Nelligan's Bar Restaurant - Limerick

This is a great Irish pub at Kilmurry Lodge Hotel. Surprisingly, it had great food and good options for vegetarians and vegans. The drinks were fantastic and the atmosphere was also good. Definitely a hidden gem.

Satisfactory lunch, could be a tad better quality and presentation wise, (the carvary that said its ok, but not cheap! The blonde and I had the beef, good but a tad overcooked and dry, (i know tastes differ here! But I 'm sure I 'm being fair here. The desserts need work thought, opt for home made, rather than bought in type ones. Efficient quick service as well.

First time visiting Nelligans in the Kilmury lodge. My partner and I joined his parents for dinner because they were staying in the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to see a vegan section on their menu. The meal was pleasant but extremely over priced for what I actually got.... I ordered the vegan salad to start (mixed leaves, a few cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds €9) and a 'vegan bruschetta ' as a main (two small slices of sourdough with pesto, topped with cherry tomatoes, chopped peppers olives. These dishes should have been priced as starters at most and not mains. I only took one star away because everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals (cabbage and bacon, prawn tagliatelle and sea bass). The staff were so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was really nice.

The food is really nice but the service was shocking. I was seated in the snug which is perfect the waitress took my drink order and was gone for nearly 5 minutes before she came back with the drink and took my food order. A different waiter brought the food to me (wings and chips) the food is really good but the wings are very hot. Waiter/waitress never came back to ask if everything was fine or if I needed another drink or even to ask about desert. Got up and paid and got another drink I was away from the table for 3 minutes maximum and it was cleared and given to someone else.

Food is gorgeous but service is bad. We were going to order desert and a cocktail but were waiting over 30 minutes for someone to come and clear the plates. Tried to flag staff but it’s like they have blinkers on, swore we were invisible.
