As you arrive at the Trump International Golf Resort you are warmly received by a finely dressed gentleman at the gate house. He called ahead and announced our arrival for lunch, gave us directions, instructed us where to park. The staff of the bar and restaurant were waiting for us, menus in hand. They were preparing for Halloween and there were lovely arrangements of pumpkins. We were seated at a corner table that had two windows on each side that allowed for a wonderful view of the ocean, beach and a part of the golf course. Started the lunch with drinks, the men had Guinness, and I had what I considered the best Bloody Mary made from fresh ingredients and not a mix. I chose the Salt and Chili calamari, which was on a salad/slaw which was tangy delicious. My husband had the shrimp tacos. Being from Texas we are usually very skeptical of any taco in another country, but this did not disappoint. I stole a few bites, as well as a few of the most perfect French fries which were crispy goodness. The staff were absolutely perfect, the ambiance was elevated Irish pub with a seaside twist. I am very glad we took the chance and drove the hour from the Shannon Airport area. After lunch we strolled the beautiful beach! We had the beach to ourselves which was extra special. From the beach as you look out at the water you can see the Cliffs of Moher. If you had all day, you could visit the cliffs and the Trump Bar Restaurant. Next time we visit, I would like to spend a night or two at the resort. But for a daytime visit you really cannot ask for anything more!

From the moment we arrived, Brian greeted us warmly and escorted us to our table with a breathtaking view. Our lovely waitress went above and beyond, making my daughter feel like a princess. They even sang happy birthday as they brought out her cake. As we were leaving, Brian checked in on us again and gave us some charming hotel mementos to take home. After tea, we enjoyed a stroll around the beautiful grounds and down by the beach. What a stunning location! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and can’t wait to come back. Thank you to the entire wonderful team – this place truly is something special, and we highly recommend a visit.

I ordered oat milk with my tea, which took over 15 minutes to arrive—I got the impression they had completely forgotten about it. We ordered two soups and a toasted sandwich, but when the waitress finally brought the oat milk, my partner asked for chips to go with his meal. About 10 minutes later, the chips arrived, but the soup and sandwich were still nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, a couple who arrived after us had already been served. When our food did arrive, it was clearly stale and unappetizing (see photo below). It was obvious the dishes had been sitting out for quite a while. The staff apologized when we spoke to them, but after driving an hour and a half for the booking, we were very disappointed and ended up losing our appetite completely. It was our first visit to the hotel, and we had been really looking forward to it. I’m not sure this bar/restaurant deserves a 5-star rating.

Though our golf game began a bit sluggishly, the warm hospitality and excellent service from the staff quickly lifted our spirits. Our server was attentive, efficient, and friendly, guiding us through a delectable menu. The seafood chowder and brown soda bread were exceptional, as were the sandwiches and salads. We enjoyed our visit so much that we returned for dinner, with everyone in our group agreeing that both the food and service were outstanding. The menu offered a great variety, and every dish was cooked to perfection. Overall, we were very impressed and are already looking forward to returning next year. 10/10.

The staff greeted us warmly, and the excellent service made our lunch truly enjoyable. Our server was attentive, efficient, and friendly, helping us navigate the menu with ease. We all savored a superb seafood chowder accompanied by delicious brown soda bread that surpassed our expectations. We also tried a variety of sandwiches and salads, each one tasty and satisfying. By the time we finished, we felt completely rejuvenated. So impressed, we changed our plans to skip dining in the village and returned for dinner instead. Everyone agreed the food and service were outstanding, offering something delightful for every palate, all expertly prepared. We’re already excited to visit again next year.
