Enjoyed Mother's Day. Nice touch the complimentary 'bubbles' for mums. All our meals were delicious, but wow, more than I could eat! The Irish music was fun. A most enjoyable day. Great atmosphere.
The property advertises free WiFi, but there was no usable internet at all. I booked specifically expecting to be able to work, which was impossible. The building is very old, there are almost no accessible power outlets unless you unplug appliances, and sound insulation is extremely poor — noise from neighbouring rooms is clearly audible. The listing does not reflect the actual condition or amenities provided.
Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the D'Arcy Arms multiple times while staying in the area. Friendly service at every visit, the meal we had there was generous and delicious, and the Sunday live music was great. A real cosy little pub with character and an authentic sense of familiarity and friendliness between locals and the bar staff. If you're after a fancy pub for Insta photos, this is not it, but if you're after the most delicious Guinness and a bag of Taytos, this is the place to be.
Great place for a beer, friendly staff/service. The meal was unfortunately well below average. The steak was overcooked (i ordered a medium) and hard to swallow. If that's the best you can do for Thursday night steak night then you are probably better off giving it a miss and providing a better cut of meat. The fries were very good :)
Stay here on a longer layover. Managed to time it for a Wednesday special of a $20 parmi and gee it went alright. Bed was comfy and close to the transport lines to get too and from the airport very easy. Not too far from the beach and other popular surfers areas. Bar was great and staff were helpful. Wifi is a tad dusty but it works in the bar. Would come back
