We took a seat outside, under the stairs which was completely covered. Our cheeseboard was enjoyed with the candlelight ambiance. I couldn't stop looking around and smiling. I will say while service was nice, it was slow and we actually didn't get exactly what we ordered. There was only one person in the whole restaurant working. I believe he was taking orders and preparing them. The menu is very selective and doesn't offer alot of options. It is my recommendation to stop by for a glass of wine and cheese plate before dinner at another location. This place is gorgeous.

The ambiance alone is worth the visit. The restaurant itself is below street level so eating outdoors in their outdoor seating area is like sitting in a romantic nook - candles galore, gorgeous twinkle lighting upon entry, a small fire place/woodstove(?), and tables & chairs that somehow felt so cozy. I can't say much for indoors because I only ventured in for the restrooms but it seems warm & cozy and on a colder night, a better place to dine. I will say however, based on the set up, unless I missed something, this location is not handicap accessible. Aside from the ambiance itself, the options were plentiful for boards and wine. Our host/server was so helpful and spoke to us about the daily cheese options and what kind of make up we'd like since only one of us eats meat. The board that was brought out was perfection. In addition to a delicious selection of cheeses, we ordered green olives and not just one order of garlic flatbread but two bc it was so tasty with the cheeses. I think I could eat the onion marmalade by the spoonful. The service, quality of food & wine, and ambiance made this restaurant a memorable night and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

Ballybunion once had a strange, steam-powered monorail that linked the town with Listowel. This place gets especially packed during the 'Listowel Races' in mid-September and it is absolutely brilliant! Here's a little verse from a tune written by Pecker Dunne about his favorite sea town in Ireland: "To take a walk down Main Street, and see my friends from home, Go tell my own true sweetheart, I never more will roam, Go tell the lads I'm coming back--that's where I want to be, in my little Irish home town, Ballybunion by the sea."

I was in this in this small coastal village/town, (which is 15km west of Listowel), in 2007 working at the modern hugely impressive, 500 seat 'Tinteán Theatre'. The place has a very impressive number of pubs too, a great number of them with names appealing to golf mad tourists like The Freeway & The Bunker, and of course The Presidents Bar! Oh I sampled them all in the week or so I was here, but the one I remember for it's hospitality & of course good beer, was The Railway. (Ballybunion once had a strange, steam-powered monorail that linked the town with Listowel). I'll never forget it that it was whilst watching the tv in the Railway one evening that I was first introduced to "The Podge & Rodge Show" on RTÉ 2. Not that the tv was allowed to kill the art of conversation, and a grand fella I was working with called Jack impressed us all with his ability to identify all the national county hurling teams from a display of model players. A good old place for a sing song too, and I heard some jokes about Kerry girls which my undaunted respect for them will not allow me to repeat here! So you get the idea, I have very harmonious memories of Ballybunion's Railway Bar, so appropriately I'll end with with a verse of the song: "To take a walk down Main Street, and see my friends from home, Go tell my own true sweetheart, I never more will roam, Go tell the lads I'm coming back--that's where I want to be, in my little Irish home town, Ballybunion by the sea."
