About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
The Quay Bar and Brasserie is the perfect environment in which to sit back, admire the sweeping views of Lough Corrib, sip on a drink or enjoy a delicious meal. The intimate and informal setting is the perfect place in which to enjoy some hearty Irish cooking prepared with the finest local produce, swap stories of the day’s adventures and refresh yourselves with a couple of our most popular cocktails. In the winter, it’s ideal for sinking into the deep leather sofa in front of the welcoming open fire.

    To be honest disappointed and underwhelmed. Staff were initially attentive but once seated it was if we were invisible. Neighboring table were two men having a work meeting taking and making phone calls as if the were in the office, loud and audible and very distracting. Even though multiple tables were eyeballing them they were either clueless or just didn’t give a damn. So overall for an eagerly awaited lunch date with my family it was poor for its reputation and cost.

    The bar was particularly cold. People were sitting with the coats on. The fire was poor and the radiators were off which was a pity because it is lovely. I was so uncomfortable we had to go back to our room to enjoy the wine.

    we had very high expectations but were very disappointed. The service was the worst I have ever experienced, often ignored by staff. We waited 90 minutes before our drinks even arrived, we only got them as we had to ask. We waited even longer for our starters, two bowls of SOUP....which should not take that long. We weren’t given any bread either despite them saying they would bring them straight down. The soup was extremely tasteless and bland, very disappointing for the length of time we had to wait for it. Our mains weren’t much better, the chicken was over cooked and burnt in parts and we had to ask for our sides. We weren’t even asked if we wanted anything else such as desert/tea or coffee. Several people had similar issues and complaints as we ate. The whole experience was uncomfortable and we would have walked out before the starters even arrived had we not been staying the night. The excuses used were put down to a wedding taking place but with a venue of this calibre they should be used to looking after a small amount of people in a dining room. We then had to walk out and ask for the bill and nobody asked if everything was ok. We felt no point in complaining as several others had and nothing was done for them. The actual rooms and greeting we received when checking in were excellent and all of the staff were very friendly outside of the dining. Our only reason for staying the night at the lodge was to see what it would be like as a possible wedding venue. The dining experience alone has made up our mind for us and we would not return.

    I gladly give the Quay Bar and restaurant the highest recommendation. It is a beautiful location for an enjoyable evening. The food was divine, portion sizes were perfect and the speed at which the food was served was timed well. The staff were very professional, yet friendly. I'm very much looking forward to a return visit

FAQs

Quay Bar and Brasserie is open every day from 12:00 to 22:00. These consistent daily hours make it easy to plan lunch or an early or later dinner during the week or at the weekend. If you’re visiting on a public holiday or need a special seating, it’s a good idea to call ahead to confirm.

The venue welcomes families and many guests report feeling welcomed and at home, people have celebrated birthdays and enjoyed family meals here. The setting is described as intimate and informal with comfortable leather sofas and views, but specific accessibility features (ramps, accessible restrooms, etc.) aren’t listed. If you need accessible seating or space for a stroller, call ahead so the team can confirm and reserve the best spot.

The dress code is smart casual. Guests typically dress comfortably but neatly, which suits the brasserie’s relaxed yet polished atmosphere, a good choice for date nights, family dinners, or casual celebrations. If you’re planning a special occasion, you can always call ahead to check any event-specific expectations.

There isn’t consistent, specific mention of portion sizes in available guest feedback. Guests describe the food as "excellent" and say the experience felt like good value, which suggests portions are satisfying for many, but portion size isn’t explicitly detailed. If portion size matters to you (kids, sharing plates, big appetite), call the restaurant ahead and ask about typical portions or share how you’d like to eat.

Yes, Quay Bar and Brasserie is a strong choice for a relaxed date night. The brasserie offers sweeping views of Lough Corrib, an intimate, informal setting with deep leather sofas and a welcoming open fire in winter. Guests often praise the excellent food and attentive staff, and some have celebrated special occasions there. If you prefer a very quiet table, consider an earlier booking or request a quieter spot when you reserve.

The atmosphere is warm, casual and scenic, think hearty Irish cooking, sweeping Lough Corrib views, and cosy leather sofas by an open fire in winter. Guests frequently praise the welcoming, attentive staff and describe the place as comfortable for relaxed meals or special occasions. Expect a casual-dining vibe that suits a relaxed lunch, a cozy dinner, or a small celebration.

While exact busy times aren’t documented, guests report both very attentive service and occasional noisy tables. For a more relaxed, quieter experience, consider an earlier lunch or an early dinner booking and request a quieter table when you reserve. The restaurant is open daily from 12:00–22:00, so midweek or early-evening slots will often feel calmer than peak weekend evenings.

Quay Bar and Brasserie offers an intimate, informal brasserie setting with a bar area and cosy seating options, including deep leather sofas and a welcoming open fire in winter. It’s designed for relaxed dining with views over Lough Corrib. The venue does not offer private-party/private dining rooms, so plan for open dining space and reserve early if you want a preferred table.

The posted hours show the Quay Bar and Brasserie is open Monday through Sunday from 12:00 to 22:00, which indicates daily service. For public holidays or special dates, it’s a good idea to call ahead to confirm opening hours or any adjusted holiday times before you visit.

Yes, the team has a track record of helping with special occasions (guests report staff going above and beyond for birthdays). While there’s no formal policy listed, it’s best to call ahead to request dietary accommodations, seating preferences, or celebration extras so the staff can prepare. Mention your plans when booking to give them time to ensure a smooth visit.
