Art Bar Funkel in Newry and Mourne

Loved it food was amazing as always

Steak sandwich down as specials asked for medium steak came out still mooing sent it back to be cooked and came out very similar. If you’re thinking of going here don’t

Had a lovely meal fish cakes lovely beer 🍺 😋 and the staff were very friendly and helpful be back again

Nice enough food without being spectacular.

Food was amazing I can't complement it enough.

Great food, reasonable prices and fast service. The staff were polite and friendly too. Definitely worth a visit. After visiting here again recently my review hasn't changed. We had the trio of bruschetta, prawn pil pil, beef brisket and haddock gougons. We couldn't fault the food at all, everything was very tasty and well presented, service was excellent too. The only slight problem was that our booking hadn't been written down however we only had to wait a few minutes before a table became available. On every visit here I have never been let down by the food or service however I do find the restaurant quite loud and noisy due to the small floorspace and how busy it is at weekends. It's a restaurant that's crying out for more space and tables but don't let that put you off, it's well worth a visit and it's not expensive.

This spot served me a chicken stir fry special which was not tasty. I could have made better myself. Overpriced and not worth the money. Staff were friendly and welcoming pity the food was so bad!

I had braised brisket of beef with champ and crispy onions. It was absolutely delicious. Very friendly and attentive staff and nice bright table.

Really loved this restaurant and went twice in the week we had in Newry. It's not a cheap diner but neither is it very expensive. The food is delicious and the service warm and friendly.

I haven’t visited for while and was delighted that everything was still excellent. The atmosphere was lovely and the service and food was outstanding, We were all happy with all our dishes and the attentiveness of the staff. Highly recommended. Hope to visit again soon.

I went here yesterday to finish off a lovely weekend away with my partner. We ordered our food all my partners food got served I was still waiting ask three times regarding my order my partner as this point was embedded as I still hadn't received my dish . So ended up cancelling my dish and leaving as I didn't come in to watch my partner eat. Very upsetting and staff didn't even want to fix this issue they could of gave a complementary drink or starter to but nothing. Very disappointing will never go here again.

Food plentiful and very tasty. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Really lovely food at very reasonably prices. Spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly and very helpful. I would definitely visit here again if I’m ever in Newry.

Delicious and reasonably priced food. Warm friendly service. Spotlessly clean toilets. Relaxing atmosphere. The homemade Honeymoon Cheesecake was probably the nicest dessert I ever had. A gem in Newry.

One of our favourite places to eat can't recommend enough staff are great and very friendly 😀

Tapas type food good service nice beer good menu .

The perfect spot for festive lunch, beautiful food and welcoming service. Never disappointed

Ordered a Texan burger and wife had a chicken wrap. Burger was missing menu listed items and was a little bland/unseasoned, although my wife's chicken wrap was very nice and she enjoyed it. Nice place to try, we just stopped off by chance while passing through Newry. Oh, fyi their "Funky Potatoes" are anything but, just fried potato cubes, not sure why that is menu'd as novel. A bit of garlic but on them would likely elevate the status.

Enjoyed my fish and chips. Wife enjoyed braised beef dish.

A regular, favourite spot in Newry. Food is fantastic, excellent staff and a great atmosphere. Also recommend for takeaway if you're having guests / date and want something a bit fancier!

Got the wings, nachos and fish and chips. All were lovely would recommend. The nachos especially were very nice and fresh in comparison to others you may find.

Delicious food and great value for money. Have already booked to go back again soon.

Top class. Great food and drink served professionally but with a nice informality. Recommended even for Paul Simon fans.

The food was outstanding, with everything very tasty and done to perfection. It feels very cosy and the staff couldn't be more pleasant. It did seem slightly expensive but not enough to take away a star.

Great atmosphere, brilliant staff and amazing food

I was here yesterday with a friend the portions have got smaller and prices have gone up when I complain to staff they agreed with me and told me that the owner told chef to keep portion small. Its absolutely ridiculous and bad move by the owner I won't be back !!!

Found this hidden gem while out shopping , food was beautiful , seafood chowder was delicious , then we had crispy prawns , fish gougons with pea puree & crispy duck with hoison sauce & pancakes , it was all beautiful , service was great with all dishes explained before hand , really calm & chilled atmosphere , will definitely be back , highly recommended 👏

Fabulous birthday lunch. Food and staff were 1st class

Food and staff amazing. We ate 2 nights here as was so good while we stayed in Newry. Highly recommend. Pasta one night and duck next evening. Prices are very reasonable too

This is a great place for small plates and drinks!

Food was really tasty and good quality, we found great option to be low carb and vegeterian

Lovely place and welcoming staff. The food is just phenomenal, especially the goats cheese salad! would definitely recommend! 😁

Excellent food and excellent service. We had the large portion of brisket (absolutely delicious and our favorite), the small portion of ribs (good but not great (I thought the sauce was just okay. Though in all fairness my friend liked these second best.), the small portion of duck (delicious. My second favorite) , and the sweet potato fries. We finished off the meal with a Sticky Toffee Pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream (WOW !!!). The server said they recommend two small items per person. We had one large, two small and a side. It was actually too much. I would recommend three smalls or one large and one small for two people. I would highly recommend eating at Art Bar Funkel.

Excellent food! Parking close by can be difficult!

We had dinner here tonight and the food was genuinely fantastic. No idea why we have never been before now but we'll definitely be back very soon. Service was great. Can't recommend highly enough.

I have visited Art Bar Funkel multiple times, and each visit reaffirms why it’s my favourite spot. The staff’s friendliness and impeccable service make dining here a joy. They go above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience every time. If you are looking for a restaurant that consistently delivers delicious food that will leave you craving more, this is the place to go. I highly recommend.

Great food and great hospitality

We Had lovely pulled pork baps n cubed fries and another noodle dish we all thought food was scrummy and quick service well worth a visit

Took our twin girls for their 5th birthday last Saturday and they haven't stopped mentioning Art Bar Funkel since and next time we go, you'll need to order more funky spuds!!

Fantastic dining experience! Staff was wonderful & helpful and didnt laugh at us Americans trying to figure things out. Food is top notch and worth every cent. We wish we had time to go back. The duck and the goat cheese salad superb. As well as the surf & turf and brisket. Yum

Really enjoyed visit and local food. Fairly pricey though

Newry's first tapas restaurant. Haven't changed the menu for a while and they probably won't need to. Worth a visit

This was a great place. Huge selection of food and drinks. I ate the vegetarian Thai green curry and the patatas bravas. Delicious.

Great spot, service was excellent, staff were incredibly nice and the food/wine was amazing 👏 sticky toffee pudding was out of this 🌎

Good food, have to go for wings or ribs . And they do krombacher in draft

Great little spot in newry. Plenty of choice on the lunch menu. I had the pork belly stir fry and it was cooked to perfection

Absoluty loved the food. And the waiters were so nice and quick.

Great grub and great friendly staff

Great staff great food highly recommend

I don't normally go back to the same place over and over as I like to try new places as much as possible, but myself and my better half have been here three times and have enjoyed it everytime. The service has always been top notch, friendly staff, Aoife, the last person to serve us was fantastic and should be praised for being so great. Food wise it is great to be able to try different dishes and still feel full for a good price. We paid £72 for four dishes, two desserts and a bottle of wine. So far my favourite dishes in no particular order are (any desserts 😋) Calamari Brisket Prawns Meatballs The bruschetta platters are also amazing Go try this place, it is fantastic. Only small niggles were, (on a really busy night so understandable) even with the sauce we had on the ribs last time they were a bit bland. Would love more choices of sauces for the wings? Satay chicken was nice, but slightly dry.

Really enjoyed the food and such a great service from the staff

Very interesting, contemporary menu and good quality food served here. The beef brisket in red wine jus was exceptional. Staff were very friendly also. However, 2 members of my group waited 30-45 minutes to be served their dishes and, by the time that they were, everybody else had finished their meals. This definitely dampened the general mood of our visit but would consider returning here in the future in order to explore more of this exciting menu

Food was fabulous staff were very helpful and friendly wort a visit

Accommodated myself and the other half at late-lunch time with no booking, served excelent food at a fair price from friendly staff - we couldn't stop talking about how good the lam shank was all day or the next! I'm gonna bring friends here next time I'm in Newry - love the punny name by the way 😁

Great find. Lovely food and really nice staff. Good value too.

Always a favourite with our family but actually hadn't been in since covid but it hasn't changed a bit and didn't disappoint. Food still as good as ever, lovely staff and lovely buzzing atmosphere

Food is cold small portions Never back and expensive

Food was absolutely gorgeous, staff were lovely, but there timings were a bit of, order 3 starter sharing dishes, and last 1 satay chicken was the last thing 2 the table, took this long to cook, I think not, but still it was lovely,

Love this place. Great for sharing with plenty to choose from.

Excellent brisket, prawns, and chicken satay. Coffee and craft beer also available but didn't try this time around.

Great food , lovely friendly staff.

A kip. Food was reheated and of a very poor standard. Lies I am not telling as I visited once and never again. It is unfortunate I have to edit my review as I've been called a liar by the owner. Make good food you get a positive review, make bad food you get a negative review. Simples. They make bad food.

Nice interior design with good selection of meals as small/large plates. One of our 6 meals arrived when the others had all finished which cost 1 star.

Nice food, nice place and great service 👍

Everything about this Restaurant is superb.. ..food is magnificent, atmosphere etc the staff are simply wonderful.. nothing is a problem...my favourite restaurant by a country mile

Very small portions for the price of the food Not worth it in my opinion and the ribs weren’t freshly cooked

Lovely place ,staff excellent, food beautiful

Lovely menu, friendly staff and gorgeous food. One of my favourite places to eat

I absolutely love this restaurant, such a varied menu and different to stuff you get anywhere else. Service is excellent, and fast too. I even bought a bottle of their in-house sauce. I could go back every day in the week and order something different, I can't wait to return. Lunch menu is a little bit different to what I could find online so I've attached it

As an S&G fan for longer than I care to remember, I couldn't resist. What I got was tasty and the place itself looks inviting. Worth the visit.

Amazing service and tapas class x

Staff very nice . Food was excellent. Thanks.

beautiful and I love the food the chips for goujons would go back next week

Very cool place and amazing food

Class food. Lovely staff.Definitely be back.

Fantastic place with fantastic people. The food we had was cooked to perfection. Thanks for a really lovely meal. I would highly recommend!!!!

Delicious food, fantastic hosting and great vibes - an absolutely amazing, central spot for a Friday night with friends or a partner!

Great quality food, you have to pick your dishes carefully because you can come up with some random combinations.

Highly recommend , great atmosphere, great staff, great food , very friendly and homely kind of place , will definitely be back when in the area .

Fantastic find for fresh food with great range of choice. Sat down and waiter came over and explained the menu so we had a good idea of the tapas style portions, read specials of which I and anted all of them and got us a beer quickly. Had prawns, tasted great, wings, really nice crispy and well cooked. Potatoes bravas and beef brisket. The four portions were perfect for two of us and left very happy. Everything came out bit by bit, and normally this would piss me off, but it was perfect, we both picked at what was there and the rest kept arriving hot and was all really tasty. Place was getting busy as we left, and service looked to be getting stretched as it was early for a rush. Our service and all round experience was fantastic. Great way to spend under £40 and come out with a smiles on ours faces.

Great food and generous helpings with friendly staff!

Very good lunch. Friendly staff.

Thank you for a lovely evening, , great food, great service and lovely atmosphere.

Top class tapa style servings of Irish food

Fabulous food and great service. Very popular so booking is a must.

Good food, nice atmosphere with helpful and friendly staff

Great service 👏great food 👌 great value 😁

Best restaurant and food in South County dowm . By a long shot.. 5 star Lovely, friendly staff 🌟🌟🌟😊👍

Nice food, good service. Floor manager - unlike waitress - wasn’t wearing a mask and he was interacting with every customer - including some who were also wearing no mask. I found that very off putting and risky. It also sends out a poor message regarding taking Covid precautions seriously.

Fabulous place 👌 highly recommend

Have been here on numerous occasions with work & friends & always enjoyed it. Booked this evening for family with small kids. We were half hour late & place was packed. Staff were extremely accommodating & food was delicious as always. Thank you to all staff, you excelled yourselves this evening ❤

Great feed in here last Saturday. Friendly staff and great food. Also stood by a voucher I had before all the covid lock downs. Good to see the place busy and I’ll be back soon 👍🏻

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Reasonably priced; friendly staff; highly recommend.

Staff where so friendly and helpful The place was spotless and very well set out food was great definitely will visit again when up that way again .

A long awaited return to this fine restaurant never let's you down super good food

Tasty food, lovely staff and great vibe. Would highly recommend 👌

Very good food and friendly staff.

Great lunch menu, friendly staff and professional anti Covid measures in place.

Ribs, pil pil prawns, chicken wrap and the Mexican burger special, all so tasty I forgot to take a photo.

Lovely meal...great service....will be back.
