It was an amazing experience. A super limited menu, which shows everything is made fresh and knowing everything is produced, forged or locally sourced. The service was very fun and looked after, without being over bearing. The food was generous and so delicious! A must visit and I'm looking forward to returning!

We are a vegan and vegetarian and there are always options available. The mushroom risotto was a good portion and very tasty. We enjoyed the wine too and the service is friendly and attentive.

We had a cracking eve here last night 31/10/26: I gathered my Murphia around me (my two boys from Limerick + Cork and a very feisty woman from Dublin), and enjoyed a whole raft of dishes I never got to be before, very nicely prepared and presented by the sweet staff: we loved the potato scallops and INIS’ Chip Shop chips and curry sauce, my boy Pat loved his lamb, I seriously recommend the mackerel pate with apricot jam. I of course also Guinnessed myself out here, in drink and cake - with icing and custard poured all over… 👌 All this is in a slick and contemporary looking venue by the canal in a rather old school setting of Irish hospitality - sláinte!

Lovely Restaurant and Lounge Bar dining area, with working fireplace and rustic beams creating a good ambience, very popular too, so booking is recommended. A good menu covering all tastes plus seasonal "Specials" board. I had the "Fish n Chips", Battered Cod, Chunky Chips, Peas and Tartar Sauce, freshly cooked, piping hot, and absolutely Yummy! My wife had the Lasagne, very substantial, tasty, and "Homemade", all boxes ticked, followed by something from the Desserts menu, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream being a favourite, all served very attentively by the friendly team, many thanks!!

We started outside with excellent service & when the rain hit moved inside. The stacked pancakes for dessert were delayed for some reason so we asked for a takeaway box. When the bill came the waitress said they had taken the pancakes off as an apology for the delay & not having them on time, which was a lovely gesture and amazing customer service. We are locals & eat at Bills regularly and little gestures like that mean we will always be back! Thank you to the super waitress who served us on this occasion.
