Tasty food
During my week in Ireland, The Harbour Bar in Rush was almost my daily restaurant and served as my remote office multiple times - and it was perfect for both. Super friendly people. Really delicious food. Beer and wine just the way I like them, and just across the street, you're right by the sea. So if you ever find yourself in Rush, you absolutely have to stop by. You're going to love it!
We arrived at the Harbour after a beautiful walk from a near by village.
There are 2 areas: bar & lounge.
We went into the lounge as we wanted food.
The longue has 2 sub-areas, one of which has a nice fireplace (not sure if real but still, nice).
We couldn't sit close to that but went instead into the second area. Unfortunately that was in line with the main door and so we could smell the cigarettes of other customers who use the area right outside of the door to smoke.
The room was also on the cold side, which was not nice after having spent a winter day outdoor.
I loved instead the collections of whiskey decorating the walls.
The 2 starters we tried were quite tasty and one of the sauces was delicious.
After reading many enthusiastic reviews I ordered fish & chips for main.
While I could see how it was fresh fish, I found it extremely tasteless. Even adding plenty of salt and lemon the fish tasted of nothing. The tartar sauce was not of my liking. Luckily I have saved a sauce from one of the starters.
The chips were also lacking salt. Adding it later just doesn't work.
The mushy peas were salt-less.
I am told the other main was instead tasty, so probably it was just an unfortunate choice I made.
Service was nice but we felt a bit too eager to remove the plates from our table.
Went with a couple of friends last weekend so we ordered a lot of different foods to try. Not sure if they just had a bad batch for us (judging from other reviews) but food was mostly disappointing. Pasta with prawns was cooked very sour, (vinegary not lemony) same for the wings, chowder was super salty, the steak meat was tough, the chicken strips and mushrooms were the only good foods. Also I get people come here for alcohol but it's strange they can't come up with a single mocktail, not even on request? Idk. A bit disorganised. We came with a reservation and they had to ask 4 different people before they figured anything out. It was also very hard to get the servers' attention when we were trying to get the bill (and we weren't the only ones with this issue) and even when we finally managed to, the server didn't even react to let us know he'll be over in a second he just kept going on his way. Surely the common sense is to give a smile or nod or anything really...
Anyways the atmosphere was good but just because the locals were lively and the interior looks design looks neat. That's about it.
