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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Generous portions and a definite buzz in the place but overall an average experience for the price. Food was TASTY but NOT HOT. The muscles I had were definitely left on the pass too long.. The BEEF BURGER was FRESH AND DELICIOUS, but the Chips...were cold.. The owners would do well to take a few tables off the floor, but in today’s economy these things happen during the dinner rush. Would return on a week night 7/10More

We ate here twice whilst staying nearby and it was fantastic! We had our Cockapoo/dog with us and they gladly welcomed us and the host or manager/ owner made sure our pooch was treated with as much hospitality as the humans offering a wee bowl...of water. We felt very welcome, there was a great ambience with a roaring fire, good lighting and excellent, happy staff! The food was delicious each time so much so my girls couldn’t resist the curry twice! It’s a popular spot and it’s no wonder! Thanks again for a fantastic dining experience!More

Very delicious and lovely staff. We had the beef bourginion and the chicken curry which we can both highly recommend. The service was also really quick and everything was just good.

Incredible bartenders and wait staff serving up Clifden’s best fare! Must have Fish &. Chips. Freshest salads paired with brie. Irelands finest root vegetable soups. After dozens of visits never disappointed!

After reading positive reviews about Guys Bar, we made sure to eat here one of our two nights in Clifden. The place was booked, but we were able to get a table later in the evening, and the food was delicious. My wife had pizza,...which she loved, and I had the beef bourguignon, which was one of the best dinners I had in Ireland. The place has a friendly atmosphere, too. We highly recommend it.More

The staff are very welcoming and eager to please. We were there for lunch, and dinner another day, both days the staff and food were fantastic. The menu has a great choice and there is a daily 'specials board'. The food is locally sourced and...of the highest quality. We highly recommend Guys Bar as a destination for lunch and dinner.More

10 days in Ireland and we’ve had lots of good food but this was my favorite. Service was great and food was delicious. We had the mussels, seafood pasta special and curry. Then gluttonously finished it off with the Baileys Cheese Cake. Pasta was a...10!More

Stopped in for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff could not be any friendlier. Everyone included the kids left full and satisfied.

Fantastic service and food! We went twice because it was the only place we experienced both in the fortnight we spent in Clifden. We had scampi, croque monsieur, buffalo mozzerralla salad and pizza. All were delicious and the service and staff were really lovely as...is the setting. Go if you're in town.More

We returned to Guys in Clifden and the food is still excellent. The only little observation l would have was that the sticky toffee pudding wasent as nice as the one l had the first time I was there. Didn’t like the popcorn on it...,and there was less sauce. My husband had the fish and chips and thought they were lovely. I had the toasted sour dough with ham cheese tomato and onion. Also really good. Nikita looked after us and she was as lovely as ever. A great addition to guys and so friendly. Actually the service is excellent and the staff very good. We would return here for lunch anytime we were in Clifden and would recommend it to everyone.More

Got a table for four one afternoon for some food and a drink. Ordered the special smoked salmon salad / fish and chips and pizza - all, without exception, were fantastic. Food was well prepared and very tasty. To top it off the service from...the staff was as good as you could expect. Definitely a place to stop when in ClifdenMore

We visited on a rainy but busy weekend. Waited a few minutes for a table, glad we did. Servers were super friendly and patient with our kids and indecisive adults. Unfortunately right after we ordered food, the power went out! Emergency lights came on and...they announced the kitchen could not make food….yet somehow our meals came out a while later, slightly modified (I had chicken curry served with chips/fries because they couldn’t make rice)! Everything was tasty and good.More

Our favourite place to eat in Clifden. There's often a short wait at the bar before getting a table but it's definitely worth the wait. The menu isn't massive but the range is very good and the food is excellent. We are a family of...5, kids range from 14 to 6. Empty plates and full tummies. Very attentive and friendly staff. Looking forward to our next visit when we return to Clifden.More
