We went here twice with large groups (no reservation) & they were VERY accommodating. The shrimp skewers are amazing. Others also raved about the Venison pie & lamb stew & pasta dishes. They were very friendly didn't get rattled if someone changed their mind on something. Great place!

Stopped in for lunch. Seafood chowder was very good, definitely a 10 out of 10. The pork sandwich was just average. Wouldn’t recommend ordering extra chips — €6 per portion and they tasted over-fried in old oil. Service was fast with drinks and decent with food. Atmosphere was nice and relaxed, no loud music, even though the place was busy. Overall, a solid 4 out of 5. Would go back for the seafood chowder alone. Definitely recommend that.

What a remarkable little pub in the heart of Donegal. Great food, highly recommend the oysters and mussels. Refreshing pints. Very friendly staff.

Even though the restaurant is quite large, it fills up quickly. As soon as we were seated, a line started forming at the door. Feels like one of those spots all the tourists go to. With so many people, the service was pretty much absent. I tried the burger and the seafood linguine. The burger was a tad salty and the linguine was lacking in flavor. Maybe we came at a bad time.

Lovely atmosphere at the Olde Castle Bar. A bit of a wait for a table at peak dinner time but we were happy to grab some ginger beer (with bitters and lemon per the barkeeper’s recommendation) and sit in the cosy bar area. Excellent seafood and a mean lamb stew as well.

We were lucky to get a tight corner table on a Saturday afternoon. Food & service were great. Gluten free beer available- and very good! Also love the Kinnegar beer - and their marketing vibe is really fun. See the poster! Enjoy!! Even if your table is a tad uncomfortable 🍻😂

Terrific lunch experience here. One of their specials was a beef and mushroom Guinness pie. It was fantastically done. The location itself is very neat and gives that authentic pub vibe. Service was great too!
