★ 3.4 / 5 (1776 reviews)

Despite its prime location, the restaurant fails to impress. With limited menu options and rude staff, diners are left disappointed. The atmosphere lacks social distancing enforcement, cleanliness, and responsible service, leaving much to be desired. While the pub may have potential to improve, for now it might only suffice for a quick meal if you're not up for cooking. On the upside, the bar does offer great views of Ballinskelligs Bay and quick service. For a more pleasant experience dining out, it might be best to explore other options in the area.

What Michele h dislikes about Cable O'leary's:

This is a bar only, no food, although you can get pizzas etc across the road and bring them in. Choice of beer on tap is very limited. The main reason to visit is to sit outside on a sunny day and enjoy the view. (Traducido por Google) Este es solo un bar, no hay comida, aunque puedes conseguir pizzas, etc. al otro lado de la calle y traerlas. La variedad de cervezas de barril es muy limitada. La razón principal para visitar es sentarse afuera en un día soleado y disfrutar de la vista.

Arrived on wednesday afternoon. All advertising says there is food… there is no food available here. And bartender was very rude. Avoid. Much better places to go to around here.
