We went to watch the rugby in the bar and no one was in the bar. The tvs weren't working only the one in the pool room were there was about 5 people playing pool. Hopefully it's just teething problems

I visited the Frisky Bear with friends when on holiday to N Ireland from Canada. Recommended by a local Holywood resident and after reading the reviews, I had some high hopes. I was not disappointed; we stayed for hours. Good pints, great people, even better nuts. I’m allergic to nuts myself, but I was told they were world-class. Will be visiting Belfast again soon and will certainly be taking the train in to Holywood for a few drinks at the ‘Bear when I’m in town. This bar is a must-see!

Called to this excellent establishment today without a booking, was welcomed by the most friendly staff I've come across in years. Best peanuts I've ever had, beautiful beer garden and wonderful regulars that make everyone so welcome. You must visit this pub. I'll certainly be back.

A great City bar. The nuts are in date, the finest selection of Tayto crisps this side of Tandragee and bar staff that compliment the drinking and banterous nature of the patrons. I'll definitely be back

I call in here periodically to meet an old friend, who is, not a regular, part of the furniture. As I have said it is a pub and a damned good one at that. Service is good, staff are good and drink is drink. There is a nice roof terrace, if you smoke. I used to but I still like it, the terrace, that is. To gush over this place would be wrong, it is its own self. You’ll either like it or not but give it a try!

This is what a proper pub should be,good drinks,friendly staff,regulars,and no bull,it is not a pub pretending to be an eaterie or an eaterie pretending to be a pub,it welcomes all sorts of people from bank managers to builders labourers and has wonderful music at the week ends.This pub is a must if you are in Holywood or for that matter if you are in N Ireland.Possibly it is the best pub in the world.

Frisky bar is a great bar. Small but had a good outdoor area now! Always has good live music on and good selection of drinks which are reasonably priced!

Beautiful fish and chips and even better scampi. The batter is so light you can properly taste the food, you will love it.

Last night there was a major power cut in Bangor, down the road from Groomsport, and my brothers and I couldn't dine at the restaurant we had booked. There were a couple of places outside the shut-down area but it was a Friday night and they couldn't fit us in. The Stables, being a high-class establishment was also full up but, unlike the other restaurants, they didn't turn us away. In fact, the chap on the desk was incredibly helpful, saying he would find a place for us and then, five minutes later, he found us an even better table with a view of the sea. We were very impressed with his professionalism and positive attitude. The waiters were also very friendly and helpful and arrived at our table very quickly to get our drinks order. The food was delicious and one of our waitresses went out of her way to find an alcoholic beverage that not everybody is familiar with. After the frustration of trying to find a restaurant where we could celebrate my birthday earlier in the week we hit the jackpot with The Stables. I had eaten there a couple of years ago with a friend from London and liked it but it has improved immensely since that visit. I can't praise the restaurant enough for their friendliness, professionalism and willingness to go that extra mile to make sure we had a good time. And the food, as I said earlier, was top quality. I will definitely go there again and not just for a special occasion. The restaurant totally deserves the five stars I have given it.

Been coming here for years before and after covid. Good quality food but over time the quantity has got worse, I ordered a standard fry and served on a nice big plate but won’t be back as other cafes offer much more food for you money.
