Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited Cosy Joe's last Saturday the 16th of October 2021.. We have never been in a place so welcoming! All vaccine certs checked also! We ordered food and it was amazing. A number of staff all young kept asking us throughout our meal were we okay for everything..(btw very reasonabily priced) We were so happy with the service we decided to return later that night for a drink and we were so baffled that there was a DJ on. (All Restrictions Adhered To) Great music,even played our song! DJ Sean was his name the best tunes! We have a hen party coming up and definitely Cosys will be our number one in Westport! We will be in touch!

We dined here earlier this week. Service was pleasant but extremely slow and we had to go looking for cutlery and things ourselves a couple of times as the waiting staff seemed to forget about us. The food was okay. My children ordered Cokes but were given 'Splits' which was not what they asked for. Looking at the bill afterwards, I realise I was charged for Cokes! Cosy Joes is alright but it's not great.

Called in for a drink and the food looked good, when the waitress came over I asked what she would recommend, the burger which looked really good or the fish and chips, she said both were their most popular dishes. I asked was the batter crispy and I was told it was, the fish and chips is really good. Well all I can say is that she probably never tasted the fish and chips, the fish was dry and tasteless and the batter spongy. If a chef can’t cook a crispy batter, and serve really fresh fish it shouldn’t be on the menu in my opinion. I will come back here again but not for the food.

Door man told me I needed to bring chips to come in. I assume it was because I was from Spain. Wife asked what was wrong and he insisted I brought chips to eat in front of him. This was our second place to visit for the night. Awful service.

Came here Saturday for my hen party for cocktail making, the manager was extremely rude. When we entered despite having a booking for vip that night with hennit he stated it was a bank holiday and he couldn’t guarantee us a seat despite it being booked
Why would they accept the booking if they could not cater and the way he delivered it was so rude it was so bad we didn’t even go there that night we went to bar 23 where we were well looked after and they lost business from 27 hens who were all good drinkers

Honestly one of the worst tasting dinners I have ever had. What was handed to our table was genuinely embarrassing and inedible.
First off there was no processco or aperol available. We ordered dinner …2 curries and 2 burgers. Not one bit of veg in the curry and there was 3 pieces of chicken. The curry was from a jar.
I have never had worse food and the shocking thing is is that this place charges 16 euro for a main course.
The food is terrible and the prices should reflect this.
Do not go here, go anywhere besides, if you are looking for nice food!

I eat with friends at Cosy Joe' in Westport yesterday evening, July 16th.
I am a Coeliac and a Gluten Free Diet is the only way this medical condition can be managed.
First of all when I was given the Menu the first thing I noticed; there was nothing to suit my dietary requirements despite calling before hand to make sure and I was told they catered for Coeliacs and my dietary requirements would be catered for.
When ordering with the waitress, I outlined my concerns about nothing on the Menu to facilitate my dietary requirements and she said she would check with Chef but to order something and she would get back to me after checking with Chef, with hesitance I ordered the Curry.
The waitress came with our order and the Curry was put in front of me without the Naan Bread and as I presumed she checked with Chef and that the Curry was ok.
I am clearly advising anyone with GF intolerance not to go to Cosy Joe's as that Curry was clearly not Gluten Free and I am now suffering the consequences that clearly say otherwise obviously only people who are Coeliac or suffer from GF intolerance will understand this and it is not good enough to be ordering food and paying for it when it takes days to recover from eating anything with Gluten.
Will definitely not be recommending Cosy Joe's sorry.

Management at Cosy Joe's/Porter House
Dear R1799GAannej
Thank you for your review of your recent visit to Cosy Joe’s Bar. As a well-established and renowned food and beverage business in the centre of Westport we are very disappointed to receive such feedback and to learn that you would definitely not be recommending us to others.
We were aware of the issues you have described through the email you sent to our office on 16th July. We responded immediately to your email promising to investigate fully your complaint and to respond to you further as soon as our investigation was complete. Unfortunately, you did not give us the chance to do this before you posted your review on the same day.
Our food menu has full information on food allergens including gluten, indicating which foods contain and which foods do not contain gluten. We also request on our menu that customers with specific dietary requirements speak directly to our staff. Rather than listing gluten-free options for coeliacs we would rather our staff engage directly with our customers so that we can better cater for their needs. It is difficult to understand how the confusion occurred with your order. Our curry is listed on the menu as containing gluten.
We have a busy food business at Cosy Joe’s with hundreds of customers passing through our doors each week, some of whom have food intolerances such as yours. We take their requests and their conditions very seriously and we offer food and drink options to cater for them as best we can.
We appreciate you both emailing us and posting a review and once again we are sorry that we were not given the chance to contact you directly with our response.
Kind regards

We had just ran the marathon and wanted simple pub grub.
At arrival they didn’t have Prosecco , aperol which was strange as it was a busy weekend in Westport and they said they didn’t have stock in. Poor from bar manager surely.
We ordered starters and main.
The main course was 17 euro.
The picture is exactly what we were handed. Tasted like a jar of curry and the chips were cold.
My friends are the chicken burger and it was like a frozen Birds Eye from a shop. If you’re going to hand food across of that standard the price should reflect.
Never again. Disgusting. 140 euro bill for the group of 6.

Went to Cozy Joes for a dinner and drinks reservation with a group of 15 for my hen. The booking had been made in April with much correspondence to confirm booking, numbers, where we would be seated etc.
When we arrived they had no idea of our booking and the waitress tried her best to accommodate us. In the meantime while speaking to the manager Dominic about the situation, he was rude and totally impolite and didn't have any interest in solving the problem. We waited 2 hours to before dinner could be served, all at separate tables and to make matters worse 3 of our meals, including mine, was forgotten about. Again Dominic was very rude about it and he didn't even try to check why the meals were late even after I explained that they had not arrived.
We made the most of it and I did feel bad for the waitress taking care of us as she was trying her best but she had no solutions to offer us especially when the manager didn't seem to care or support his staff or customers.
We called our bus and left shortly after our meal as we didn't want to give them anymore of our money for such appalling service.

Dear 125emman
Thank you for your review of your recent visit to Cosy Joe’s Bar. Over the past 25 years, we have become renowned as a venue for hen and stag parties and for providing a great night of food, drinks and entertainment. Our staff have played a large part in the success of these parties.
We are very disappointed and shocked to hear you describe a member of our staff as rude and uninterested in helping. This does not reflect the type of service we pride ourselves on and we can assure you it is something we have investigated, and that this member of staff is no longer in employment at Cosy Joe’s.
It is unfortunate that there was confusion over the time of your booking and for that we would like to offer our apologies. As you are aware, there had been a number of changes to your booking over the previous months including to the date and time and this may have resulted in the error that occurred.
Once again, we thank you for sharing your feedback with us and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back to Cosy Joe’s in the future.
Kind regards

Our temperature was checked on arrival which I was pleased to see. They seemed to be understaffed as it wasn’t busy and it was about 20 minutes before any orders were taken. When our order was taken they didn’t ask how we would like the steak cooked and the option of chicken or vegetable curry wasn’t given. Our food took just under an hour to arrive after ordering and some of the meals were cold and part or our order was wrong. Overall it was fine however the standard compared to similarly priced restaurants in the area was below average in our opinions.

I was in Westport with 5 friends for the weekend and a restaurant (called the Gallary) we had booked for dinner double booked and we were stuck without anywhere to go. Ray the manager of cosy joes told us they were full but he arranged for a table in their sister pub (the Porter house) and took our dinner order and arranged for the food to be brought over to us in the Porter house which didn’t serve food.
10/10 will be back to cosy joes, customer experience was second to none

We ate here for lunch while passing through Westport. What attracted us to the restaurant was the lovely outdoor seating area both front and back.
The menu seemed good as well. Staff were friendly.
We had the Steak Sandwich & The Cajun Chicken Burger.
The steak was quite fatty, the salad on both dishes was poor and the chips weren’t nice at all. The Cajun chicken burger was nice.
We were really disappointed and felt that what we paid did not justify the food we received. Wouldn’t recommend.

Thank you for posting a review of your recent dining experience at Cosy Joe’s Bar. We are sorry to hear that overall we did not meet your expectations with our food. Thank you for your positive comments on our outdoor dining areas, our staff service and also the standard of our Cajun Chicken Burger.

We will be reviewing this with our supplier.
Thank you again for your review. We do hope that we will have the chance to welcome you once more to Cosy Joe’s in the future.

Was in westport for the weekend with a few friends. Called into Cosys Joes Saturday for a few drinks and some food. Really disappointed with the service. Staff were abrupt and not interested in our service. Waited over an hour for food and the place was by no means packed. The drinks were fine to be fair but service was poor and some of the food was cold and had to be sent back. After bringing this to a member of staffs attention they were not overly concerned but brought it away and it came back fine but it seemed and tasted like it was over heated in a microwave. When we again raised concerns a member of staff agreed to give a decent discount on account of our dissatisfaction. I was here several times in the past and always had good experiences but unfortunately far from it this time. Not at all the standard you would expect and overall very disappointed.

Having stayed in Westport over the weekend we adjourned to Cosy Joe's for a light spot of lunch and to watch the Liverpool versus Man u game on Sunday after noon.
Having been served a lovely soup and sandwich by the lovely Amelia we settled down to watch the game . This venue is certainly cosy and comfy and well decorated with bright modern decor . We had more than a few pints as we forced to consume in an effort to drown our sorrows watching Pool trashing the opposition by 7 goals ti nil .Great spot and we will return.
