto our food from the air conditioning unit.Breakfast fairly standard fare - kept warm via hot plates which make it dry and over cooked.Hi WetherbyLady,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review; we can assure you that they are cleaned regularly. I do apologise, we have taken note of your feedback to pass on to the relevant department. We do hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards,The Timmy Macs Team

I have eaten here each year for the past ten years when visiting in Adare. I was totally embarrassed this year. I took a relative in for dinner. We sat in the back and they did see us come in. No one offered us a menu or came to take an order. They were busy with a barbecue in the back. They literally walked past us five times and never acknowledged us. The bartender saw us and never acknowledged us. There are other pubs in Adare and I doubt that this one will see us again when we are there next June.

Recommended by the Adare Manor staff. A lovely quaint house with a great price fixe. All food was great. Could not say anything against it. Ribeye was good and salmon looked wonderful. Prix fixe was a great deal.

We were in Adare for a week and this became our favorite spot. Really great good and friendly staff. We had a variety of different food items and they were all quite good. It's easy to find on Main street. Many families were there enjoying the food and atmosphere. While it's a pub it's really kid friendly. We will definitely be back.

Our tour bus gave us some time in Adare during which we looked for lunch and settled on The Arches. Service was quick to enable us to get back to the coach. The staff was friendly and the food good. We are glad we found The Arches.

The difference between really good restaurants and great restaurants is the little things, attention to detail. The staff at 1826 do everything to make sure they are covering those little details with their service, which is exemplary. They need some support from the kitchen in this respect also. The food is great but they need to pay attention to the details. When you can eat your side dishes because they are served at the right temperature but you cannot touch your main course because it is too hot to come within an inch of your lips it spoils an otherwise great experience. The little things.

Adorable Adare is a hard place to get away from the tourist crowds, and this place also fills up with overflow from the nearby Manor guests, so you may very well find, as we did, that quiet conversation will be difficult because of the small space ringing with loud conversations of the large tables of touring parties near you. In our case, a large party of 10-12 American corporate/professional colleagues nearly shouted over each other to be heard, and one actually stood up at table and loudly toasted (this in a small room with only three other tables very nearby.). We were seated downstairs; maybe upstairs acoustics would have been better? That aside, we found the service and food good but not memorable. Portions are generous, though, and prices very reasonable. Dear Visitor,Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We're delighted you enjoyed the food and service but sorry that the room was too noisy for you on the night.Our cottage dates from the 1820s and as such, the atmosphere can be described as intimate, an atmosphere which people generally enjoy. As you said, the guests beside you were shouting, so, understandably, you did not enjoy your meal.Thank you nonetheless for the four stars, and we wish you all the best on the rest of your travels.Kind regards,Julie and David

We dined here as a group of 4. From beginning to end the whole experience was fabulous. We were seated at the most beautiful table overlooking the garden and golf course. The menu is great value for money for the quality of food you receive. The staff were so professional yet friendly, ensuring the whole experience is relaxed. The food is presented beautifully and every dish was just beautiful, the cocktails were divine as were all the added extras throughout the meal. Dining in The Oak Room is an experience not to be missed. Weâre so lucky to have a restaurant like this in our local area!

Absolutely delighted with the Glen Tavern.After suffering the truely awful O'Driscolls Bar on the other side of the river the day before, the Glen Tavern was a joy - everything you hope a traditional Irish pub should be... friendly helpful staff who were only too happy to put sport on the various screens around the pub, great food and that was well priced (and a good pint too) and pleasent fellow customers.For anyone drinking in the centre of Limerick City, I'd say give it a visitHi there wayoutsider, We are delighted to hear that we managed to turn your evening around for the better during your visit. Thank you so much for your lovely review and your recommendation of pub. We hope that next time you're around Limerick, you'll call in to see us again! Kind Regards, Ger.

I visited hook & ladder for the first time at the weekend. Despite the staff being extremely busy - everyone we met still had a smile on their face and got us a table as soon as they could (we hadn't booked and didnt mind waiting). The menu had a wide selection and was very reasonably priced. We both had the full Irish breakfast and it was delicious and very plentiful. Our eyes were bigger than out bellies as we'd hoped to have coffee and one if their sweet treats after our brunch but we were too full after our full Irish. I'm looking forward to my next visit already.
