Not for dog owners
On the 13th Aug I arrived to Dromineer on my boat, first time visiting this marina after coming from Banagher Harbour, Castle Harbour and Terryglass where we had a great time. We decided to go for something to eat and found The Whiskey Still, it’s really the only pub in the area so you do not have a lot of options, and they know it. We found a table outside and were about to occupy it, but we were abruptly told by the manager/owner that we could not sit there with “that” dog. She pointed to a place in the garden for us to go, like the bold step for children. In the garden there was a bench near a tree with no seats, there was a bench table (one) in the middle of the large garden with a couple and their dog, they were eating dinner. We sat at the bench near the tree, and I went into the bar and bought drinks. I asked for menus, and I was told that we could not eat at the tree and that we would have to wait for the garden bench to become free or when that couple stopped eating as that is the only place you can eat, if you have a dog. Of course, I could not believe what I was hearing after the experience of hospitality we received in the other places we visited before The Whiskey Still.

The couple finished eating and kindly gave up the table so we could order food. They moved to our bench to finish their drinks; they were also annoyed with the experience. Now let’s compare that with the experience in Banagher. We called into Houghs Pub on the Friday afternoon asked if we could have the Dog with us. They brought us into the beer garden, served us a drink and gave our dog water. We asked could we come back later that evening and they said it might be a bit noisy with music, but we and the dog were welcome. We went to Flynn’s for food, and we were offered a seat out the back in the outdoor space, again very welcoming. We travelled to Terryglass, and in Paddy’s Bar and The Derg there were dogs sitting with their owners eating and drinking outside, no issue. The Modena restaurant in Portumna and Curleys bar welcomed us as well.

The manager/owner of the Whiskey Still may not be a dog lover, she may even be afraid of dogs which is fair. However, you can say something without being nasty and still get the message across. In my experience there are lots of boaters and campers that bring their pets with them while on holidays. I do find it hard to understand how a sessional business in the hospitality sector like the Whiskey Still, that relies on customer trade from visiting boaters/campers and others, can be so inhospitable towards dog owners. Maybe she does not care if we do not come back, maybe they do not want the custom from dog owners visiting but I am sure other businesses in Dromineer would be concerned if they never came back because of this ridiculous attitude.

Let me clarify something, the food was very nice. The girls that served us where genuinely nice albeit somewhat embarrassed and apologetic. I gave them a tip because they did nothing wrong, but I ensured that management did not obtain a share of it. Dromineer needs to look at how they can remain competitive in attracting visitors because I have no intention of going back.

Brought two of my friends who were visiting from Dublin here on Sunday and the food was fantastic. All got different meals and each were very nice. Chowder was class too. Staff looked after us the minute we arrived and throughout. Very polite young girl with glasses could not have been nicer. Made sure the child with us was looked after too. Great experience. Always good to go here.

My husband and I dined here along with our two year old son. My husband is a celiac and usually has no issue with menus as most places cater very well for people with allergies. Not true for this place unfortunately. Firstly, even though everything on the menu had numbers alongside them, there was no key as to what the numbers meant. He asked and was told that 1 meant gluten. Every single thing on the menu except one a salad had a 1 beside it. Not even the chips were gluten free. The only thing he could have was the special (stripped almost bare to avoid gluten, yet still charged over €20 for it)
What I had was fine, no issues. But in this day and age when most places have all sauces/gravy GF and wheat free options for burgers etc it seemed a little like a poor effort. There was very little attempt made to accommodate him. It’s the only place to eat in Dromineer and it could be a lot better.

The food is not Haute Cuisine, but after a day on the lake the fish and chips are just what i want, served nicely. They serve a good pint of Guinness which is an ideal partner to the fish and chips. On the evening we were there, some of our friends had to eat in the smoking tent which was cold and draughty.
the place can generate a great atmosphere when there is a crowd there- and they do increase staff numbers when they expect a crowd.
There is hardly any view of the lake from here.

We visit here on a regular basis. The food is so tasty. The Whiskey Still is well known for the food and good service in the area. Joe the chef, his wife Rita and their manager Colin run a really good show. The staff are always so friendly and efficient. Last time I had the smoked salmon and prawn starter, my husband had the garlic mushrooms, he had a steak for main course and I had fish and chips. The food was just amazing and always is, we were hungry and we enjoyed every morsel. We love the food, it’s just so good. We have never been disappointed. In fact I’d question anybody who would give a negative review of this place. The place could do with a bit of an upgrading, both toilets in particular and it may be time to change the place mats, some of them are in a bit of a state but otherwise things are just perfect!

The food was all good. It’s nothing amazing, but good, hearty food. Our server was friendly. That being said, we were trying to order when our 1-year-old started crying. A lady from behind the bar came over and told us we could take him outside if we needed to and we thanked her and said ok. Then I continued to order while my wife directed one of our other children to take our baby outside. Before our child could stand up, the same lady behind the bar rushed over, opened the door, and told us to take our baby outside before we had the time to get out the door. It was quite rude. This set the tone for our entire meal. I don’t think I’ve ever rated a restaurant this low for service, and I’ve rated a lot of restaurants.

If you have young children, they aren’t very welcomed here. If it’s all adults, this place isn’t bad. It’s a cozy pub inside.
