The Point Bar and Restaurant in Limavady

Poor Steak badly cooked Fish overdone and dry Everything seemed too much bother for staff

Beautiful food lots too choose from. Friendly, welcoming staff

Perfect detour when on the north coast or driving to Derry. Open fire, perfect Guinness, lovely menu and great service. Friendly spot and absolutely lovely food.

Lovely little spot. Came here for lunch and was not disappointed. Food was well presented and full of flavour. Great price quality ratio. Service was great too, everyone really friendly. Can’t recommend enough.

Good drinks and nice food, nice atmosphere.

Great food and atmosphere. Busy Sunday but everything was great

Great food, staff very professional know their stuff. Lovely location great beach view 😀 👌 👍

Hidden Gem We went to visit the Milligan's Point & found this lovely pub Went in for a cuppa & loo visit Full of folk enjoying themselves, all friendly Smelt the delicious food & stayed for lunch of pan fried haddock with leek sauce Absolutely delicious Service was excellent, lovely & friendly people serving on Well worth a visit after a lovely walk along the dunes & seashore

A great random find. Will call again when I'm in Limavady👍

Good food , helpful staff . First time I've been , but won't be the last . Thanks ❤️

Delicious food, friendly and funny staff, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at this establishment.

Top spot. Great Guinness. Great pub food. Amazing location.

Food terrible- kids cheesy pasta was a bowl of pasta dipped in a puddle of powdery cheesy sauce. My kid who eats nothing but pasta took one spoonful and was nearly sick. I had the steak ciabatta and sweet chilli chips- steak grizzly and half the chips were hard and inedible. My wife’s sea bass dish was ok to be fair albeit a bit bland. I’ve heard the Guinness is good but it ain’t going to win any awards for it’s food based on this experience which is unfortunate because it is a nice location.

Special place with great food and service, plus a traditional atmosphere without being intimidating.

Great meal for our family, mixed ages, all very happy with food and service.

Excellent pub and restaurant. Dogs are very welcome and are spoiled by the lovely staff. Food and drink first class.

Quality food in a very busy environment. Staff were very attentive and pleasant

Lovely spot, staff were so friendly and welcoming...

Got food poisoning from the food here.

Great food, fantastic atmosphere and gorgeous views of the bay Staff is really friendly and service is superb Great Guinness

The staff at "The Point Bar"were so friendly, attentive and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome, especially my 94 year old mum. The food is locally sourced. We ordered the recommendation for the day, which was fresh local fish plus other especially chosen meat dishes. It did not disappoint. Beautifully cooked, delicious lemon sole and pan fried salmon for my mum, plus a helping of the best flavoured chips I have tasted since my month long stay in Northern Ireland. The decor inside the bar is traditionally irish, with a gorgeous fire place as you walk in. The food was reasonably priced and the service was great. The Guinness was worth ordering too! A return visit is on the cards.

We were a family of 5 for dinner, off peak on a Wednesday. It took an hour to get the food on the table - not very family friendly when there’s a 2 year-old wanting fed. The children’s menu was the usual boring goujons etc. Ambience more pub/like than restaurant. Then the price!!! Far too expensive for what you get!

Service was terrible. When we got the starter and main I had to go up to the bar to request cutlery and napkins as we weren't given any. Waited 45 minutes for main with empty glasses and no one asked if we wanted more drinks. Cheesy garlic bread was soggy. Flies in the vinegar.

Great food, very tasty and a decent selection for vegetarians.

After walking on the beach on a beautiful sunny day in June which is hard to credit my wife and I decided to try lunch and we were not disappointed, with proper service, spectacular views across lough Foyle and a mighty fine burger and chips. Good menu selection and portion sizes along with a very reasonable price we shall return.

Never in all the years making that a dinner stop have I never been disappointed with the meal or the service i would highly recommend it to anyone and the prices were very good 👍

Nice food, bit slow but otherwise good.

Four of us had lovely meal and desserts

Called in with family for sunday lunch. Food was lovely, however we were disappointed with the service because when my wife was ordering turkey and ham, she had asked the waitress if she could have chips instead of mash. I was fuming with her reaction to this request as she rolled her eyes and tried to make us buy chips as an extra side, this made us feel very awkward. It seemed like the waitress (big stoutish woman) was one of the managers which made it more surprising. Its such a shame because the food was lovely and we wanted dessert but for obvious reasons we just paid and left. We got ice cream in portrush instead 👍

They didn't really have vegan options but they did something simple and great. Cooked vegan, salad and bean-burger.

Smashin place, Hilda really looked after us all very well

A wet June Evening Even on a wet evening in June, sitting looking out over Lough Foyle at Greencastle and the Donegal Hills. This must be one of the nicest dining experiences in Northern Ireland. Great food, enticing atmosphere and attentive staff, will keep us returning again and again.

A great bar and restaurant in a superb location. Worth driving to the Gortmore viewpoint high above the Point first to really build the anticipation.

One of our favourite places after a beach walk. Such a beautiful calming relaxing atmosphere.

Absolutely love this place, great food, fantastic beach and ferry near by, you couldn't complain about that ....

Had a lovely pint of Guinness while passing though waiting for the ferry. Friendly staff nice and clean with great views

Seafood chowder here was perfect. Staff were very friendly & efficient. Angela was fantastic. Looked after us all very well.

Good service efficient great food

My review is somewhat different. I parked my motorhome outside, got out it, & managed to lock myself out with the keys in the ignition. Went into the restaurant & explained my problem. What a reaction, everyone, customers and staff immediately got involved, people ringing locksmiths etc. One of the staff climbed up on the roof, managed to open an impossibly small skylight & then unscrewed it, removed it, & climbed in! the hole was extremely small. He got my keys out of the ignition, returned them to me & then refitted the skylight; amazing. He wouldn't accept any reward from me for all his efforts on my behalf. All I can say, once again, thank you very much for what you did for me. The reaction of all of the staff & customers was amazing & I am humbled by the experience. I won't forget my visit to the Point Bar in Magilligan for a long time. Derek Moffitt. We called again today 10 May 2024 & had a meal, very enjoyable. We were served by Johnny, the chap who helped us out with our motorhome. Thanks very much once again. Pearl & Derek.

Super tasty dishes, mainly fish dishes. Highly recommended. Star deduction only because the restaurant is full. But they made an absolute effort and were super friendly. Very good value for money. Top!!! 😃👍

Very nice place to eat.. and food was full of flavour.

We called ahead for a booking and they asked us to come a little later. The place was packed when we got there and it sounded like some people at the bar wanted a table but weren't able to get one. The atmosphere at the bar was cozy with the fireplace. You could tell they were short-staffed as things took awhile. They have daily specials available and the portions are pretty big. Most of the food was average, but the side of mushrooms was delicious! They're right on the water, but unfortunately cars park between the restaurant and the water, so there isn't a great view from inside.

Beautiful view of NW Northern Ireland from a cozy restaurant/bar. Appetizers we ordered were excellent. Service was good and very friendly. Will definitely go there again when we visit Ireland again.

This is a gem of a pub-restaurant right at the ferry terminal on Magilligan Point. We had delicious meals of fresh fish, Guinness pie, lasagne and Philly steak. Fresh ingredients, flavoursome, generous portions. The decor is Irish pub style and authentic at that. The staff are friendly and chatty and really kind to dogs (there's a small area with a few tables where dogs are allowed). Stunning view from the pub on to Lough Foyle. It's not cheap but it's good value - we left full and content.

Had a steak, was offered pepper sauce with it, which unfortunately I took as it was the spiciest sauce I've ever eaten, had to scrape it off the meat and it was still too spicy. Girlfriend who likes a little spice had the chicken stir fry which was even too spicy for her. When I said to the staff, they were rather dismissive of it, and for a total bill of about £65 was very disappointing. I for one won't be back again.

Beautiful meal, so much seafood in dish really tasty. Staff brilliant

Popped in and booked a table earlier in the day. When we went back to eat no table had been reserved and we were given the most uncomfortable table in the dining area. The poor lad who served us was so nervous he could not take our order. This is a family pub so expect children to be running around. The food was okay, while there was plenty of it, the fish and chips were soggy and the mushy peas looked like dishwater. The veggie options were not the same as shown on the website, nor were the prices. Average throughout, I would have given more stars for the service if I thought they had reserved a table for us as promised

Fantastic staff tea coffee and cake

Great early bird menu. Warm fire burning 🔥

Great we spot for bite to eat just check it's open before travelling to it

Went here for a Sunday lunch with our golden retriever 1 year old. It was our first attempt to do this and went much better than expected. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the food was good. We both and chicken dishes, the portions were plentiful. Alfie barked 4 times when others dogs arrived. Thankfully it was a single bark each time and we were able to enjoy our meal. Next time I’ll attempt the seafood chowder. Ps if going with a dog you need to book as there are limited spaces

Great food and staff very friendly 👌 Guinness pie 🥧 😋

I really like this place, nice service, good food

A family celebration for a birthday and a wonderful time was had by all

We have ate at the point bar quite a few times over the past year and have yet to be disappointed, food always good , staff very helpful and friendly, and it’s also dog friendly in the front bar and food is reasonably priced!

We had an amazing night for our xmas nite out with the drenagh staff happy Christmas everyone

The point is such a nice place to go to. This is where my friends and I met for Lunch last Friday and I must say it was a really lovely experience. The staff were so helpful and friendly and made us feel most welcome. The food did not disappoint, it was well presented and very tasty and plenty of it. We have been here a few times and meant to write a review previous to this as we felt it deserves recognition for the excellent experiences we have had. A special mention to Joanna, Connor & the chef who personally delivered one of our desserts.

Fabulous food, attentive staff lovely atmosphere.

Love every visit here. Food always stunning, staff friendly and welcoming and just all around homely and cost environment 10/10 would recommend

Perfect place for relaxed intimate or family occasion.

Had a really good meal, steak was exceptional, Guinness was excellent. The service could have been a little better, but it was quite late on a Sunday evening, it was good of them to take the booking. It's little things, like the pepper sauce arriving 5 minutes after the steaks and we ordered a second pint of Guinness which never appeared. Nothing major but it spoiled an otherwise perfect meal.

Beautiful fish with an exceptional large pavlova. Tasty tasty

Always reliable! A good meal, good service, and always buzzing.

Excellent service and excellent food

Husband had the steak ciabatta and he said it was one of the best steaks he’s ever had. It was very juicy and soft. Lovely.

Great dog friendly spot. Lovely staff and fab location

Not great visit felt like it was lacking something

Love this place. Been a few times now and have always had a great service. Disabled parking and toilet available. Lovely welcoming open fire is as warm as the staff. Food is great and if there is something in the meal you want or don't want just inform the staff when ordering. Great selection of food and drink available. Will be back again soon. When you are there there is a nice beach walk beside them with beautiful views well worth a visit. Enjoy

Outstanding food.. generous portions. Its rare I don't clear my plate.. today I couldn't finish my food.. great staff in a lovely area.

Clean comfortable with a great view. Food was very good and great value. Service was a bit slow but they were busy and the staff were still good humoured and helpful. Would certainly go back.

Gorgeous food we did not book a table but the staff were very welcoming and sorted us out ASAP, busy time.

Lovely spot to grab a drink or a meal. It's close to the ferry so handy to grab a coffee while you wait. Friendly staff and quick service.

We were waiting on the ferry back to Greencastle place looked good To be fair the guy that seated us was very friendly and seated us straight away but the girl who took the orders was less than friendly Even managed to take wrong order's The food was ok we've had worse but if i was to offer advice if catching the ferry go to Greencastle and dine at the castle Inn

One of my favourite restaurants. Really relaxed, family orientated and excellent quality food. Can be busy over the summer with the ferry coming over. Love it in the winter when the fire is blazing to enjoy an Irish Coffee after dinner. Large menu to choose from, never had a bad meal and we eat here alot.

Very nice sat outside with dogs for dinner

Unfriendly staff, felt like we were bothering them. Long long wait to get ordered then another long wait for the dinner to arrive. Food was really poor, dry, bland. I could go on here... Anyway wouldn't recommend and I'd go as far to say you should avoid it. Really poor food, toilets filthy also. Some of the take aways In Limavady are better.

English food that you can enjoy. We only ate dishes from the daily menu. Everything was cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. Unusually good for English food and that at the end of the world.

Really lovely dinner and arranged at very short notice. We had the dog with us so ate in the bar (about four tables available for that). Restaurant was crowded, boisterous and the atmosphere was great. Even in the cold weather (July !!!) there were diners willing to eat outside. Good, varied menu and attentive service. A real find, with good walks from the door.

Decent pub grub and beautiful views.

While on a touring holiday our B&B host recommended the Point, we arrived mid evening without a reservation, the food hygiene rating was 3 out of 5, we would not normally eat in such a place. Many expensive cars in the car park so we went in. We were found a table after a couple of minutes, the place was busy, the food being served looked good. Drinks arrived quickly, followed by the main course, all looked well except the side dish of potatoes didn’t arrive. We had to ask for them! My wife enjoyed her goats cheese and portobello mushroom meal, I however did not enjoy my ribeye steak from the special of the day board. Every mouthful of meat had some hard or stringy bits in it that I was unable to chew properly, either leaving it on the plate or swallowing it if possible. The staff were very busy and were scruffily dressed and obviously untrained for the job at hand, nobody checked with us while eating. Maybe I should have complained, but after seeing the calibre of staff I decided to finish our meal and leave. Outside is the local ferry and some lovely views, but I cannot recommend this place for either food or service.

Finally got after many recommendations . Great food , great service and would highly recommend. 😊

Poor service. We waited an age for the table to be cleared and had to ask a waitress to do this having watched them ignore us for the best part of 30 minutes. The restaurant was not busy at the time. No specific desserts for children only smaller portions of the adult versions.

Great place to eat and have a beer would recommend 100% if you ever get the chance to go

Excellent, as always. The food was superb, and there was plenty of it. Staff very helpful. The Point Bar is worth a visit!

Folks, only giving this a one star as I want to share our experience. We are literally just out of the restaurant and we are appalled by the service. As we have been coming here for a while as we stay down here in summer months, we arrived today at a table booking for 15:30. We were brought down to our table (not asked did we want a drink) and sat for approx 15 minutes looking at a menu before being approached by a member of staff to take our order. After placing our order, we then sat for a further hour waiting and I decided to go and ask as the people beside us was wondering what was going on also. At this stage I had 2 drinks and I went to the manager and explained that I would pay the bill for the drinks and go elsewhere and I got an apology as one of the ‘new starts’ misplaced our order docket. So we ordered our food and the waitress that originally took our order came down and apologised and put the blame on someone else. At this stage I said don’t worry and I ordered another drink with her and she said don’t worry, I’ll get this drink for you. We were then approached by a waitress asking did we want desert, well a further 10/15 minutes past and still no menu left. When my other half went and asked for a desert menu she was told by the waitress ‘this isn’t your day is it’. We decided enough was enough and avoided desert and went to pay the bill and we were told one drink was being deducted for our troubles. Yes one pint. I paid the bill and spoke to the manager in the reception area and explained the situation as he was the one himself that said the rounds of drink prior to this would be excluded to be simply told, ‘I’m sorry about that’. More or less bye. The sickening thing is the food is good, however service is atrocious. My money can be spent elsewhere!!

My favourite is their unbeatable chowder .. Amazing!! Best chowder in the world ... and I have travelled. Staff were really friendly and helpful ... I will definitely be returning.

Ordered kids sausages and chips. Was given vinegar full of flies and child had already put all over her dinner, flies and all. Kids cheesy pasta was like rubber. Seafood chowder was the worst I’ve ever had with a consistency of porridge and tasteless with a few small flakes of salmon and 2 prawns, didn’t have a choice to change as they had no wheaten bread left so served it with burnt ciabatta without even asking. Steak was poor with limp old salad garnish, greasy chilli chips with too much chilli and chorizo sauce which was full of grease and too many big chunks for a sauce! Wont be back!

Everything in the place is lovely and food is very good,out side view of the south side of Ireland is stunning.service Great and price good

Lovely place situated right by lough Foyle looking over into Donegal. We booked in advance as we wanted to eat in the bar and we have two dogs The Point Bar is dog friendly. 2nd visit this year, my daughter had Salmon and prawns, with fries, my wife had chicken stack and skinny fries and I ordered the chilli beef pitta, salted chilli chips and a mixed salad. Honestly it was so tasty, my beef pitta was delicious, all three of us cleaned our plates. For all of that, plus 2 pints of 00 Guinness, 2 cokes, 2 x 250ml bottles of Chilean Sauvignon for £85. Staff very helpful, extremely friendly and polite. Def we will be back soon!

Beautiful views reasonably priced good food

We arrived on Saturday evening but hadn't booked. The manager was lovely and said he would do his best to get us a table as soon as possible. We only had to wait a few minutes. The food was lovely, and the atmosphere was cosy. Will definitely go back. Julie & Stephen.

Absolutely brilliant place food was great ,service was great ,and over all everything was first class and we will definitely will be back

Stopped for lunch at 12 o'clock before going over on the Lough Foyle ferry. Restaurant was chilly as it had just opened and raining outside. I did not realise there is a lunch menu as we were only given the full menu which is more pricey. However staff were pleasant and efficient; order came correctly, food was great and portions large! My chicken gougons were tender and nicely done and everyone enjoyed their meal. Happy to recommend and will definitely return.

Super good food, very good service, a little long but there are people that's normal and it's noisy so that's normal too

Point team never disappoints! Fabulous, friendly and efficient staff, kitchen team know what they're doing, food great. Busy as expected for the weekend but in this lovely setting with it's brilliant views, who cares! Keep er lit folks x

Best pint of Guiness I've had in a long time!

Great place. Beautiful scenery and nearby beach. Good grub, good Guinness and really polite staff. Great for a sunset over the mountains in the summer months. Ferry nearby to take you to and from Donegal.

Excellent food, great service. Even though they were very busy the wait for food was quick. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

We have eaten here before and food was always tasty in the past. Tonight pitta pocket was tough and stewed and chowder was far too thick and heavy. Such a disappointment on a beautiful evening!

Took the ferry over from Greencastle. Lovely meal. Just a little slow on service but we we’re not in a hurry.
