I have always had great meals at The Forge and today was no different. I tried their tortellini and it was actually some of the best tortellini I’ve ever had! Staff are friendly and the environment is lovely.

G. L.

Lovely interior. The staff were friendly. The meal cost us 41 euro which I included 2main meals, 1 cup of coffee, 1 pint of beer and 1 slice of cheesecake. All of it was very tasty bit the meal was very small.

M. G.

Really enjoyed our recent family gathering here. Plenty of parking around. The atmosphere/background music for small family gathering was perfect, not too loud not too low. The staff were very friendly and efficiency with the table service. The food was delicious. There was hand sanitizer everywhere and the place appeared clean throughout. I would definitely book there again for a small occasion. I dropped a star just because it was quiet cold upstairs in the function room, but, perhaps I could have chosen something warmer to wear and more suitable for the time of the year.

Had a great seafood chowder here, nice place and reasonable prices.

M. G.

A superb dining experience. Having used the customary hand cleansing station at the entrance, my wife and I were were ushered by friendly, helpful staff to a suitable table. The venue was clean, light and spacious with plenty of room between tables. The seats were the most comfortable we have ever sat on, in any restaurant - ever. We joked we wanted to add a couple of their chairs to our order. I had the beef, with roast vegetables. My wife chose the rack of lamb. Both meals were utterly delightful. Cooked beautifully, the meat was tender and the accompaniments similarly delicious. The bill, including cranberry juice drinks, came to only 45 Euros. Wonderful value for such an excellent meal. I heartily recommend this venue.

P. B.

Probably the best Fish and Chips west of the Shannon. Absolutely delicious. Perfect Chicken wings, Goat cheese salad was perfect. Delicious coffee and a good Guinness. All combined with friendly professional staff. Three well happy diners!

P. B.

What a pleasant experience. We stopped here on the way to Clifden. As we were already booked into the hotel for dinner we had a snack & as my companion had no Covid certificate (83 yrs & lost) we ate outside. He ate potato & leek soup, I had a smoked salmon open sandwich on brown homemade bread which was so generous & delicious. We were served by the loveliest Bulgarian girl who made us really welcome. She smiled continuously! On our way back from Clifden we also stopped in to eat fresh fish & chips & a pickled fennell salad. Do try The Forge - you won't be disappointed.

R. L.

Lovely pub with great food, both bar menu and carvery. Good choice of beers on tap and wine selection. Decor half good, weird multi colored chairs and pale tables don't match copper/petrol Blue style which is luscious. Staff incredibly friendly, great manager overseeing everything. Would recommend to stop here or make a detour to visit this great little spot.

One of the best Irish breakfasts I've had so far. Very high quality ingredients, perfectly prepared. Fast and professional service with a spontaneous smile. Clean, elegant and comfortable venue. Sure I will come back next time I am in Moycullen!

Tasty welcoming meal after a long day’s driving up through the Connemara hills heading back to Galway. Plenty of menu options to choose from. Decent value prices too and our 5 year old had enough crayons and colouring in provided to keep him busy until the food arrived.

Used the takeaway Sunday Lunch option here Excellent service ,beautiful food.Called in to place order staff very friendly and efficient All customer safety protocols very evidently in place

A. J.

Was told when I rang to reserve a table that they dont do reservations, but when we arrived you could see some tables had been marked "reserved" ???. Was not at all impressed with the food,very mediocre. The chowder was watery and on cool side. I ordered beef only for guy to come back then minutes later to say beef was no longer available, I then ordered chicken but what was presented to me was very very disappointing. I won't return here.

A. C.

Great food, super service 👌👌

(Translated) On the way to Conamara well located, nice, family friendly restaurant. In the back there is a "separee" for parents with children. Colorful chairs, plenty of space and a privacy screen separate the area from the rest. Children are greeted with their own menu, which includes games and a Ausmalanteil. The pins are there. Vegetarian, fish and meat dishes, salads as well as traditional pie's are available. The service was fast and friendly. Plus: nearby there is a large, free parking. Recommended. (Original) Auf dem Weg nach Conamara gut gelegenes, nettes, familienfreundliches Restaurant. Im hinteren Bereich befindet sich ein "Separee" für Eltern mit Kindern. Bunte Stühle, viel Platz und ein Sichtschutz trennen den Bereich vom großen Rest. Kinder bekommen zur Begrüßung eine eigene Speisekarte, die Spiele und ein Ausmalanteil enthalten. Die Stifte gibt es dazu. Vegetarisch, Fisch- und Fleischgerichte, Salate als auch traditionelle Pie's sind verfügbar. Die Bedienung war schnell und freundlich. Pluspunkt: in der Nähe gibt es einen großen, kostenlosen Parkplatz. Empfehlenswert.

(Translated) The village is not especially a destination in itself but if you go through there and the belly crush famine then this is the address you need. Large and modern venues, large screens for sports broadcasts, fireplace. The map is well composed and the rates are reasonable. The service is friendly. A small car park is in a courtyard nearby. (Original) Le village n'est pas spécialement une destination en soi mais si on passe par là et que le ventre cri famine alors c'est l'adresse qu'il faut. Lieux vastes et modernes, grands écrans pour les retransmissions sportives, cheminée. La carte est bien composée et les tarifs sont raisonnables. Le service est sympathique. Un petit parking est dans une cour à proximité.

(Translated) Stopover on the way back, very busy place, moderate prices, decent food. Friendly staff. It is a rather large room so if full it is a bit chaotic and noisy. (Original) Sosta di passaggio su via del ritorno, locale molto frequentato, prezzi modici cibo discreto. Personale cortese. E' un locale piuttosto grande quindi se pieno risulta un po caotico e rumoroso.

(Translated) Hearty meal servers nice. A little noisy. We ate there twice, the second time the service was long (a very large table was there for a birthday). but a very good meal. Light flat to my taste the minced not pure beef in the burger. Smoked salmon in excellent and hearty (Original) Repas copieux serveurs agréable. Un peu bruyant. On y a mangé 2 fois, la seconde fois le service fut long (une tres grande table etait la pour un anniversaire). mais un tres bon repas. Léger bemol a mon gout le haché pas pur bœuf dans le burger. Le saumon fumé en entré excellent et copieux

(Translated) Not bad. Good place to eat, with variety. Quiet and if you come from Connemara on this road ... it is the last available site before reaching the city of Galway. (Original) No está mal.
