On entering Hackett’s bar you will see there are a multitude of influences that make this bar an exciting and ndividual establishment situated in the centre of the popular tourist village of Schull. The interior is clearly unique and fascinating with a large collection of paintings and framed photographs featuring some familiar faces from the locality. An interesting extensive bar menu and offers a distinctive dining experience.

We stayed in Schull for just two nights and stopped in Hackett's Bar for an after dinner drink. There was live music on a Sunday evening and the place was quite lively. We had a wonderful visit with local characters. Everyone was welcoming and friendly--it was an evening to remember! If you want to go to a place where locals hang out--this is the place!

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

I was there for dinner and can recommend this beautiful restaurant. We had great aperitifs, excellent choices at the starters buffet with fresh oysters, perfectly grilled lamb chops as main and a various choice of delicious Deserts. The staff is very professional and welcomes each guest. The dinner was accompanied by a piano player.

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.
