One meal that is a must have are the Irish tapas, mainly because they have chicken goujons. The goujons here have quite a nice crust and a very tender taste. There is also a hotel attached to the pub, which offers lovely hotel rooms as well. The staff is also really kind and happy to help. Overall it has a soft spot in my heart. Shannon would not be Shannon without the old lodge (and the airport).

I liked this bar so well that I stayed for extra drinks, and I hope to go back. 'Nuff said right there.

Three of the four of us got the soup of the day which was a puréed veggie dish. It was healthy, light, and hot. They give you some dry house made bread with it which is a great compliment to the dish. My friend wanted a Guinness but doesn't like it too dry so they put some black currant in to sweeten it up. I got the beef casserole, which was delicious! It isn't really what I think of as a casserole though, it was like a stew with mashed potatoes hidden in it with carrots and mushroom sauce. Highly recommend!

Great staff and nice old building connected to a thatch roof extension , quite old, uneven floors. What I love about these old establishments. Wide selection of beers and cider, and excellent wine list. I had the grilled cod special with fresh vegetables and mashed taters and it was quite tasty. Excellent presentation and great flavor. The menu was tilted to seafood so started with s seafood chowder, others had oysters and or mussels which are prevalent here. Was with a large group again so was impressed with the service and large area we had to eat and the service never let up ensuring we had plenty to drink, fresh selection of breads, again, good wine. Desserts were also well presented including pudding, apple crisp, chocolate pie, and a nice pear tart or ice cream. Loving this are and one more night of food and drinks so highly recommend Gallagher's if you're looking for seafood, and a step up in fine dining experience.

When we walked in we were greeted by customers sitting at the bar, so friendly it put us right at ease. The dining area was clean, comfortable and cozy.... very welcoming I thought. I had a vegetarian pasta dish, and was even able to have iced tea. Talk about keeping the customer happy! For the record, nobody else has served me iced tea in Ireland..... I guess it's just not done here? If you're in the area the drop by and grab a bite to eat, maybe have a drink or two and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.
