Mary McBride's Pub in Moyle

We thoroughly enjoyed dinner here on consecitive evenings. Very tasty and wholsome food with interesting accompaniments. Appreciated they put by my unfinished wine for next meal. Highly recommend.

Went for dinner with the family. Have been before but was my first time upstairs. The food was very nice and the staff were friendly. We all enjoyed ourselves. Only problem is it has more limited opening times during the winter.

Stopped by here by chance for a bite to eat and was very pleasantly surprised by the great food and excellent service. Wish I’d had more time to idle a few hours in the beer garden. Must try and get back.

A friendly welcome with a roaring fire on a cold, windy day. We had the delicious small chowder with wheaten bread which was a perfect light lunch.

First Class a Gem of a Find! We booked dinner on New Years Eve, what a treat. Gorgeous food, relaxed and comfortable ambience Jackie & all the staff were super efficient, friendly and kind. The food was scrumptious. Thank you for a lovely evening. We will return!!

First visit here, friendly staff. Beautiful food. Bleak day in November but very warm, friendly atmosphere

Great Service and delicious food! The location is in a quaint tiny town. They have every Guinness Poster ever it's pretty cool. GOT Fans they have a door!!!!

No había muchos restaurantes abiertos por la zona así que tuvimos la suerte de encontrar este para poder comer algo. Pedimos un plato de pasta cada uno. Lo cierto es que fue normal sin más, sirvió para quitarse el hambre pero me pareció mejorable, pues la salsa estaba demasiado cargada y la digestión se hizo difícil. No disfruté tanto como en el resto de restaurantes pero tampoco es que sea un mal sitio.

Very nice lunch indeed. Opted for the Guinness and Steak pie with champ and veg and it was delicious. Steak melted in your mouth and was very tasty. My partner went for the goujons and garlic chips which were also polished off. Meal and drinks were as good a price as you would get anywhere else. Will return and recommend

Lovely Dining room . Friendly staff...very relaxing and friendly..The food was top class and we will certainly be coming back again and highly recommend this dining experience...The Little Black Door..Mary McBrides Cushendun

Fantastic dining expierience, impeccable service for our table of 12. Food was awesome can't wait to visit again. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Most of the bar staff are incredibly helpful however I ordered drinks at the time of last orders and spent about 10 minutes afterwards gathering ffriends in a busy bar to come and take the drink that I had ordered, only to hear that one of the owners had poured two untouched drinks away. Followed by 10/15 minutes of belittling by said person after which I was able to get a full refund the drinks that I had just ordered shortly before. Having worked in bars before I was fully aware that this was absolutely terrible service and should not be tolerated. I am a regular to the bar and have never had this happen to me before so you shouldn't let this put you off however I wanted to mark the occasion as I am utterly appalled at how this was handled. Again I will state that this has been a once off however I hope that those concerned will take note of this absolutely terrible service and learn from it so that it doesn't happen again and take away from the beautiful bar that is mary mcbrides

Food unbelievable every time! Situated by croxteth park perfect for a dog walk and your morning coffee Really consistent 5th visit and can’t wait to go back highly recommended

Such a change from the place downstairs; no disrespect, that was lovely, but this was MUCH better and really suited a birthday treat. However, if you want to go, the tables book up quickly, so decide early. I personally ate the fish, as the guest chef specialises in this, but my Dad swore by the lamb. My mum would have said that there was far too little onion in the champ but it evoked special memories, so I loved it regardless.

Beautiful Inn with more charm than you could write about. Mary’s was fantastic and we lucked into a table with four on an early evening. The lamb with samphire was great as was the fish starter and the desert was over the top. The servery in the hall going up the stairs was classic. The people were nice and the GOT lue door was the topper.

Staying in ths village and had dinner as we couldn't be bothered to drive a long way. Didn't have massively high expectations but would have just been happy with a reasonable pub pie and chips in decent surroundings. What a pleasant surprise then to end up with a fabulous, tasty two course meal for the six of us which was served (by super friendly Siobhan) faultlessly and at a very reasonable price. Best meal out in quite a long time.

Perhaps it is because that I've always returned to Cushendun and enjoyed both pubs there that I have taken my recent experience at McBrides so badly. A friend, a local, and I went into McBrides for some light lunch on Wednesday 24 August 22. I ordered the chicken "open sandwich" from the menu and subsequently my friend politely explained that she was vegetarian and were there any open sandwich options available to her. The waitress was totally unanimated and disinterested and replied "it's what's on the menu, it's just basically a salad, you could have that without the chicken". Interestingly, these words were accompanied by a hand gesture with her two hands opening up like a book, presumably representing the openness of the bread comprising the sandwich. The food arrived without a smile or word. The salad components being very good but swamping the single, VERY thin slice of wheaten bread, about 3×2 inches. Halfway thru my meal, I asked if I may have another slice of wheaten as I had lots of salad left. Upon departure, the waitress, in a very curt manner, slammed down a plate in front of me saying "here's the wee bill for your extra bread". On clarification, I was informed that "nothing is free these days you know". It's not the £1 , it's not the total cost being over £30, it's not even that "open sandwiches" usually comprise two slices of bread being "open", it's the appalling attitude that hurt. On departure I mooted to my friend that if this how locals are treated, what do they say to tourists? I shall refrain from quoting the waitresses reply. Over the years I have spent much time and money at McBrides, brought my family visiting from overseas and in my role as a tour guide and tourism information advisor on the Antrim coast, have directed MANY visitors to both Cushendun and McBrides which will undoubtedly have brought the business added footfall and revenue. It was embarrassing to see how embarrassed my friend was that we could be treated with such contemptuous lathargic distain in her local. Ironically, not two months prior, we had spent over £60 on an evening meal in the upstairs restaurant and then, the young lady serving us (not seen her working since) was smiley, intelligent, helpful and charming.

Stopped here following drive from Dublin. It certainly did not disappoint us. The decor is wonderful. the food was delicious and of course, the Guinness top class.

I went with friends for dinner on 5/8/22. Been here many my times and it is just great!! Wee pint in the beer garden, pub quizz, or just drinks. For dinner the food we all got was lovely but the trout I got was outstanding. Can't wait to go back for just that. Wait staff so nice. 5 stars all the way

We are a family of 8 & called in for dinner twice, once in the pub & then in the restaurant. The staff are so friendly & welcoming. The food on both occasions was amazing & great value for money. My son & son-in-law said it was the best Guineas they’d had in a while. We hope to return later in the year

We were in the area so called for a Guinness at lunchtime, I stood at the bar whilst 2 young ladies serving went about their business filling the ice bucket, writing on a pad restocking drinks and totally ignored me, then another customer came to...

We had dinner in this pub today. The staff were very friendly and the service was fab. ThIs is the second time my wife and I have eaten here. It never disappoints. Oh and the Guinness is top notch. We have tried different dishes on...

Not much appeared open in the village but Mary McBrides Pub and the village market. We enjoyed our lunch of a delicious steak & Guiness pie with roasted root veggies & chips. Also had a Caesar salad that was just average. Staff were friendly &...

I give a one star, because I drove to your pub to see the game of thrones door and you were closed. It was late afternoon during the week. The store across the street said business is slow in April, so you don’t open as...

This was honestly one of the worst pub food experiences we have ever had. We should have properly read and taken note of the reviews. Arrived on Sunday afternoon and were seated in a back room with zero atmosphere. Ordered food which arrived to table...

Bello, invitante, accogliente cibo ottimo, birre meravigliose...e poi il camino acceso, il jukeboxe,pulito, personale cordiale, avventori simpatici...non manca nulla. Raccomandato...

Atmospheric pub in the pretty little village of Cushendun, and a perfect stop for lunch along the spectacular Causeway Coastal Route. Their Loaded Fries are perfect with a pint of Guinness.

Was told by McBrides that we didn’t need to book but when we got there at 7, there were 16 people waiting for a table with the whole pub full . This happened again the week later and we had to settle for their pizzas...

Ordered the chowder here as it looked good on the next table. Really disappointed, scraggly fish and way too salty. The man who I had seen having it said exactly the same on the salt. Very poor and not cheap at £11. Lovely pub though.

Generally very good food although overpriced. The staff are lovely, very friendly and helpful. The scallop starter with the tostada was disappointing, very little flavour of scallops(chopped up scallops, not whole) overpowered by other Asian flavours. The monkfish cheeks were tough unfortunately overcooked. The main...

Had a great even meal here, quality never disappoints.. and is very reasonably priced. Staff were very accommodating as they were very busy, so advised we wait in the outside beer garden, which was a lovely spot, some local musicians playing outside added to the...

After going to the Cushendun Caves and walking on the beach, I was starving. So I went to this little pub. Food was delicious! Great service. There are 2 floors. On the first one there was the pub and then the bathrooms, one of which...

Loved this restaurant. Staff really welcoming and helpful. Great menu. Im vegan and the food was delicious. Usually end up having vegetables but wad able to have a curry starter and couscous for main. Others in group had steaks which they loved.

So disappointed! Service wasn't great to start with, we ordered 1 coke, 1 beer, a scampi dish and a starter portion of chowder. Server seemed a little abrupt but as we were sitting outside she could have been really busy inside and we were unaware....

Good pub food. We had the leek soup which was excellent although the wheaten bread was a little disappointing.

Rang ahead to ask if we needed to book a table for Sunday lunch and were advised no bookings are taken. Drove over hopefully anyway. We were lucky and secured an outside table on a lovely day with a view to the sea. We each had different dishes, including a special roast lamb, pasta and a burger. All were delicious and table service (due to Covid) was really friendly. Guinness was perfect too.Parking on the street close by is free as is access over the bridge to the caves seen in Game of Thrones (as we discovered later).

Very disappointed to find today that as a family of 6 we were unable to book a table and eat here while on holiday this week in cushendun..seems a bit strange that no tables for 6 available at all at this establishment..very poor service

This was our first visit and our first meal out since the lock down and we were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, service good and the food was delicious. The scallop starter was well cooked and tasty, the sea bass with the potato and prawn cake was a lovely main course. Nice menu, will definitely be back.

We were looking for somewhere for lunch whilst travelling from Portrush to Belfast and found this. Nicely kept dining area in an attractive small pub. Staff were welcoming and cheery.They didnt take bookings but we got there earlish for lunch, It is small and did get busy with, it seemed, locals later.Fairly traditional pub fare on the whole. Except the seafood chowder which was very good. There is a good value kids menu with the a la carte a little bit on the pricey side but not too bad.

We arrived on a twilight evening into the quite possibly most charming jewel of the glens, Cushendun. As the ducks paddled in the river and the gentle lapping Irish sea crowned with the distant sights of the Mull of Kintyre, my fellow diners were welcomed and shown to our table as we passed the regular patrons enjoying some craic after a hard worked week. The upstairs dining area was bright and friendly with good spacing.Starters of scallops superbly cooked, chicken wings and salad, followed with a delectable hake and seabass, steak and duck. All meals, engrossed the diners with superb flavours and delicate presentation. A true example of fine dining in the Glens and one to which we will be going back to again and again.Thank you to the kind staff for an evening of excellent service and a welcomed opening the lockdown.

Friends unearthed this little gem for us. A wonderful pub restaurant in the heart of a gorgeous coastal village. Great ambiance. Staff are very friendly.

Arrived on a Monday afternoon after Xmas with family. Really busy - couldn’t get a table but took some stools near the bar. Staff run off their feet. Food was good - but some small glitches. My wife ordered Caesar Salad with dressing on side - but it was all over salad when served. Seafood chowder advertised as smoked haddock and clams - didn’t find any clams but did find what seemed to be salmon. Still tasty. Teens had pasta, fish & chips and chicken stack. All devoured!Overall, very good - they just seem to struggle with crowds.

bit touristy but very interesting old pub. terrific veg soup with lovely local bread. nice village worth strolling around river and sea front

Mary McBrides is a fantastic place. Very warm and welcoming and the craic is unreal. Know for having the smallest bar (not sure if it’s British isles or all world). Very close to GoT’s locations and even has one of the seven GoT’s doors carved from the trees of the Dark Hedges. The restaurant upstairs (The little Black Door) serves beautifully cooked food.

Called in for early dinner, very busy but got seated after 5 mins. Friendly staff and good service. Had a pint of Guinness while waiting for my food.it was so nice I had to order another one for my dinner. Kids got the chicken wings for starters. Delicious, I went for the Cod and chunky chips and it was lovely. The kids also enjoyed the game of thrones door. So much detail. Great place definitely worth a visit. Back again soon

Absolutely the best seafood chowder I’ve ever had! Huge pieces of fish and very few potato fillers. Besides being gluten free, they also had gluten free bread to serve with it. So glad we stopped in for a quick bite! 

Lovely soup and toasted cheese sandwich which were welcome after almost fruitless search for somewhere to have lunch. Server not very welcoming though and place didn’t look open from the outside until we saw someone sitting inside. Never saw so many Guinness ads in my life. Place could be full of character and if full of people in the middle of the summer it probably is but could be so much more welcoming - if only by changing the colour on the walls and telling server to smile!Cushendun has huge potential but on a sunny day in October looked so sad and neglected and who gave permission for a modern 4 storey development which dominates the whole area? Thought this is a conservation area and yet the attractive old buildings in the village are neglected. Wouldn’t go back to the area even for the lovely soup. Such a pity as the village could be a huge draw for the entire area.

Tijdens stormachtige septembermiddag even een cappucino gedaan. Bleek bak slootwater te zijn. Interieur maakte overigens geen beste indruk. Slordige uitstraling waardoor hygiënevraag zich aandient. Gedurende 3-weeks verblijf in Ierland bleek dat alle bezochte horeca gelegenheden erg proper en sfeervol waren. Deze bleek echter een dissonant in dat rijtje. Jammer!De GoT deur? Forget it if you're not a freak.

Haciendo la ruta de juego de tronos acabamos en este bonito pueblo para ver la cueva y entramos en este pub pensando que ya no comerían por ser las tres, no solo comimos, si no que comimos muy bien, el local muy bonito y agradable y tiene una puerta dedicada a arya stark de la serie puedes solicitar un pàsaporte para ir sellando por los sitios que pasas de la serie con esa puerta.

Dinner upstairs in this lovely setting. Service excellent. Ambiance top line. 6 of us for dinner. Two had Salmon prawn curry chicken stack and a steak. All said that their meal was delicious. Would highly recommend this Small but lovely Resturant. Well worth the money.

We were here recently. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The steak and fish options were excellent. Really top class little restaurant

We had lunch one day in the pub and on another day we had meal upstairs on one of their weekly steak nights. The open sandwiches for our lunch were superb and so was the evening meal. The dinner menu was interesting and so were the dishes we had. We didn't have steaks, but virtually everyone else did have, and I can see why the place was so busy as the steak menus were remarkably well priced.

Never seen so much Guinness memorabilia!. Quaint pub, traditional pub menu including my favourite lunch dish - cup of soup and a sandwich (toasted or otherwise). First class Guinness as you would expect.

We visited for a late lunch on a Saturday. The pub was packed and all the tables were taken, but the staff asked if we were happy to wait a bit until a table became available.

Nice “Guinness” themed pub with fireplace and walls filled with old Guinness memorabilia. Recommended: pint of Guinness (of course!) and seafood chowder or beef and Guinness pie. Oh, and don’t forget the “door”!

One of the places where you can get food and drink, its a very small pub near the bridge, very quaint and with a newer feature which is one of the Game Of Thrones doors.

Comimos muy bien en este pub, especialmente la casserole de mariscos, de lo mejor que he comido en Irlanda del Norte. El estofado de ternera a la cerveza Guinness también estaba bueno. Precio ajustado y la mejor atención. Que más se puede pedir.

We stopped here as we were driving the Causeway Coastal Route. Great little pub with amazing food. Lots of heritage in the bar and beer garden. Staff were very friendly. Great location for a walk with lots of views. Would visit again.

After visiting the wee town of Cushendun, walking around and going to see the caves that were used for "Game of Thrones", we popped into Mary McBride's for a look at one of the GOT doors as well and sat down and had a Guiness. Lots of locals were there, having dinner. We didn't eat, but I thought the food looked quite good. I would definitely stop here if in the area for a true pub experience.

I didn’t eat here although the food looked great. I popped in a for a couple of pints and to watch a football match. I sat at the bar with some of the regulars and had a great time. The staff were very friendly, as were the locals. I had a very enjoyable evening.

Called in for a meal and was not impressed with either the food or the staff. The bar and restaurant were both nice inside but I won't be back.

Was a very small pub now extended. Serves drinks and food with musical evenings. Good pies and potatoes.

De todo nuestro viaje por Irlanda del norte fue el mejor sitio en el que comimos,con mucha diferencia, además de que el precio es muy similar al resto de establecimientos de la zona, totalmente recomendado

I did not eat at this place but can say I enjoyed the alcohol. Traditional pub in village by the sea. Looked popular with the locals.

We entered the bar to the left which turned out to be a snug. However the main bar was through an open doorway where two staff seen us and immediately turned there backs to us. Giving the benefit of the doubt we made our way through to the main bar and decided to take a seat. We were still being ignored as the 2 at the had still not acknowledged us and also 3 further staff had also walked past us. We decided to leave as we had never seen such appalling service. We drove a few miles to Cushendall were we went to Upstairs at Joes. Excellent service and food.

Stopped in for a coffee and a pint. Doing the GoT doors, not a bad little pub. Asked about the history of the pub name...nobody knew!

Traditional Irish pub, still with its classic features. Friendly staff and plenty to see for the Game of Thrones fan.

Very good spot for lunch. Nice place with a great atmosphere. Staff were very friendly. My steak sandwich was excellent! It was literally an entire steak on a bun. It was nice and tender, I just wish they trimmed the fat before they served it. Fries were good.

Auf Empfehlung unseres B&B; sind wir dort eingekehrt und haben ein gemütliches Restaurant in sehr schöner Lage vorgefunden.

Stopped for a bite of lunch. Had the steak which was fairly priced comparatively and extremely good. Staff were friendly. You won't find many pubs with a better atmosphere inside.

Nous avons bu un verre dans ce très joli pub typique et pris un excellent repas dans le restaurant à l'étage.

Stopped here on a wet and windy day while driving the Antrim coastal route. It was recommended by b&b; owner. Food was excellent, chowder and wheaten bread, probably the best steak sandwich I have ever eaten along with good pint of Guinness.

A friend who knows the area brought a group of us here and we were all very happy with the experience.

Lovely atmospheric bar, good selection of food. Well stocked bar. Popular on the Game of Thrones tour. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Discovered this pub when driving around the Antrim Coastline a few years ago. It's now become a firm favourite whenever we're visiting. Spent a few hours here having drinks then decided to stay for food. The Scampi was delicious as were the chicken goujons. Pub very busy as it was St Patrick's weekend but didn't have long to wait for our food. Staff always friendly too. Great atmosphere.

Went for a late Sunday lunch around 3pm with a group of friends. The bar was busy, but the friendly and accommodating staff found us a table quickly. Four of us had the Sunday Roast lunch, the other had a Guinness pie, all washed down with a perfect pint of Guinness, whilst listening to the live music from a local duo. Welcoming and warm, the food was tasty and the staff were amazing. Hope to visit again soon.

We went here for lunch and had a nice pub lunch! I had a burger and my partner had club sandwich. Both were lovely and it is a cosy warm establishment which had the fire going nicely although it was a bit warm and the staff let us move to another table away from the fire. All in all very nice and enjoyable!

Mary Mc Brides never disappoints. Ate at The Little Black door the restaurant upstairs one night with kids and the steaks were out of this would. The next night we ate in the bar and the food was great again the fire was lit and the staff were lovely. Could have stayed all night!

Beautiful food & great selection, steak was Amazing ❤️ & service was Excellent, thank u will definitely be back here, secret treasure & brilliant atmosphere. Thank you

My partner and I went for valentines, they had a lovely set menu with a vegan option. I had the mushroom bruschetta and it was gorgeous, followed by the hake which was amazing. Really enjoyed ourselves such a lovely vibe and great service.

A good historic pub serving good hearty food (ridiculous portion sizes) and a friendly atmosphere. We stopped off on our road trip as our friends wanted to see the caves from game of thrones. Had lunch and realised one of the game of thrones doors was in the pub! A great location and I would imagine heaving in the summer!

Just by chance...OMG..perfect chowder and Guinness..so yummy. Cushendun northwest Ireland on the scenic coastal route. A little gem north side of the bridge.

Stopped off here for lunch having seen the many positive reviews and wasn’t disappointed. We received a warm welcome and great service from the friendly staff. First excellent Guinness(es) of our trip to NI and fantastic Chowder to eat. All next to a roaring fire in the cosy bar adorned with vintage Guinness posters. A memorable visit, hopefully to be repeated one day.

Bel endroit, très typique. beau pub.

Stopped at this little town just to see what was here and found this cute pub. It was dinner time so we ordered the Friday fish fry and vegetable soup. This place seems quite popular with the local people, as we seemed to be the only ones from out of town. Food was very good and the prices are very reasonable. Great place to stop for a Guinness and more!

Visited the quaint little pub, Mary McBride's, during a stay in the area and were totally blown away by the Guinness and chowder. I have had quite a few pints of Guinness in my time and can confidently say it is up there among the best. The chowder is is so rich and creamy and full of fish, that it is almost a dinner on its own. The restaurant upstairs is a real find. The food is fantastic and the staff so friendly and helpful. If you want a flavour of the pubs of yesteryear, make a point of visiting. Oh, and the Game of Thrones door is an added bonus.

Just happened into M. McBrides for lunch after visiting the caves along the coast of Cushenden. Cute pub with lots of old Guinness paraphernalia but I had to write in about the fish chowder. I think it is possibly the best of the face of the planet! Just a bowl of perfect creaminess with chunks of salmon and cod and a little potato. I wish I had the recipe!

We drove into Cushendun in the early evening around 5pm long after the Game of Thrones Coach tours were heading onto their next destination to tick off on their listof been and done it places so apart from a few really friendly locals and bar staff we had the place to ourselves.

Mary McBride's has all the wonderful elements for the perfect afternoon or evening. If you want a casual lunch or pub meal with all the comforts of home but the quality of a great chef, you have found it. They also have fine dining upstairs in the evening as well in a very tastefully decorated dining room. This is my second time to Mary McBrides and Chushendun. I was happy to enjoy my current favorite beer from Belgium, Heaverlee!

We go here every year when we visit and the fish and chips can't be beat. The fish is so fresh. It's a nice stop when exploring the Antrim coast.

(This is a review of the "Little Black Door" restaurant part of Mary McBride's, currently open Thursday, Friday and Saturday only – no idea what the "pub grub" is like as we didn't really go into the bar area as it looked a bit "locals only").

We visited this restaurant twice during our stay near Cushendun and had lovely meals both times. The staff were very friendly and efficient, the only down-side is that it is not open every day

Very gorgeous setting. Nice meal served by lovely staff. Really nice wee vibe to the place too. Will definitely be back.

Lovely pub with excellent lunchtime food. The steak sandwich was definitely one of the best we have ever had. Efficient and friendly service and a perfect place to stop on a trip up the stunning Antrim Coast. And they have got one of the Game Of Thrones doors as well !

Just back from Mary McBrides. Had dinner there and wow! Never had such a tasty meal. We had the best chicken wings ever with a delicious blue cheese dip. Mains was even nicer. Very tasty and perfectly seasoned. The staff are absolutely lovely & friendly. The restaurant is cosy, clean and well decorated. The pub downstairs is old and quaint. We will definitely go back. Many thanks to all we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Karen & Frank

We recently stopped in Mary McBrides on a Friday evening and dined in their little black door restaurant.

Popped in to Mary McBrides for a drink on the tour of the North Coast. Warm friendly atmospheric bar. Would definitely return for a meal. Beautiful beach with outstanding view literally across the road.

Pub typique au RDC et restaurant cosy à l'étage. Les prix ne sont pas donnés (la concurrence n'est pas très rude autour) mais cela vaut le coup car c'est frais et délicieux (et meilleur que la plupart des restaurants irlandais)

Quaint and quirky little pub with great food and beer. We were only here briefly as part of a tour but enjoyed our time.

Had a lovely meal here with my 2 eight year olds. Chicken stack with a lovely pepper sauce. The kids loved their burger and chicken nuggets mad and beans....they said they would have liked more beans though, came in a small pot! I had glass of lovely wine, the glass was wet. I know that might put some of but didn’t really bother me. Fascinating to see door from game of thrones, entrance into toilets! Only reason I gave 4 stars because my daughter noticed a number of flies flying about and we sat by kitchen! However told my husband about their steak night on Thursday and he’s looking forward to sampling that!
