Granny Annies Ballymena in Ballymena

Will not be back dull dreary hole

The decor is lovely, music is good live and a playlist. The prices are reasonable and drinks are delicious. We had a grannies angel and fiddle me silly. There is a smoking area with tables outside and the location is really handy also. The only issue is the music is very loud everywhere there is no 'quieter' area so you can't talk and there is no dance floor.

Loved the beer and friendly chap behind the bar.

It's a great place to have a wee drink and chill out with friends. Drinks are very reasonable and the staff are great

Top quality. Staff are great and great service

Brilliant atmosphere plus staff member named Arron couldn't have been better.

The spinning mill is now Granny Annie's. It is nice and clean and the drinks taste nice. There was music on in the background which was nice. However, the table we where sitting at was wobbly and our drinks nearly fell 🤣 the staff member that served us was not the friendliest however they might not have been having the best day. Everyone else was nice. Overall I would recommend Granny Annie's!

Got to say for a saturday night place was dead. From a lively pub to less than a dozen people

Extremely dark and dingy, not a great place to eat at all.

Nice looking place, tradicional. However we left as we were waiting long for someone to get the order.

Friendly atmosphere and good tunes. Must try the food 😂

barman was lovely nothing too much for him although he could of done with help we had the sirloins everything very plain kitchen could do with someone who knows how to cook boring food

Terrible with a capital T...food below average for price.An unpleasant and unkempt place to have a meal. Seated next to smelly toilet facilities...a 3rd world experience..never again

Food is great service is quick no complaints from me L

A little dated inside however the good food and friendly staff made it worth a visit, great pints to. 👍

Nice place to go. Live music, friendly staff and quality service.

We came before ten o'clock friday night but kitchen was still open and we ordered tasty burgers and lasagne. Staff were lovely. Was live music on friday night and really good atmosphere there. I highly recommended this place.

We were took upstairs my word the carpet mustn't have been changed in 20yrs food awful prepacked would have been better never again

It's totally freezing.radiators not working.staff excuse:radiators need 2 b bled,which may take 3 days!it's warmer outside.

Very disappointed the prices double after 3 clock for the same things

I love this place as I do a lot of crocheting and I get all my stuff here so thank you so much.❤

Good for a meal and quiet drink

Can't beat a Thursday night sing song and some nice staff to keep the smiles rolling!

Food was lovely but its a very dark dingy place to sit in also dirty. The place had just opened & the table we sat at was dirty & sticky. Waited for ages so we ended up cleaning it for ourselves. During our meal the table wasn't level so kept moving & then spilling our drinks. Don't think we'd go back again to be honest.

Meal was quite good the service was very good , and there is a lot to be said about keeping the place as traditional as possible, but it could do with something , the toilets weren’t great .

Amazing food! The place is well decorated and feels just like home. Reasonably priced and top quality. Definitely would go back again without hesitation!!

Had chicken and chips and also a christmas dinner it was lovelly also very nice christmas decorations i also liked the gold lighting and the snowman in the window.

Disappointing. Very basic burger and chips with no garnish. The 'Roast Chicken dinner' consisted of a deep fried (at least twice) crispy, inedible half chicken with a portion of mash - veg had to be ordered as an extra. The lukewarm coffee was definitely Instant masquerading as an Americano. Will definitely not be back.

Unhelpful staff and expensive drinks

Hasnt been decorated in at least 12 years, its cold and grubby looking and doesnt have a pleasant smell either.

Was in yesterday 6/10/18 with group of friends we all were so disappointed with the way it seems to being runned down no heating on, no sky football, male toilet's downstairs out of order, upstairs closed due to lack of staff and to cap it off my favourite draught beer Heverlees not available .... Granny Annie management not good enough.

Good atmosphere , Thursday karaoke is always a blast! Food is good and drinks are decently priced

Would rate zero. Plastic glasses on a Sat night police at the door and people stoned and underage.

Great place welcoming friending cheap and outstanding food

We came here as a group of 14 for a pre-hen weekend meet up. There is a room for parties and it's done up very well. It was perfect for the party to meet one another. There is also a bar in the room and pool table. The bar staff were more than helpful, lovely girls that helped with anything we needed and also they had a good since of hummor and personalities which really helped the mood of the evening. They also served cocktails and food. No one could fault the place and the cocktail where amazing!

Basic food an sticky tables an bar

We went there today they got are main course wrong and then the dessert order wrong. We won't be back.

Called in with my friend for a glass of wine. We reiceved the dirtiest wine glasses with lipstick stains on the edge, and the wine was flat. Cheap cheap

Lovely food great value for money

Food has gone downhill since it becam Granny Annie's, the menu was much better when Witherspoons had the establishment. Amit, the bartender, was over attentive when I went in to dine on my own. :(

Food was good, tables and seating was a bit rubbish.

Great Bar to meet friends and very friendly and helpful staff .

Great place good food and nice friendly staff

Great wee spot for drinks & food

Food is good and staff are very nice

This place is super cute! The cocktail selection is great, menu was great. Staff are all super friendly and I loved their uniforms. It's a must when I'm in belfast

Very dirty toilets .staff to busy talking .place gone to the dogs .won't be back

Don’t bother going. Good good but bouncers friendly enough but will make up rules if you don’t look, or don’t conform to stereotypes. Music is awful better off going to Belfast.

My favourite place to go out during the weekends. Amazing atmosphere and delicious cocktails. Prices are not too high either.

Ya no se llama así, pero está muy bien para tomar una pinta

Good place for food n night out

Great staff , goodish food . It's a shame that after the two years that its been Grannie Annie's it still hasn't been renovated.. this was supposed to happen three months after it was bought over. Run down look is back on fashion ?

eten was ok! niet geweldig!! was zooo koud binnen iedereen zat met jassen aan! vind ik niet kunnen

Nice music and great prices. Good place to chill out with friends or have a nice meal during their eating hours

Can't give less though it deserves it. last week they had no beer on tap the food is under par and the staff don't give a fig.

Used to be the best wee spot in the town as the Weatherspoons. Cheap good and drink but now taken over by Granny Annie's and food and drink prices have virtually doubled. Still awaiting the promised refurbishment as it's still the same 15 year old decor from the "Spinning Mill" ! Toilets are truly disgusting and they can be smelled on entry.

I like the place as i like room to read etc but still a lot to be desired - no hand dryer or paper towels in toilets for over 6 months in bottom bar which I find very unhygenic - food good and well priced but upstairs rarely open except for staff to eat so space very limited. Drink nowhere near as well priced as Weatherspoons and sometimes run out of basic drinks such as Smirnoff and some beers but to balance this staff are very nice and helpful

Lovely calm atmosphere good food and great Guinness

Not running the new owners down but there was great expectations for a welcomed face lift and refurb from the rumours when they took it over but sadly a year or two on this has not happened yet. The pub has remained the same for decades now and is very dated and in need of a refurbishment, tho it has a lot of potential . Still an ok place to go for craft beers and a bit of live music not as cheap as it used to be but still in line with other bars.

Drink the water, will get you as drunk as the 'alcohol' they serve and is free, they somehow water down the shots but still charge way too much Go elsewhere in town, it's not cheaper and the drinks are rancid. Granny Annie's has ruined this place, used to be one of the best in town

Decent grub and friendly staff. Not pleased we had to sit through pounding music throughout our lunch, it seemed like a good idea to them to test the sound system upstairs on and off for the 45 mins we were there.

Lovely old styled pub, lovely staff and amazing food. The open fire is a big bonus.

Relaxed and cosy atmosphere, good food and staff friendly. Prices very reasonable too! Located in former Wetherspoons site beside Camerons Dept Store.

Most definitely gone downhill since Granny Annie's have took over. This used to be one of the best pubs to go for a cheap drink and decent food at a reasonable price. It's over priced the food is poor quality and very over priced. Was in today and they place just stinks of grease. The tables are new but are sticky. They have changed the layout of the tables etc but it just makes the place look empty. There's a broken window near the toilets upstairs and it's not even been patched in. Was in today and will not rush back which is disappointing as this was a pub I used to love going to. Granny Annie's have ruined it!

Food is excellent and a good range of draught beers.

Had a meal here, first time in Granny Annie's, and the staff were brilliant. The food was lovely.

Pints are good, good is good but make sure you don't take your coat off.

Have really improved food quality just avoid the chips as they like alot places are obsessed by a couple of chips in a cup rather than a portion and have been told few times about it but continue to ignore but everything else is delicious

Pretty Cheap Drinks and great food with a lively atmosphere on weekends especially (can be almost too loud with bad audio mixing) - much more chill however during weekdays

Was there for food shortly after the change to Grannie Annies and staff were unhelpful. Food is massively over priced for the quality......used to be one of the best places for a beer in ballymena but has certainly went downhill from the rebrand.

Popped in for lunch on visit to Ireland food excellent

Compared to other bars in Ballymena this feels very comfortable to me. The staff are lovely and generally there's a decent crowd of people about for most age groups. I'd recommend visiting for a night if you're on the area.

Really looked dirty and run down

Food not that great . Was better under wheatherspoons

Food that bit better than your average pub grub. Just a pity they don't do cask ales

Probably the only place left in the town that's worth spending some time

Food not to bad cutlery could be bit cleaner Service very slow to order but when ordered didn't take long to come.

Food poisoning. Wont reply to emails. Avoid like the plague.

Great food and with more to learn on customers service

Always nice to visit. Good food and good atmosphere.

This place is no longer Wetherspoons and is now Granny Annie's. Prices have shot up but at least they still serve some craft beer 👍

Perfect 5/7 almost as good as the Dark Night

I've eaten and drank here for years. Staff and management are great. Food is good value for money. Will wait and see how the new owners 'Granny Annie's' does. Was in today and there's no vegetarian menus....oh dear. Maybe they'll sort it soon.

My husband who was brought up in catering and traveled the world had the best angus rump steak HE'S EVER HAD. Seriously recommending it.

Aww not to bad but I think a little more service would be good. The guys that work in it I think are brill. I wanna go out with Tony . Sexy

This is a wetherspoons pub. Popped in here for a breakfast after flying in from bristol. Service friendly and prices reasonable as expected in a wetherspoons. Included in the fry up was soda bread and potato bread which wasn't to my taste but well worth a try. Warm and cosy atmosphere.

Amazing food and drink, night atmosphere is good too

Big, good beer selection, decent grub, fair prices

Quit but cosy. Good friendly atmosphere. Would visit again.

Great burgers and cold beer. Great spot to wat h rugby with Saturday lunch

Great selection of ales and craft beers

Obviously turned into a biggotted hole.

Great pub food, good prices and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I accidental dropped my passport there, and the staff put it in the office until I called and arranged for them to post it back, which they offered to do free of charge. I would definitely recommend it to others!
