Oh a warm Thursday afternoon my better half and I decided to try a local Bar/Kitchen for some food…read more Online the review looked good but old, so was wondering what it would be like having recently only moved to the area. When you walk in you are in a Bar and an appealing bar too I must say nice wooden old time features and lots of TV's if you want to watch some sports. Even the local bar flies where pleasant. When you walk through to the back you come to the open kitchen and then your waiter who will seat you. I can't remember our waiters name but we had 3 different people throughout the night. We had a choice of seats which is not surprising for a Thursday night I guess. The menu is small but has a lot on it, fish looks to be a speciality. We ordered a pint of Harp and some house wine and it was as you would expect. Now the menu had chicken wings for a starter and I am a sucker for wings esp hot wings! These where butter coated wings I think was the term. I had o try them none the less. I also ordered a fillet steak medium and some garlic chips. My partner ordered the ribs with Sweet potato fries. Our wings as you can see came in those wee buckets that things come in now very nice and with a BBQ dip. As I mentioned being a hot wing fan I do like my celery with my wings and I also like the wing to come separated as usually it's a mess trying to do it yourself. These wings however where lovely and came apart with ease. A lot nicer than the ones we had in the Balmoral! The batter was light and crisp and the BBQ sauce was a nice taste with it. A happy wing customer I would say. The mains came out quickly after and I normally like a bit of a weight if I am honest but none the less. The ribs looks great with 3 parts piled up with "slaw" and the steak was amazing. It came with onion rings and shored on top of two roast potatoes and surrounded by pepper sauce. Now I do love a good steak and this did not disappoint. Cooked exactly how I wanted and was just perfect. The sides where lovely too not too much garlic on the chips. I was unable to finish the whole lot but enjoyed it! I never got a chance to taste the ribs but they did look good. At this point we were both stuffed and really wanted to try the after eight brownie but just couldn't fit it in and retreated to the front bar for more drinks. We noticed you can also get food here and plenty where. All in all a great time and would 100% go back! Service was great and polite. Now I think I had 3 drinks and 2 wines plus the start and two mains came to about £50 which was great value. You will see the size of the steak in the pictures I think it was 10oz. Would definitely recommend to people but book if you're going at the weekend. They also have a stone oven for the pizzas which looked great.

The coach is well known throughout Northern Ireland as being one of the biggest and best nightclubs…read morein the area. The downstairs nightclub caters to the young crowd, maybe 18-21 while the upstairs nightclub caters towards the older crowd. Entry prices vary depending on which night of the week you go and if there is a special theme. The area can be quite rough when closing time comes so i would advise anyone going here to have a taxi booked or a lift arranged so that you can get away from any possible trouble. Open wednesday, friday and saturday night. The bar is pleasant and friendly. Prices in both the nightclub and bar are reasonable.

Once you find Castle Street in Dromore, Boyles Restaurant and Bar is clearly visible the striking…read morepink and green paint ensures that it stands out from its neighbours. Inside, it's definitely one of the most welcoming places you're likely to come across. The rustic scent of logs as they burn strongly in the open fireplace mingles with the enticing smell of hot whiskey. And on a very cold February day, could anyone ask for more? Well, perhaps, some excellent food. And in a kitchen presided over by the great Raymond Murray (formerly Head Chef of H2O in Belfast and Deanes), there's no doubting the food is of the highest possible quality. While Raymond manages the kitchen side of things, Martin Darwin is 'mine host'. His is the welcoming face that greets you as you enter from the cold street. Within seconds, you find yourself sitting beside the roaring fire, toasting your hands. Though of course, you may choose to wrap your hands around one of those afore-mentioned hot whiskeys to take the chill from the bones. If whiskey isn't to your taste, hot tea or coffee does just as well. As you sip, take a look at the menu or indeed, order some nibbles while you do this. There are mixed Italian olives, a selection of home baked breads with tapenade or the ever-popular nachos. I choose a starter of salmon, smoked by the famous Walter Ewing of the Shankill Road. Thick and juicy, it's easy to understand just why his products are raved about. Other starters include a terrine of chicken with onion marmalade, Silverhill Duck in a spring roll or Kilkeel prawns. Mains include poultry, fish, lamb and steaks. And Raymond knows just how to give an excellent choice crisp duckling, roast goose breast with potato and apple stuffing or Lebanese chicken. There's lamb shank or lamb fillet; steaks offer a 20-oz T-bone (for an unbelievable £20.95), sirloin or dry aged Angus fillet. The home cut chips are real potatoes when was the last time you got the real McCoy? Spuds are peeled and thickly cut and taste like chips used to taste. I stayed with fish for my main course. I just couldn't resist the pale smoked Portavogie haddock, served with spinach and mash and topped with a delicate poached free-range egg. A combination of flavours that definitely tickles the taste buds. Martin recommended the house Chablis to accompany the fish, an excellent choice from the exciting and varied wine list. For pudding I choose Raymond's signature dessert, his award-winning iced cappuccino parfait, a delicious confection that really resembles a cup of cappuccino. I can see why it won an award! I then finish off with a Boyles Blend Americano coffee with a smooth Bushmills whiskey just the thing to round off a truly great meal. I felt truly welcome, the restaurant was clean and tidy, the food exquisite, the service efficient and for the quality the price tag was very reasonable.
