Mac Carthy's - Glengarriff

Wonderful food and great service as well. Good selection of beers on tap, some of them being local Irish craft brews. I had the slow roasted lamb with pea and mint dressing. My wife had the roast beef. Both were simple, but still very tasty. I like that they let you salt the food so it doesn't come out too salty. Second time I had the burger, but being American I have high burger standards and this one just fell a little short.

Standard diner menu. Good price and quality relationship.

I visited a well-managed bar with plenty of staff on hand. It wasn't crowded, which created a nice atmosphere. Patrons were enjoying cocktails and pints, while I decided to try ice cream for the first time. It was decent, though I wouldn’t consider it a meal since I arrived later in the evening. Overall, a pleasant experience at My Art Pub.

Disorganized. We arrived with three hungry kids and had to wait 20 minutes for a table. The order was taken, and our drinks were delivered promptly by a friendly and efficient waitress. However, about 20 minutes later, the woman who seemed to be in charge came over to apologize for the delay and mentioned that there were a few orders backed up in the kitchen. Another 20 minutes passed, and I asked the same lady if, at the very least, the kids' meals could be served. A few minutes later, a young waitress approached us to inform us that they had run out of the fish and chips we ordered for the kids 45 minutes earlier. We ended up paying for our drinks and leaving with three now-hungry and frustrated kids. It’s worth mentioning that the lady in charge didn’t seem to offer anything beyond a brief apology.

I found this bar to be well-managed, with plenty of staff on hand. It wasn't too crowded, which contributed to a pleasant atmosphere. I noticed people enjoying cocktails and pints, and I tried an iced coffee for the first time—it was decent. I didn't order any food since it was a late visit, but overall, it felt like my kind of pub.
