Drogheda Restaurant Reviews

Was in Bru yesterday with a few family (Mother's day).

I love Bru. It's by far the best bar in town. Always good customers. Nice people with no malicious intent. I know some people aren't fond of it, but I can't figure out why. It's such a clean, professional looking environment.

Anyway, the restaurant I'd only ate in once before (and enjoyed it). There were 7 of us this time (8, if you include a one year old). Staff were excellent, and, despite being busy, they were quick to serve and constantly had staff wandering around making sure everyone was okay (but not in the over-bearing way that some restaurants do).

all 7 of us had a main course, 4 had a starter, 3 had dessert, there was plenty of drinking throughout (both alcohol and soft drinks), and the total came in at less than €190 (before tip). How could you fault that!?

Personally I ordered the (starter) Bru Spicy Chicken Wings, which are generally not really something I'd be into (though the starter menu is a bit too fancy for the likes of me anyway). That said, I did enjoy them. They're very well presented and quite tasty (if not a little messy, but that's the nature of the food, I suppose).

For the main I got their 8oz Rib Eye Steak and Chips w/ Pepper Sauce. I'm almost drooling thinking of it. It was gorgeous. I ate it all (I had to) but I shouldn't have. My stomache was killing me afterward (too much). The chips portion is a little on the small side in comparison to the amount of steak, but they were swift to throw extra chips on the table when they seen the others were gone.

Then I got their selection of Ice Cream as a dessert, which, again, was well presented and tasted very nice.


All of their food is very presentable looking, and all of the plates, knives, etc. are always very clean. I must go down there more often. It's fantastic value and the food really is great.

I feel like such a shill writing this, but they really do an excellent job, and they're very friendly.



Was in Genoa today, and although you're not expecting 5 star food, you'd think they'd clean the cups a bit better. Lots of stains. Food was grand though, I suppose. You kinda know what you're getting before you go in.

I'd imagine Genoa did very well today. Was fairly busy when I was in there anyway (4-5ish). Couldn't find anywhere else that was open. I know it's a bank holiday but you'd think one cafe would've stayed open late and reaped the rewards. Should've went to Bru. Haha.

Was going to stick up a review of bru as I was there at the weekend. Everything was great apart from the main which was the rib eye steak. Rib eye is my favorite cut of steak and I cant say I enjoyed the one in bru at all. I even questioned if it was rib eye but im not one to complain. The rest of the meal and the service was great so was happy enough. The spicky chicken wings are lovely as is the mango cheesecake. For 27 with the steak supplement its great value.

Really? I must say I'm surprised to hear that. Don't get me wrong now, I'm no steak connoisseur, but I thought that it was really, really nice.

I'm very surprised to hear your report. I'd have definitely said it to them if you weren't happy. Suppose they can't get it perfect all the time, obviously, but I certainly would've said it to them at the time.
