Keegan's Bar in Armagh

Great atmosphere lovely staff . Wonderful food especially the lamb shanks! Well priced and very helpful staff. Will be back.

Excellent food and great service! Couldn't rate it high enough. Fantastic bar and great staff 👏

We celebrated our daughter’s 40th birthday in (Bernie ‘s Snug ) Keegan’s bar & restaurant . Luara and her team were brilliant nothing was any bother food choices quality and portions was great . Service was very quick and everything was very well presented . Would highly recommended it . .

The best meal I had during my entire trip. The lamb shank is superb!! It fell off the bone entirely. Also, these folks are just amazing - I left my purse at the restaurant and one of the restaurant staff drove it all the way down to Dublin and hand delivered it to me. I couldn’t have asked for a kinder and more supportive interaction with a local business. THANK YOU! I will always return when in the area! ❤️

Lovely meal, atmosphere, good portion, friend was vegetarian and was very happy with her meal, all were happy with there meal's.

This place never disappoints. We vist regularly on a Saturday evening. Excellent food and excellent service great atmosphere. Very friendly manager and staff.

Top class food lovely friendly staff

Lovely food , very friendly staff , good atmosphere , if you have never been well worth a visit

Regular at this venue and wouldn’t go past it! Always worth the trip. Priced better than anywhere else in the town. Food is great. Guinness and cocktails are always better than 8/10 Recently the service has improved massively which has been a mitigating factor in allowing the 5 star rating

Great place to watch a football game and have amazing food. The food was really good.. I was expecting pub quality but this was high end restaurant quality!

Atmospheric and beautiful decorated pub. Nice service and tasty food. Highly recommend

Great feed staff were amazing the craic was great with the other customers

Food was really really enjoyable. Staff were nice. Lovely bright dining area also. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff nice food. As alway Laura

Cozy place, excellent food, honest prices A tip: try the desserts.....

Excellent pub food and very friendly and competent staff!

Unfortunately a birthday party was in, so it was nearly a 90 minute wait from starters to main course. But everyone loved the meals. Lovely staff, kid friendly, open, light and airy. Would go back

Yet another great time out at Keegans. We went for a committee meeting followed by some food. We were extremely well looked after and catered for being given a quiet area to have our meeting. We then enjoyed a perfect meal with coffee and relaxed in the comfortable surroundings . Not our first visit here as it is always our number one choice. When you find the perfect place that meets all your requirements and staff that always go above and beyond to accommodate every need you most definitely keep returning. A shout out to the chef for the wonderful food as always and Joanne for the excellent service. Keep up the good work and we will be back soon

Lovely family bar who are very welcoming and friendly. The overall experience is always second to none. The staff really go out of their way to accommodate you, even when they're really busy. The food is fantastic. We always go for food and drinks when we are down in Armagh.

We had our Wedding Reception here for our small Wedding. Staff and management couldn’t do enough for us. Every need taken care off. Food was amazing, staff so friendly and helpful. Anyone having an event please don’t hesitate to use Keegan’s Armagh 5 ⭐️

Thanks so much, the staff are brilliant, I had three elderly person for dinner and they were well look after. Food well priced.

Had a great meal with my family. The girls who served us were great 👍

Came here with the family for some food. Was seven of us and the staff were amazing. The bar was so busy only the one table left and had a wedding going on with the football but the staff handled everyone perfectly. We had several members of staff passing asking if we were on if we needed anything. We had drinks and food all was beautiful and not a long wait either. Deffs will be back the atmosphere was great everyone smiling and enjoying themselves

I was there wendesday gone 2 days after Armagh winning all Ireland 🇮🇪 I am from Limerick City and locals recommend it to me in neds bar staff extremely friendly smiling and kept asking everything ok lamb shanks like jelly so soft ribs brilliant desert brilliant can not say one bad word. Except if I am ever up there again I'll be back

Worst pint of Guinness for a very long time. Watery. Friendly staff though!! Sorry, place came recommended by a local😥👎

Visited today with my partner and daughter. Overall brilliant experience. Food was good. Pity about the offers don’t exist like they used too. Maybe it was because it was midweek at around 2pm? Shout out to the guy running the place downstairs himself. Not another person in sight. Easily 20/30 people downstairs. Drink orders, food orders, serving customers food, answering phone. Constantly ran off his feet. Daughter’s food was cold. 100% because one Person was running the whole place & it sat waiting while he done 100 other jobs. A serious serious workload for one person. Give the guy an extra few days off. 110% deserves it. Young black hair. 1/8/24 . His service was excellent. Best I’ve seen.

Second time have eaten here while visiting the city.The service is very attentive and quick, food is extremely well priced, comes in a large portion and is top notch.More than happy to recommend.

The best place in Armagh. Highly recommend

Waited 30 min to be handed a Menu, waited another 20min and no one came near us to take our order. We then decided to leave but had to pay for our drinks first. Waited another 5-10 min at the bar to try and pay for drinks and ended up placing the money on the bar and walking out. Never Again,

Been to keegans a few times and for Christmas lunch without booking went above and beyond to get us seated and for the low price and high quality food is well worth stopping by you won't be disappointed

Food was excellent, staff were very friendly and atmosphere was brilliant and I had a good time there and prices are very good too. All in all I am giving 10 out of 10 would recommend this place to anyone.

exceptional food, perfect portions

This place is fantastic! Best food and best service! Staff especially joanne and Ariana are just amazing! Highly recommend!!

Lovely food good service and very relaxing atmosphere. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you x

Great staff and food would go again

Nice food , friendly atmosphere and staff

We were there 23 of us on a bus trip. Not one complaint. Food was excellent , staff couldn't have been more attentive. We will definitely be back. Thanks from Templemore Retiremen Group

Great pint of Guinness before family wedding.

From the welcome at the bar to paying our bill the staff were attentive and friendly. Laura and her team made our experience memorable. It was Friday steak night! The food was excellent. We hope to visit again.

Always excellent food and service as usual. There aren't enough stars for keegans.

Excellent service in beautiful surroundings. Very child friendly. Great access for wheel chair users. Gorgeous food at great price

Just had a brilliant lunch in Keegan's bar,top service and highly recommend. Worth coming from Belfast for.

Gerry& ann qt keegans'gorgeous lunch .brilliant foid& service top notch.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Ordered the keegans steak burger and it was served quickly and it tastes amazing. Will definitely be coming back. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to get in there and try it. Absolutely delicious.

One of the nicest hospitality venues in a city rather short of them. On the edge of the city, with a narrow exterior, easy to miss, the entrance leads to a large but cosy, nicely fitted interior. Good portion sizes and a decent range of drinks. Staff friendly to tourists. Prices reasonable.

beautiful food at an excellent price perhaps staff could do with some training to build their confidence with wine pronunciations

Keegan's food, staff and service are outstanding, if you want a down to earth homely atmosphere you'll be hard beat to find anywhere better than Keegan's, I give it 5 stars but it definitely should be double that and then some

Hidden gem. Lovely food, freshly cooked and promptly served. Absolutely gorgeous goats cheese salad and the chicken wrap and peppered chicken enjoyable.

I went to this bar/restaurant based on the reviews that were left here. I am therefore going against the grain when I only leave a 3 star. I was disappointed based on the reviews of what we got. First of all, we were kept waiting for a few minutes while the waiter was cleaning tables. There seemed to be 2 main waiters and numbers of waitresses popping in and out. I had not a clue who was serving at one stage and sometimes service was quick but sometimes it could be very slow. Between finishing the starters and getting our plates taken it took almost 20 minutes. When we got our main course, no new cutlery was given. The food itself was ok but nothing to write home about. For starters, we had the Duck Spring Rolls and the Crumbed Mushrooms. I was certainly expecting more mushrooms and the Duck Rolls were ok but nothing to write home about. The main courses were much better and this is why I will give this review a 3 star. My wife ordered lamb which was lovely and tender and ordered the Lasagne, chips and a side order of Onion Rings. I don't know if it is just in Armagh but in Keegans there is a lack of variety of beers. No Peroni or other top names or indeed any craft beers which is disappointing, so I went for Hop House which was ok and we ordered some wine. Don't get me wrong. There was nothing bad about the food or service but then again there was nothing particularly good about it either.

We have always loved keegans bar because their food, atmosphere and staff are second to none, we are always made feel very welcome and always a very friendly atmosphere everytime we are there, because of this we booked our sons Christening meal here and family members that has never been before said the food and service was the best they have ever experienced, Laura always welcomes us with a smile and goes above and beyond everytime to make sure we have the best time and every time we visit it just gets unbelieveably better and better I would highly recommend Keegans Bar

I called in for 2 pints before the match. Great spot and the pints of Guinness are top class. Big crowd, but easy to get served. Very good staff

have eaten here before going to a show in the theatre and the meal was super as usual and was keenly priced. will def be back next time we are back in armaghn

We booked Keegans for dinner for six ladies before attending a function in Armagh City Hotel. The food was great, the waiter was able to organise the starter of ribs as a main course, some of the party ordered a selection of starters to have as a tapas meal. From vegetarian, steak peppered sandwich, BBQ ribs, cod and chips, food was delicious . The staff could not have been more helpful. Great food and best customer service. Thanks, we will be back.

I have just discovered a new favourite place in Armagh Called in for some food and drinks. Hot whiskys were perfect. So hard to get in most bars now. Food was of a high standard and, best of all, was the service. Even though bar was very busy Laura went out of her way to get us a table and she looked after us so well. Thanks Laura!

lovely meal ... reasonable price... staff helpful and pleasant good vibe in this restaurant/bar . ..

Very nice and friendly pub. Good food.

Lovely meal and fantastic service. Fully recommend.

Have dined in keegans twice recently and both times its been absolutely top class The food itself is really wholesome fayre with more than enough on the plates The mostly young staff are very attentive and are very conscientious about their customers,I cannot recommend Keegans highly enough

Omg.. Not our 1st visit as a group but our 1st Christmas experience .. We all had steak bar 1 he had the lamb shank amazing. Food service was excellent well done Laura and ur gang.. Use always pull out all the stops... Christmas cracker and complementary prosecco on arrival... Not one of the 6 of us found a falt... Obviously why we came back..DEFFO OR FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT IN ARMAGH.. XX

My son and his wife recommended Keegans to us - they have been there numerous times . We had a friends night out in it last night and had a wonderful meal and drinks. The staff and service were excellent and we will definitely be back again - hopefully soon !

Brilliant Family pub nice owners

Thank you to the kind and gracious man that give up his seat for me to sit while I waited for an empty table. The ale while I waited for the table cold and good, nectar of the gods. The pub was packed on my arrival.

The menu choice is good, provided you eat meat, and reasonably priced but the overall experience reflects the low price. There are no vegetarian or vegan options on the menu, which is a poor show in a city centre restaurant in 2023. The service is slow (one hour order waiting time) and disjointed with every request having to be made more than once. Base-level service was not provided such as food being served without cutlery on the table and no continuity of staff attending the table. The portion size was on the small side and the food was mediocre. I would return to this restaurant but they seriously need to up their game.

Delish food and well priced, family ran bar with great atmosphere and decor.

Lovely Decor, great staff and fab food!

Was in on Saturday and food was top class food was good sized portions and very quick

Best food in town, with the best prices. Prawns.on wheaten bread, the best I've had. Laura and her staff are flawless. Always willing to please and adjust the menu to suit the customer with no extra hidden charges.

Beautiful food, friendly staff, excellent service 👌

Food and service was excellent. It was a Wednesday night so it was quiet, though an opportunity to watch the football.

Excellent service, the food was lovely a very well-priced. The bar is very nice inside and a lot bigger than you realise.

Great food service and.atmosphere Staff fantastic Always willing to adjust food to your needs Best spot in Armagh

A home away from home. Such a welcoming Bar! Food was lovely and staff were all fantastic as alway! My family come here quite a lot. Nice Pulled Guinneas as well!

Visited her yesterday for some lunch, beautiful place with very friendly and welcoming staff, special mention to Lucas who couldn't have done enough for us. The food was excellent and unbeatable prices, a very genuine and honest place that has been beautifully decorated in all the right places. Although we don't live in Armagh I would make the trip just to go here again. Thank you Robert.

Great family run bar, food never disappoints, good value for money and very tasty, we always visit when back home in Armagh. Always a great welcome from Laura, I’m not surprised the place does so well with her at its helm. Looking forward to our next visit! 🤩

Chose this pub because it is our daughters name while traveling through the country. It did not disappoint. Food was excellent (lamb shank and veg soup), friendly service and the atmosphere/decor suited both the drinker and non drinker. Great family pub!

Had another beautiful meal here on Wednesday night, not one thing to fault absolute bargain x

Wir lieben das Essen und das Ambiente in diesem Restaurant. Das Essen und der Service war super

Great food , lovely atmosphere,nice and clean , reasonable prices

Great choice of good value food. Each dish was hot and well presented and was delicious. The service was prompt and friendly.

Amazing food, great service and lovely atmosphere.

Booked here for a group of 14 people. The staff were very welcoming. They gave us some drinks for free too. Food was reasonably good, and very abundant.

I made a booking for 20 adults and 8 children for a party. Laura and all the team were nothing less than amazing! We dropped balloons and cake in before the party and everything was sitting perfectly when we arrived. The food was amazing and everyone was fed at the same time. The children could not have been better looked after by all the staff between food sweets and treats. Nothing was an issue and everyone was so friendly. We were offered an outside area to take pictures and let the children play. I could not rate this place highly enough. Everyone was fantastic.

Ate here with 2 kids 13 and 11. It was a busy Saturday evening and we hadn't booked but staff were friendly and found us a table in about 15min. They have a lovely menu. Food was plentiful and delicious. Staff were attentive and again friendly. Place had a great atmosphere too.

We booked Keegan's for a family function for 35 people. Laura, the owner was in touch regularly during the lead up to the function and gave us plenty of information beforehand. The function itself couldn't ha e went any better. The food was great and the service was top notch. All 35 people got their food within a few minutes of each other which was great. We'd highly recommend Keegan's and can't wait to be back.

We had a fabulous nite between food &drinks the food was excellent &staff brilliant 👏 the early bird menu was grat value 4 money hats off 2 chef & staff

Excellent in every way. brilliant staff. friendly the food is divine hot and delicious especially the lasagna. X

Friendly and well run pub with a good bar food menu. We had fish & chips and Keegan's lamb shank which were brought to us quickly and were very tasty.

Amazing food, fresh cocktails, fantastic atmosphere and exceptional service. You could go elsewhere in town, pay three times the price you'd pay in Keegan's and it wouldn't be anywhere near as good. Keegan's is an Armagh staple because it's all of the above and *incredibly* reasonably priced. It's no exaggeration to say it blows absolutely everywhere else in town (and very likely further afield, too) out of the water. I, for one, can't rate this place highly enough. It's one of the few places in town to reinvest back into the bar, Bernie's snug is a wonderful addition. While everyone else was crying into their coco pops about how awful covid was for the hospitality industry, Laura, Donna and Co got to work to make the bar the absolute best version of what it could be. Kudos to the Keegan family and long may their success continue, it can't be easy keeping such high standards and such reasonable prices.

Excellent food & drink complimented with fantastic staff gives this venue 5⭐️

Amazing food and great team of Staff. Laura could not be more more helpful and is the face of Keegans.😍 Always go here wen I'm in Armagh. Keep up the Great work guys👌

Just a great place to eat. Menu is pretty good, prices reasonable and our choices were excellent. Really friendly staff and good service. Worth booking as it can get busy

Went in for the first time this afternoon, friendly staff and a really fast food service. Delicious Sunday roast and very reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend, if passing through the area friendly atmosphere. Will be back again!

Love this place food delicious staff brilliant

All previous reviews are spot on. An excellent pub with a great atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food.

We attended a dance competition in Armagh last weekend and we were looking for somewhere for 23 adults and children to have dinner on the Friday night. We came across Keegan’s as it was close by. Laura took the booking with one of our group...

Lovely pub thats my parents local. Food is brilliant and great value. I had a £15 seafood linguini which was lovely. Staff great. Do book though

Wonderful food and excellent service.

Delicious food, and very polite happy staff
