Fantastic Steak easily the biggest on the whole island of Ireland with a few changes...I'd change the peas to a beef tomato and crispy onion other than those (personal choices) hands down 10/10..... Well Done

Enjoyed some of the best food and Guinness here!! The steak is enormous and flavorful- plenty for 2 to share- and the fish n chips were wonderful! The Guinness with black current made a Guinness drinker out of me (I don't typically enjoy dark beers). The atmosphere is very relaxing, and staff was very helpful and attentive. The bedroom was...

Spent a fantastic week at Angler's Rest in Ballyconnell. It's the best place for miles around to put your feet up after a long day's fishing and chat to the locals and fellow anglers about the one that got away. Serves a damned fine pint of Guinness too. And for those who didn't manage to catch their tea, this place... More

We were so... More

Dinner for 2 adults and 2 children was expensive in comparison with other bar menus around the country. We were travelling around the country and had better food for less. Disappointed.

Last Sunday 15/05/2011 13 of us went into the Anglers Rest for dinner as it was reccommended to us. When we arrived in and said we were a party looking for food the waitress told us we couldnt order as a group and we would have to wait for 20mins before we could order. We just sat down at 3...

The Anglers Rest is perfectly positioned, serves good food and good beer and Francis will give you good information and is an excellent host. The rooms are very comfortable and more befitting of a small hotel than merely rooms above a pub. The breakfast is comprehensive to say the least, don't worry about booking in here.
