Brendan's - Down

Pasta, Meat, Wine

Whiskey Mick's, with its upcoming new management, revamped drink selection, and lively atmosphere, is a must-visit spot in Downpatrick. The cozy size of the venue makes it perfect for group gatherings, while the bar adds a fun element to the experience. The food receives mixed reviews, with some patrons praising the delicious flavors and generous portions, while others found aspects lacking, such as the lack of Turkey and Ham in a dish. Overall, with its friendly service, reasonable prices, and nostalgic charm reminiscent of old Glasgow pubs, Whiskey Mick's is a fantastic place to enjoy a meal and drinks with friends and family.

Was Siobhan Cassley at Brendan's a mag?
Called in on a Sunday for a bite of lunch and ended up having Sunday dinner. The food was good and the reason for the 4 stars is only because the food could have been warmer. Saying that my dessert of hot chocolate fudge cake was lovely. Would visit again,. View all feedback.

What Paul Smyth dislikes about Brendan's:
The restaurant is the perfect size for groups of friends or small gatherings, such as college classes or small clubs, to enjoy a meal together. Additionally, it has a bar available. View all feedback.

My wife and I had a takeaway on Sunday. Turkey and Ham Dinner and a Beef dinner both smothered in a pepper sauce. My wife had the beef and loved it. However, the sauce disguised the lack of Turkey and Ham on mine. Very filling all the same, but I still was disappointed.

Delightful surprise. We went here because we had a voucher (and also because they still had an a la carte menu , not just the Christmas menu). From the outside it reminded me of the pubs in the east end of Glasgow 20 years ago (and on the inside too; everyone huddled at the bar, topping-off their own half-settled Guinness if the owner was too busy). The owner came over to serve us and was very chatty and friendly and good with the kids. Then the food; Great. I'm a bit fussy because I eat out a lot when travelling around for work but the food here was just the ticket. Best chicken stack I've ever had (huge tobacco onions) and the helping for my wife's scampi was huge (also delicious) The kids ate all of theirs too. It was incredible to see not so many people here, they really are missing out. If you want good pub grub and friendly service then come here.

I had a burger and it was almost warm. My husbands fry wasn't very warm and quite greasy. Very disappointing.

Table sticky with grime. Smells of cigarette. The toilets not very clean. Otherwise the burger and chips were delicious
