Loved it so much the first night that we came back for a second! The food and atmosphere were superb - traditional Irish fare for the most part, but at its very best: the shepherd's pie, beef and guinness stew, and vegetable soup were all top notch. There was live music the second night that blended traditional Irish sounds with more modern tunes. Everyone who worked here was so nice and friendly! Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who finds themself in Westport. read more

JJ O'Malley's is super quaint and old. The upstairs takes reservations and is quiet. A nice place for dinner. I had the beef special, and hubs ordered the fish stew. Both were good, but hubs enjoyed his fish more than I enjoyed my beef. I would definitely recommend dining here for the ambiance alone. A very special spot! read more

The energy and efficiency were beyond expectations. Food (fish) and wine were spectacular. Not to mention the service, recovered my wife's purse and more importantly arranged for us to eat with our new friends. Highly recommend read more

This has been one of the top restaurants on our trip, based on the taste of the food. It was sooo good. I got braised short ribs and my husband got the baked salmon. They both had a large amount of meat -and the potatoes were creamy. I highly recommend stopping here. The ambiance was cute, it's a pub but you eat up stairs for main restaurant and it's cozy and doesn't feel like a pub. Service was great. read more

Had such an amazing time at J.J.'s. Our waitress was great and all the food and drinks were top notch. We especially loved meeting Tom the owner who was so accommodating for our bigger group and came over to check in with us during dinner. They made the night so special for my father in law who was celebrating his retirement. 10/10 recommend! read more

Surprise hitter! Fantastic food for a pub. I got the fish chowder and prawn curry. The curry is amazing!! Never had anything like it, the broth is lighter than your typical American chowder and it's so rich and buttery and had a good amount of fish and veg. Pairs well with the brown bread and butter. The prawn curry was also fantastic! Sweet and flavorful and filled with prawns. The poppadom was crisp and salty and was a great textural contrast. read more

We 4 Americans were looking for good pub grub in an authentic setting and we really found it at JJ's. Cottage pies, chips, properly poured Guinness. What more could we ask for. Westport has a goodly number of great pubs which we tried during our week in this charming town but JJ's is one of the tops. Don't hesitate, go! read more

We were quickly seated once we arrived, the servers were very friendly & welcoming! Lovely atmosphere, loved the dim lighting & pub setting. They had a good variety of gluten free meals to choose from - I chose the braised short ribs - they were amazing! I'd have to say, the best meal I had in my visit to Ireland!! I highly recommend J.J.O'Malley's! read more

lovely place but they tell you a wait time and it's 5 times that... #positivediscrimination

Upstairs is a nice place to have a relaxing dinner; downstairs is the typical pub scene with live music. I made reservations, and we ended up getting there a little earlier, and they were still able to sit us super-fast. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helped my mom pick what she should order. My mom ordered the appetizer, mussels, and a side salad, and it was the perfect amount of food. She could not stop telling me how great the sauce on the mussels was. I was having a craving for a cheeseburger, and it was really good, and they even had a gluten-free bun for me to be able to enjoy the entire thing. I do have to say we did not order the fajitas, but they smelled SOOOOO good. If I were to go back, I would want to try them. read more

Fantastic restaurant and bar Wonderful service by friendly efficient servers and truly delicious food Outstanding Irish band entertained us for hours read more

What a sweet little place upstairs. Very quaint and friendly warm atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. The whole experience was wonderful. We can't wait to return. read more

Traditional Irish pub on the ground floor and restaurant upstairs. Both recommended! Food was very good with terrific friendly service. In the pub, the band played traditional Irish music of high quality. On a Monday night, it was not too crowded, and we were able to have some decent space enjoying a pint and the nice music in a friendly environment. read more

We had Irish Coffee with Jameson carrot celery soup and sweet potato fries. The entire meal and experience was amazing. We were cold and wet from our hike up Brayhead to find the oldest geocache in Europe and we held a geocache event at the trailhead. read more

Went in for a quick pint and were delighted by the ambiance of the pub and the background music playing but best of all was Annie who made our visit. She was kind to us California tourists and gave us insights into the area. Lovely. The other young man behind the bar was also very pleasant but did not get his name. Thank you for a memorable visit. read more

Went later in the evening so probably missed the crowds. Was able to get a table easily. It did take some time to get our order placed.One of us has the blue cheeseburger which was actually two patty's but the obvious absence of blue cheese was a bit disappointing. The other had the mussels which were small in comparison to others we had but they were hot when they came to the table and the broth was very tasty. It took too long to get our bill as the waitress forgot to bring it to us. All in all it was just ok. read more

Surf and Turf was very good especially the prawns, just delicious!! My husband got Medallions of Beef with a salad. He's not much of a steak eater so the fact that he liked it is a plus. Service was good, restaurant was busy - I'd recommend making reservations. read more

Good service. The menu is out dated. They don't have pizza or the crab/cream cheese wrapped in salmon. Music doesn't start till 9:30, so Come Later if that is your goal Foods was good and prices appropriate Very pleasant environment and surprisingly not noisy I would recommend a go if In Westport read more

This place is great - We're from the US so this is a traditional irish pub and we were thrilled with our experience. The place is just what you'd hope it would look like - and the food was great. We actually came here twice on our trip. By far the best we had was the Rack of Irish Lamb - AMAZING! Dad had the chicken curry and also loved that! The mussles appetizer is also good, as was the seafood chowder. All in all, a great meal! Thank you! read more

Very nice menu. Should have reservations but we got a 7:30 slot after walking in at 6:45 on a Thursday in mid September. 4 small prices of bread for two people. Good bread I had beef medallions. You are give a choose of 5 different sauces. I picked the red wine and I asked for a sample of the Mexican spicy sauce. The meat portion was about 3/4 of an inch thick and 5 inches in diameter. It was very tender and tasty. The sauces were about 2 oz each served on the side. The Mexican had very mild spice but was very tasty tomato based (guess). The wine was good also. My wife had surf and turf. She loved the prawns and the stake was good We ended with the Baileys cheesecake. It was tasty very light like the kind made with gelatin. The service was good. We had a 22 euro wine and each meal was about 22 euro so the total was 74 euro. Very nice and cozy room. read more

Update your hours listed on your website... waited for 30 minutes until 530 and apparently you aren't opening today.

We arrived at the town at 9pm and everything was practically closed, except for this place. Ordered the Darne of Salmon and it was fantastic! Finished with the Dark Chocolate Brownie, which was superb. Totally recommend it. read more

Have eaten here several times and the food and service are exceptional. Its loved by the locals and travelers alike. Great stop in westport across the street from matt malloy's pub. read more

Traditional and up to date Irish food. Excellent service and taste. We will return. We try to go every time we are in Westport, but reservations highly recommended. We shared T-bone steak, which was excellent. Nice quiet place with great food. read more

I ate here on Sunday. I had the Caesar salad which was good with crisp leaves of romaine and big chunks of bacon. It tasted good but wish anchovies would be on the salad for a proper Caesar. For the main I had the lamb chops. The lamb was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I would definitely come back here for a meal. If trying to get in on a Saturday I would recommend a reservation. We tried on Saturday around 7 pm and was told 9:30 was the earliest, so had to go elsewhere for Saturday dinner. read more

We were a walk in family of 10 people and got our own little upstairs cozy room, the staff were brilliant and food was the best we had in Westport. I will be recommending this place to friends that visit the town in the future. read more
