Central Wine Bar in Allerdale

Called in for drinks on Saturday night, sign outside for live music but went in ordered drinks looked more like a sports bar with TV on every wall showing sports, asked the bartender about music who replied they don’t show up! No atmosphere, no service and definitely no welcome! Go to McDonalds, Boyds or the Harbour Bar much more welcoming for tourists.

We were a large group of 20 people and were delighted with our Friday evening meal and drinks in Nellie Rua's. The food and overall standards were excellent. Our group were particularly taken with the attention to detail and the high quality service from Stephen, Colm and the team. We were a bit sceptical about the preorder process Nelli Rua asked us to use but it worked very well and the way the staff used it and the individual names for bringing the meals made everyone feel special. Individualising payments for drinks and for food was also important and worked well. Thanks again to all the team in Nellie Rua's for a wonderful evening.

Not much has changed since it was taken over. Its not accessible if you have a disability. Food was just OK, pepper sauce was too thick and chicken over spiced. Service a little slow even though it wasnt busy but staff were very friendly and helpful. OK venue for pub grub but not sure I would rush back

Went in for a drink during day on the long weekend visiting from Cork the fair was on four of us lovely some music playing .Went back that night everything grand until a group of people sat next to us all ok asked us to take photo did that.After a while one of the women wit black dyed long hair came up next to us shaking her hair into our faces and shaking her fat ass as well into us rest of them found it all great laugh. I know for a fact a bouncer at door saw this and did nothing.They were involed in a fight at bar nothing done say they are regulars as I said lovely bar but some clientele allowed get away with murder.

my husband and i called in here on Sunday for lunch. I ordered bang bang chicken and he ordered a chicken fillet burger both with fries. A very basic order I would have thought. Chicken fillet burger was a large breast of chicken done in batter sitting on the plate beside the bap. bang bang chicken was a breast of chicken sitting on the plate and a small sauce on the side. This might have been ok but neither of the chicken fillets were cooked they were both pink on the inside. Neither in all my life have had such bad food. wrapped the chicken up put it in my handbag and took it home to my dogs. Dont know who owns this place now but you seriously need to have a look at your chef. this rubbish cost us £39.10 one thing i do know would not recommend you and we will never be back.

A nice spot for a drink in a relaxed atmosphere with a great range of drinks.. food available though we were just there for drinks...

Worst food in Ballycastle. Fish and chips: Panade like from a deep frozen spring roll, chips not done. Burger: burned buns, no spices, no adding. Disgusting. No need to come back here, cause there are plenty of pubs with excellent food. Attracts tourist because of its central location opposite the fantastic, but always fully booked ( for a reason) O’Connors.

We arrived as a party of 9 and had booked for 8pm. We were seated infront of the pass 🥵 roasted!! Slow service for a drinks and food order. Had to call the staff over for both. Menu basic, more associated towards kids. Middle of eating our dinner, the lights went out and we were in the dark...okay!! Our plates were removed and we were not offered any dessert or tea/coffee to finish off. The waitress had to check with the kitchen. Dont take a booking at 8pm if you cant complete the service. We were not pleased. Made to feel we had to leave, not impressed!!! Big change from the Central Bar days.

Decided to try here for lunch with a colleague, was so disappointed. We both ordered the fish tacos with a side order of fries between us. States on the menu cod goujons on warm tortilla bread. It was present on what looked like deep fried tortilla which was cold not warm, we couldn’t eat it at all. I mentioned to the staff the tortilla was cold and was told it was suppose to be like that. He did offer to take it back, but we were on our lunch break and hadn’t time to wait any longer for our lunch. Two small tortillas with one piece of lettuce, bit of avocado and a cod goujon. Ridiculous at £10.95

We happened upon this place in Ballycastle looking someplace for dinner. The atmosphere was amazing. The service was quick and friendly. We were seated in front of the kitchen window, which made selecting a meal difficult because everything looked sooooo good. We were not disappointed with our selections. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend if you are in Ballycastle.

Waited half an hour to go to the dinner room that was empty. First dish: soup of the day, no teast at all. Then vegetale strip in a cinese salt sweet sauce from supermarket. The salad was in the sauce too and you get tired soon of the same taste. On the side french fries, but the taste was fish, means the oil is the same and old and I'm vegetarian. My wife ordered a fish and chips, but no taste at all because it's clear that everything was frozen. In Italy a place like that close in ten days. Disgusting!

Fantastic. Really cosy atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, nice beer. Arrived too late for food, after last food orders but when I mentioned I hadn't eaten since lunchtime the barman went to see the chef, came back and sat me at a table. Dinner sorted despite it being late and very busy, top service. Lovely food too and a lot of it. 10 out of 10

Lovely pub setting for dinner. Decent range on the menu, and should suit a variety of tastes. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The place was spotless. I was in for an early dinner do it was quiet, but still comfy and not at all awkward. Seems like a lovely spot to pop in for a drink or a meal. Comfy seats, well laid out, and cozy. Proper butcher's sausages too that were so yummy!

Stopped in on our way to a night away at the salt house hotel & have to say was not disappointed at all the food was lovely and the staff were friendly. Would go back.

We had the best takeaway from here on Saturday night, steak sandwich and hake and chips. Ordered it by phone at 6 and had it delivered to the door at 6.20! It was amazing, lovely and warm and cooked to perfection. Will definitely order again.

Decided to change it up from our usual Saturday takeaway, and we regretted it instantly. Luke warm and expensive, food was below average.. not the best takeaway experience we’ve had, compared to most around town?? Very very average for a “wine bar”

This is the epitome of a traditional Irish Bar. Quite rightly displaying its trophies and awards to confirm this.Despite the current climate we were warmly welcomed and shown to our tables by a very friendly host.The venue is spotlessly clean and the service impeccable. We all had hearty filling food, which was much needed as we were in the grip of storms and rains of biblical proportions.The menu was extensive and varied. I had the Thai curry that really hit the spot the spice levels were perfect, it gave a kick but not to the point of discomfort, all the flavours were notable. One of the other ladies had a gluten-free option slow roast and it came with tons of freshly perfectly cooked veg and mash.Everyone enjoyed it and we sank a bottle or two of wine which came of a very reasonable wine list.

Lovely to return to BC albeit in these difficult times . We have been here 2 weeks, self isolating and have thoroughly enjoyed delivery from The Central twice . The service and food was Wayyyy above what we have previously experienced with any delivery - this was fast, hot and delicious restaurant quality food . The steak arrived beautifully medium- rare , hot , juicy, and tasty , just like fine Irish beef should with mushrooms/ tomato and pepper sauce with a choice of a side . Can’t beat it for quality and at an unbelievable price ( side note : only in Ballycastle can you have your dinner delivered in a silver Mercedes :)Will definitely be ordering again a real treat.

My wife and I visited the North two years ago and stopped off in Ballycastle. We ate in the Central on a recommendation from our friends who visited Ballycastle a month before hand, they did rave about this place.. We had a lovely meal that night and we ended up partying in the bar to the small hours and even ended up chatting to Philip who is the owner.Fast forward to September of this year. We had three nights booked in Belfast and we just had to visit the Central again as this bar is probably the nicest bar we have visited as a couple. The food was amazing again and we really loved the new menu. I loved the chill chicken especially. Staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Again we ended up downstairs in the bar. All covid compliance was met and we felt very safe. Philip walked by our table and instantly remembered us. He made us feel welcomed and thanked us for visiting again.We hope to spend a week in Ballycastle next year and the Central will be the our first port of call. Thank you Philip and see you in July

Food excellent. Service fantastic. Felt safe with the COVID proceedings in place. Will definitely return

Myself, my husband and another couple live outside of Ballycastle and we have been going to the Central for many years now. We love booking in for dinner in the restaurant upstairs (the staff knows our favorite table and our favorite wine!) and afterwards we make our way down stairs to the bar (which has been newly renovated and is STUNNING) were we always end up dancing the night away to the outstanding bands that play each weekend! The reason we just keep going back is because the standards are always kept high wwith the food, the service, the music and the cleanliness. You are always made to feel so welcome once you walk into this establishment. We have gotten to know the owners (Gemma and Philip) so well over the years and feel like part of the family! On our last visit last weekend again the standards for keeping to the government guidelines for Covid-19 were exceptional, you can see the hard work that went in to keeping their customers safe! The Central just has it all for that perfect evening out! I would recommend if you have kids make sure to book the babysitter in for a late night as you are always guaranted a fabulous evening out from the second you walk in the door. Lisa and Kev

Attended the restaurant with my family for a meal. It was absolutely delicious!! The servers were polite, friendly and extremely helpful; service was speedy and the food was to die for! All covid restrictions were adhered to. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to visiting again

Food mediocre, service mediocre, a table of ten next to us... not within government guidelines. Would not recommend..

Having ate in Central Bar before I chose restaurant for my sister and I for a birthday celebration. I understand Covid-19 restrictions but still thought this was a good choice. How disappointed were we. The food was only OK the service was only OK and the table we were placed at had a table of at least 10(covid-19)beside us the noise was atrocious even though there was a divider between us. When we alerted staff they said these people were sat at 2 tables. When paying the bill we were not asked if everything had been OK even though both parties in front of us were. When we complained it was treated with indifference and a very weak apology given felt like we didn't mater. Would not recommend the Central Bar very very disappointing.

Their chowder is to die for. My girlfriend from Boston never tasted one as good. The salmon and other fish chunks were large, fresh and tenderly cooked in a succulent preparation. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. This is an authentic Irish Pub and wine bar along the stunningly beautiful northern coast. We loved their food and will return to the area also to visit this fine establishment. Highly recommended for food, drink, and good times!

Recently visited called into the bar by accident and had lunch, what a pleasant surprise lunch was absolutely delicious steak sandwich and seafood chowder My wife couldn't finish the chowder it was massive full of fish I tasted and it was so falvoursome my steak sandwich was perfectly cooked tender and tasty The staff were attentive courteous and professional the premises were spotless with good space between tables Totally recommend and I will be back

Stopped over in the area and forgot to book for dinner, however the staff where very accommodating and managed to get us a table for 4 despite a busy evening. Great food & service can’t fault it!

We have been coming here on each of our holidays and look forward to good reasonable priced food , sadly not so today ,my soup was almost cold and the chicken wings came covered in a chilli sauce even though we had asked not to have the sauce on at all ,they were far to hot ( spicey) to eat ,though we had very little to eat he bill still came to £19 ,the cost of the chicken was taken off but no acknowledge the error . The staff were pleasant but maybe not as interested as once would have been . Not a good day food wise .

Lovely, well spaced dinning experience, clean and well managed. Very friendly staff, good menu with plenty of choice. Well worth a try

Great bar and great friendly staff especially a young man named tiarnan he is a valuable member of staff, He is just an amazing young man and the great job and company he provided for this bar and restaurant is essential for any business. I will be back because of this young man, and hope to see him there again.

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Ballycastle so we were very pleased to be back for dinner. Food as ever was lovely. Steak brilliant as ever and fish and chips and curry all lovely. Only issue was that it was too crowded downstairs - We were seated next to a table of 18 plus endless people coming in and going up to the secret garden and then coming downstairs past us to the bar to get drinks. Didn’t feel very covid safe so won’t be back for awhile. Other restaurants in the area trying much harder to keep people safe.

Mesas espaciosas, buena comida, buen servicio en una cervecería irlandesa con ambiente local junto al paseo marítimo. Al ser una cervecería, tienes amplia gama para elegir.Buen precio.Volveríamos a este bar.

Had house salad at £4 tiny we bowl of unwashed lettuce wouldn’t go back day menu and night menus just same was not impressed at all very dangerous to serve unwashed lettuce it def was unwashed as I put some on my napkin and water was brown in colour

Lovely place, friendly staff, excellent food and felt very safe with measures in place. Highly recommend.

Absolutely worth the travel from belfast the food was amazing it is a must try the next time any1 is here. Service was also top notch Thank you so much.

We ate here on a Friday night. Downstairs was busy, noisy and cramped. We had booked upstairs in recommendation of a local and were glad we did. Table was in a partitioned area so it felt safe. Good service and great food. Would recommend.

We visited twice on our holiday to Ballycastle. Once without the kids and once with our kids and the wider family. On both nights the staff couldn’t have done more for us and were so warm and friendly. The food was excellent too. We would definitely go back.

We had Sunday lunch here today with my father and 4 children one of which was in a wheelchair. No problem booking the table to accommodate the wheelchair and when we arrived the staff from management down went above and beyond for us. With regard to COVID 19 I felt very safe bringing my children in here for dinner, we had a booth to ourselves and adequate safety measures in place such as online menus, sanitiser etc. The footplate of my daughters wheelchair had come loose and they guys got an Alan key and helped fix it, while chatting away to her. The guys were also very helpful and attentive in operating the wheelchair lift so she could access the bathroom which was spotless. All 7 of our Sunday lunches were beautiful...the kids cleaned their plates! My father and the hubby were delighted with their dinner and a nice pint. The staff were so attentive but we had great craic and banter too. My little girl was delighted the staff were so good to her and made her feel so comfortable and can’t wait to go back. Happy kids = happy mummy! Thanks so much to the team for excellent service, great food and all done safely during the pandemic, we can’t wait to visit again soon.

Went here with my girlfriend on the 12th July. Amazing food friendly staff and had a good vibe. Quality of food was top notch! Prices are cheap aswell and you get bit portions. Would recommend!

We had booked a family birthday in The Central there was 16 of us and they sent me a selection of menu options which was very helpful.The food was exceptional would highly recommend the chicken pollo lorenzo and rump steak, Drinks there was a fantastic wine list and a great choice of beers and ciders, The girls ordered a Gin Tree which they loved.Staff were engaging and very attentive, after the birthday meal we had 2 options of entertainment downstairs live music and upstairs had a dj..great evening all round will definitely be back.

My fiance and I had lunch and it was so tasty. My salmon and wheaten bread was delicious and my partner's seafood chowder was full of flavour and very fresh. We also had the sticky toffee pudding to share; and one word - yum! Would definitely recommend

What a night! As a group of new mums we were looking forward to a night of good food, music and craic! The Central did not disappoint!! Our food was delicious and service was top class - manager Gavin could not have done enough for us! We were expecting to have an early night but with the Irish music and great deals on drinks we stayed ALOT longer than expected!! We will definitely be back again!

We visited this bar twice. On Saturday for the rugby and again on Sunday. Everything about this place is really good, the staff are very friendly and efficient. The seating is well designed for watching any of the screens. Although we did not eat , the food looked really good and tasty. We will definitely eat the next time. There is a very welcoming wood burning stove in the bar area, lovely on a freezing Sunday. The whole bar is just class.

Over priced and underwhelmed. Choice on the menu looked to be for max profit rather than customer satisfaction. Not good enough for what you guys are charging.

Had lunch here this week . I had the not inexpensive fish and chips . Soggy battered cod . Not good .Minimal tiny bowl of puree peas . Hard thick cut chips . Good waitress only saving grace . Disappointing.

Lovely bar with nice atmosphere and hard working staff but the wait time from placing your order to having food on the table is beyond ridiculous. 1hr 45mins after entering this restaurant, we were still waiting on our main course. We had one starter served in this time frame. A member of staff advised us that there would be "a few more minutes to wait" for our food after a lengthy wait. After 20 "more minutes" still no food.There was a large party upstairs which obviously slowed things down but surely there should be a contingency for this. Very disappointing as this place could be really good. Maybe just an off night but highly unlikely to make a return here.

Fantastic lunch here today, cosy atmosphere, warm fire and great service. Food was excellent, I had the Hake and my wife had the roast beef all beautifully cooked and great value.

Asked a glass for my beer and never got it, asked for no veg with roast beef and plate came with veg, asked them to change it and when the plate came back with no veg the gravy on the food was freezing cold so left the whole dinner freezing cold told them and they brought me warm gravy! Ordered dessert and when I got it I waited 15mins for a spoon to eat it with, never seen anything as bad - won’t be back

We booked a table for old year night and the owners/manager were very professional insofar as sending the menu via WhatsApp and then following up to confirm booking etc. Very impressed even before we arrived. On the night there was a set menu (2 courses £25 or 3 for £29) but we were also offered the full menu as well, they just asked that the entire table chose to order for one or other. For such a busy night food was excellent and the staff were attentive, friendly and engaging (the waitress pulled over a seat complaining she needed to sit while taking our order which we thought was endearing). As it was a special night the place was jumping with live music down in the bar and a disco (haven’t been to one of these in a Very long time) up towards the beer garden. The atmosphere was friendly, electric and a brilliant to people watch. We eventually left after the new year was toasted in and left the young ones to enjoy the celebrations. Just want to say well done to everyone from the chiefs and kitchen crew who provided a beautiful meal to the waiting staff for the way they went the extra mile and to the management/owners for an exceptional evening.

I should have known by the number of free tables that it was a mistake or eat here.

Have been coming to the Central for 3 years and always enjoyed, since it has been under new management it has gone down hill, had to speak to the new manger about my undercooked pasta, he basically took my plate away and returned with the same plate of undercooked pasta with a bit of cheese sprinkled over it, not even an apology, no one comes near you to ask is everything ok! unlike the previous owners, wont be back....think he needs to go on a 'customer services course'....

Stayed in Ballycastle for one night and this place was recommended by owners of b & b Good menu choices with specials and nice choice of wines on offer Food was good and reasonable sized portions, although did send one item back as only lukewarm

We popped in after a visit to the giants causeway.

New menu is great and so was the food. Was in on a Tuesday lunchtime with friends. Keep the standards going and we will be back 👍

I have been coming to the Central since the early 2000's....two weeks ago, lured by their Halloween Party, I hopped on a plane and came over. They have remodeled again since last I was there some years ago and I really like what they have done. The McHenry's and their staff are fantastic and always give a great welcome! The food was very good, the live music was incredible, the people are great, the prices are reasonable and....I just can't say enough good things about it. I flew 4,000 miles and drove 4 hours each way to come to The Central Bar...if that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what would...

This place is brilliant - really friendly and helpful staff, the food was DELICIOUS, and decent live music which suited the setting perfectly. There was no actual vegetarian/vegan menu as they are in the middle of sorting a proper one out, but I had a veggie version of the sizzling fajitas, and can’t get over how delicious they were! They offered other veggie options too, such as curry and pasta dishes, so plenty to choose from! My partner had the chicken fajitas and was just as pleasantly surprised with how much flavour they had. Excellent al round. Oh, and the prices are good too - then we were told they had a 50% off mains deal on too which made it even better!

Lovely ambiance, upscale traditional style pub. The food was incredible. Over 3 visits I had the seafood chowder, fish and chips, roast beef dinner, and the “Eton mess” dessert which were all delightful. Would go again for sure!

We hadn’t decided where to eat on our visit to Ballycastle but the warm welcome when we went into the Central Bar sealed the deal! We were immediately seated offered drinks and menus and a choice of table. The staff were really friendly, and the manager was excellent on a busy Saturday evening sorting everyone out with no fuss or bother. The food was really good we had smoked cod and a steak. We stayed on for the music which was very entertaining. We had an fantastic evening.

We stayed 2 nights in Ballycastle and ate here on the 2nd night. We where greeted warmly the second we walked in. Menus given and drinks order taken very quickly. The food was very good. I had jalepeno fritters with red pepper salsa and it was amazing. My partner had seafood chowder which he said was delicious. Mains where fresh battered cod and beef burger. Again both where lovely, cooked just right. There was live music and this made for a really good atmosphere. If you only have 1 night, I think this is a very good choice. I would definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

Visited this bar for drinks on a Friday & Saturday night, lovely bar with good music and very friendly staff.

...freundlicher Bedienung und am heutigen Abend auch Livemusik (melodische Gitarre/Gesang). 100%ige Empfehlung!

Four of us arrived on a Saturday night without reservations and were accommodated quickly despite being busy. The food was beautiful and we were all very happy with our meals. The atmosphere was nice and the waitress who served us was very friendly.

The proprietor of the B&B; we were staying in recommended The Central Wine Bar for dinner on Sunday evening. We made an on line reservation just in case but got lost and were 30 minutes late. We expected it to be slow and quiet on a Sunday and were surprised that it was packed without one open table. Our waiter remembered our reservation and immediately rustled up some space for us. The place was lively and noisy in a great way -- full of families and children and singles enjoying their Sunday out. And the food was fantastic!! I had the Pli Pli Prawns -- it was an appetizer but so large a portion that I had it for dinner. My husband had the beet and goat cheese salad and fettuccine with chicken. It was absolutely one of the best meals we had in all of Ireland -- North or South. And being part of a local night out was really delightful. Highly recommended.

We drove an hour and a half (3 hour round trip) to Central Wine Bar based on a recommendation- and we were not disappointed.

We were recently in Northern Island and went for a day tour to see Giant's Causeway & Game of Thrones tour. Our driver knew the owner of this pub so we stopped afterwards for lunch. Well, not only is this a beautiful pub and darling little town (Ballycastle!) but the owner was there and he couldn't have been more engaging and welcoming. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, the fish & chips were so perfectly prepared and tasty. We were in Scotland/Ireland for near 3 weeks and this was by far the BEST f&c;:). The Seafood Chowder was also a '10' and the specialty that day was a beef dish (similar to pot roast here in the states) and the guys devoured it! Seriously a must visit if you do this tour. Everything about it was quintessentially Ireland!!

We visited on a busy Friday night. Unfortunately, the staff was not ready for a crowd. We had a long wait to order food and did not get much attention from them. When the food finally arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. Very tasty and high quality!

Just want to say a huge thanks to Cara and all her staff at the central winebar, Ballycastle. I booked the Central for my husbands 40th Birthday party and the service, food and atmosphere was brilliant. They catered for a party of 42 and everyone enjoyed a two course meal. Cara could not do enough to ensure the organisation of the party was stress free. I throughly recommend the central for food, drinks and dancing.

As a surprise my friends organised a cocktail making session at central bar we had a great time Aaron was informative and knew what he was talking about highly recommend craic was great

Had a magnificent tomato soup and a couple of Guinness Fantastic for a quick lunch staff were friendly and helpful for travellers info

Weekend dinner with friends , we all had fish the chowder was amazing , my friends had smoked cod beautifully cooked and battered cod fresh crisp batter all very fresh

We have been going to the Central Bar in Ballycastle for years now and have always been impressed with the restaurant food.

Our guide stopped at Ballycastle so all could take lunch and did not point out any one place but recommended we check out all. We selected McHenry's and the food was great. My wife and I split a fish-n-chips and a beer each, it was more than enough for both. The staff was very friendly and the value was in line with every place we stopped on our 12 day British Isles cruise. The town itself is one I'd love to visit one day just to spend time exploring. I personally liked it better than the Giant's Causeway!!

I visited this evening with my husband and 2 young children and had a lovely meal. The atmosphere was relaxed and our server Bethany went out of her way to make our children smile and feel welcome.

Well the title says it all, we had two meals in O'Connors (across the road) which were great but the meal in Central bar is probably the worst food I've had for quite some time. The menu is very limited and listening to some of the other diners it sounds as though there has been a change in menu/ chef. I had the allegedly Cajun spiced chicken strips which were completely tasteless and served with cheap frozen chips, my husband had the pie of the day..... a mash topping with new potatoes, red onion, pies and a tiny bit of beef... it looked like the previous days leftovers chucked into a dish. Definitely one to miss!!!

Nice friendly pub great beer great wine great food and most of all great music ...you won’t be disappointed looks a bit rough from the outside but in reality it’s got a goldmine you’ll love it.

we visited here twice back in june whilst staying in Ballycastle for our daughters birthday

We wanted to go somewhere not too far from Coleraine and as we had been to the central wine bar, it was years ago but we always enjoyed our food, surroundings and the service we received. Our 2 girls were away for the weekend so we decided to eat out.

After a day of touring the northern coast of Antrim, my 3 generation family of 8 was thrilled to come across the Central Bar. I am a vegetarian and the chef was more than willing to accommodate me and offered to make a delicious vegetable garlic risotto. Claudio was an amazing server and went out of his way to ensure our meals were prepared to our liking. Definitely worth the visit. Plus they are open on Sundays!!!

I went back to this wine bar again but regretted it . We had been regulars here for many years. Food over priced and cold. Staff uninterested not just in the clientele and food but also in the general area. One member of staff had been there for 7 weeks and had not heard of Rathlin. Food very poor. Complaints ignored. A very expensive lunch. Philip Mc Henry what have you done ????

Me and my family diner for food here tonight and it was delicious! The service was great, the live music was amazing and the all around atmosphere was brilliant. We will be coming back here again.

Very attentive staff. Food good had cod and chive mash tasty and filling. Nice live music. Didn't rush us although every table was full

Su suggerimento del proprietario del nostro bed and breakfast abbiamo cenato in questo bel locale nel centro di Ballycastle. Molto soddisfatti. Servizio non proprio veloce ma l’attesa era accompagnata da un piacevole e discreto sottofondo musicale (dal vivo).

Bel locale caratteristico irlandese. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene. Ottima sia la zuppa di pesce che gli hamburger. Servizio buono, cordiale e veloce. Musica dal vivo dopo le 21.30. Bella serata.

My family arrived in Ballycastle on a Sunday evening and were thrilled that Central Wine Bar was serving food. Though there weren't many vegetarian options on the menu, the waiter offered a number of suggestions which the chef could make and my sister was thrilled with her risotto. They served fresh steamed broccoli which was a welcome treat after a week of mushy peas. I found the slow cooked beef to be a little dry but everything else was delicious. Our waiter, Claudio, went out of his way to help my 7 year old daughter who wasn't feeling well. He was fantastic.

This is a classic looking Irish pub. Their signature fish is the seafood chowder, which is amazing! So rich and creamy it's tastes divine. The prawn and scallop starters were also great flavours. Highly recommended.

de la bonne musique live pop de 18h30 à 20h30 ce soir là, ce qui permets aux ados de partager ce moment

Visited here with the extended family, we sat near the roaring fire, which at times was a little too much but the atmosphere was great.

The food is delicious - highly recommend the seafood chowder and prawns. Service was excellent and attentive, with a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Adults and kids loved eating here.

Dined with family and enjoyed good wholesome food . My slow roasted beef was a good tasty meal. My wife and sister had the butterflied chicken and thought it was gorgeous, another sister had a "perfectly cooked " sirloin. Dined here previously and always look forward to returning.

Myself, my husband and our children ate dinner at the central and the staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. Especially the seafood chowder. We couldn’t recommend the central enough, it was busy but the staff were really attentive with us and considering our children are young, a staff member from Liverpool was really helpful and extremely fun with the children. She made our experience really enjoyable and comfortable, we will definitely be coming back.

I have to admit that arriving early for a drink and finding a packed pub loudly enjoying a Gaelic football grudge match didn’t fill me with hope. However, when the time came to go up to the restaurant, it was a very different story. Terrific environment, really (really) excellent staff and delicious food - for us it had to be fishy - scallops and piri piri prawns, followed by paella and seafood chowder, all of which was delicious. Sadly no room for pudding . I’d highly recommend

Called in for lunch. Lively meal. Gluten free friendly. Slightly more expensive than we are used to paying for lunch but really good me

Si mangia bene , prezzo allineato e non elevato, ambiente classico tra un pub è un ristorante,servizio buono, celeri e cordiali, il bar si trova in pieno centro facilmente raggiugibile

Excellent place to eat. Food was absolutely gorgeous from starter to mains and dessert.

The food in this restaurant is absolutely fantastic Great choices on the menu The staff are excellent and the atmosphere is brilliant

Ate at Central Wine Bar in Ballycastle twice, roast beef was tender, mashed potatoes were amazing. Also had the sweet chilli penne sauce and chicken, absolutely amazing, came home to look up the recipe on line. Cheers to the staff, chef and owner. Wonderful atmosphere and live music here both nights.

Wonderful place, food and people ! The quality and quantity are guaranteed as well Would recommend it!!

Lovely atmosphere, very nice food with a good choice. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good choice of beers and wines. Worth a visit

Arrived on Friday evening , when the Restuarant was in full flight, visitors, golfers young and old thronging the place and basically, every other hostelry full. Got a great welcome from Cara and April, had a wee wait for food which was top class and not very expensive, considering the event in nearby Portrush. Very impressed with all the staff, Martin, Michael, Emma, Claudio, Aaron & Bogdan. If you want a quiet night, stay at home or st the camp site. Great music down stairs, look forward to calling again

Hats off to the staff at the Central! I booked a group of 36 rowdy Belfast tennis players for dinner at the restaurant after a grass tennis tournament. We pre-booked our orders with Cara (she should be employee of the month!) and when we arrived, were seated in a perfect area and were served by outstanding staff .
