A Great Dining Experience

This is a real dining experience. The food is absolutely scrumptious and there is a great range of choices. It is very obvious that Bar One is a mecca for people who enjoy good food. We were in around 6pm and the demand for tables...was constant. It is evident that the restaurant appeals to locals and visitors alike. There is a lovely buzz and ambience about the place and the proprietor and the staff members are extremely welcoming and attentive. This is a real food heaven experience and it offers great value for money.More

Good food in a bar setting!

Once you know that this is a bar.....setting.... busy, crowded and noisy in the evenings..... not for a quiet conversation. Skewers as starter .... a bit on small side. nothing special Sea bass was E25..... properly cooked. E40 for starter and main in bar? Maybe...Staff were a bit uptight and over-conscious. I know its a bar .... so that's the way bar tenders tend to be I guess. Waiters tend to be more relaxed and give you more time to decide.... there is no rush..... you are spending your money!More

Fantastic

What a find! Great welcome, the front of house couldn't do enough for us. Atmosphere on a wet Thursday was superb - this really is a buzzing bar. Food was freshly cooked and top notch. The waiting staff were attentive and could not be faulted....Had a chat with the manager/owner(?) at the end of the night and you could not meet a more charming individual. It really was the perfect end to a few days in the west of Ireland. 10/10 for everything...BUT! You do need to book in advance. Highly reccomended..More

Pleasant food, staff, and overall experience

Staff were welcoming on arrival. There was a good atmosphere especially for a weekday. The chicken wings were very tasty and I got the goats cheese burger which was nice. Overall, a good experience but a little pricey
