What User likes about Breen's Lobster:
It was a cold evening on entering the lobster Bar, was starving! I had the most delicious fish pie, it was to die for!!!! outta So tasty it was, again never any complaints with the food ever, obviously chefs secrets. What I love is that their dishes are always so succulent and flavoured and never bland. What more could I ask for, a seat near the fireplace with a lovely hot meal served up. View all feedback. What Anne Boisset doesn't like about Breen's Lobster:
We were taken for tourists... what we were, and there were only locals on December 1st... but I was served with the cod wanting to make me believe it was the haddock that I ordered... it was really bof. View all feedback.

Breen's Lobster Bar offers a mixed dining experience. One reviewer was disappointed by the lack of lobster and the questionable receipt, while another loved the flavorful fishcake and cozy atmosphere. Some found the service lacking, with issues like rudeness and cash-only policies. However, others praised the delicious handmade dishes and vintage decor, feeling like they were transported to a nostalgic era. Overall, the food was a highlight, with standout dishes like chowder, prawns, and lemon meringue. Despite some inconsistencies, Breen's remains a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.
