  This is a big venue, small pub to the front and then a large room at the back for food. I wasn't a fan of the big room, loads of... read more big high tables and no atmosphere even though the room was busy.
I had the spicy chicken wings and blue cheese sauce. The sauce was insipid and there was only about a tea spoon of the spicy sauce at the bottom of the bowl, which I only came across when nearly finished the wings. My mate had the short rib and wasn’t impressed either, not cooked long enough and kind of chewy. Disappointing really.
The pub at the front is nice for a few pints.

  Laurel’s is a vibrant, very enjoyable dining experience, with very good food and atmosphere. Waitress Laurie was accommodating and very helpful!

  My wife and I visited the the pub on easter Monday for lunch.
I ordered scampi in batter ,price €15 approx.
I was very disappointed in the meal that was... read more served up.as it was 95% batter 5% prawn, The prawns very very small, I guess about the size of the nail on my middle finger.
It was served with a small bit of lettuce covered in coleslaw.
I have ate here before and always enjoyed my visit, but this very, very disappointing.
My advice is if you do visit do not order the scampi.
To balance my report ,my wife got the the soup of the day, which she was very pleased with

  There are some very good things about the Laurels Pub. It's very comforting and welcoming. The people are wonderful. They dispense stout with nitrogen, the way you're supposed to.

My wife and I had wings, fish and chips, a stout, and whatever it was that she drank. The chips didn't seem frozen, which is unusual in Ireland. The fish was prepared well. The wings looked fine, but there was a smell we could not get past. Maybe the frying oil needs to be changed? They were also tough.

A real shame, because otherwise, we thought it was a great pub. But for the wings, I would recommend it highly.

  I was so looking forward to eating here but found the portions of food very small we were still hungry leaving unfortunately

  We visited The Laurels twice during our stay. Food is fairly good but not cheap. Service however is very poor. On our first visit the waitress forgot to put on... read more my wives order and was only when clearing me and my kids plates see realized this. We decided to book for another night as food is good. On our arrival she hadn’t placed our booking and the other waitress was quite rude when we wouldn’t except high stool table as our kids are quite young. Again the food was good but again our orders where mixed up. On both occasions with 2 different waitresses I felt they were more interested in a local bunch sitting around at a high table. Wouldn’t go back again due to poor service and really can see the “we don’t care attitude “ as there’ll be more new tourists next week.
