The Railway Bar in Newtownabbey

I've been here before and it was honestly amazing, so I was shocked when I passed here today and saw.. it was all burnt to the ground and completely destroyed! The criminal who caused this should be ashamed of themselves for committing such acts. Let's hope that this business will rise from the ashes once again (I think it'll be rebuilt sometime soon) and that full support goes to the owners of this wonderful business.

The wider community here support you and your business. May you come back strongly - with a strength that the cowardly thuggish few cannot achieve or comprehend.

The whole experience was 10 out of 10. The service was fantastic, the martinis were lovely and my husband said his Guinness couldn't have been better. The food was absolutely delicious, all 5 of us ordered different dinners and we all loved our meals.

One of the best Baltis I've had here, the wifes chicken curry was also outstanding. having ate a few times here everything has been exceptional with a price that wont bust your wallet. Guinness is great too, which may not sound much but not everywhere can do a good pint of the black stuff. Great wee bar, nice restaurant, staff are on the ball and the atmosphere is top drawer.

Have eaten here a few times over the past few weeks and it has always been excellent. Last night I had the duck croquettes and garlic & chilli chicken with pilau rice, it was delicious. Excellent service too.

A pleasant surprise. Food was lovely, hot and well presented. Proper nice coffee. Restaurant spotless and attractive inside. Kids enjoyed the play area outside. Lots of parking. Will definitely be back to try again. Not cheap but not expensive either.

Lovely setting and fantastic food. Staff very friendly with excellent service, I highly recommend and will be back!!

Nicely done up and lovely staff. The food was good too.

Love this place cosy as hell, super friendly. Great pints and prices. Pool table and jukebox available. Get the food into you too great value and excellent excellent quality

We had a great meal for four. The service was fantastic, the staff are so polite and courteous a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect evening meal.

Excellent food reasonably priced and staff very pleasant and helpful, highly recommended 👌

Beautiful restaurant, clean and tidy, the manager is really friendly and very professional, I recommend the very tasty pork belly. We will be back soon.

Very tasty food, friendly staff.

Great bar for some craic with friendly service

Food was amazing staff was awesome prices was great deffently be back

Food is outstanding, chef really is Michelin* quality. best meal in a long time. Do not understand why so few diners! Such a great restaurant on our doorstep - with parking outside!! Pity not more people there!!

Stopped in here on a recommendation and I must say the food is brilliant. I got the seafood linguine and it was delicious. My wife loved the Chicken Stack and the children were very happy with their food. Plates cleared!

Classy decor. Lovely vibe. Very kind and attentive service.

Very small and limited menu poor service

Colin is great fun had the best time at this bar lovely place

Had lunch and a few pints of cider on a Saturday afternoon. Football on the tv which kept us staying a couple of drinks more than intended. Food was lovely and filling. Waiting staff and bar staff very friendly and efficient. First time but will definitely be back.

Cosy wee country pub with great atmosphere and friendly staff where everyone knows each other.

Quelle soirée ! Elle a commencé par une recherche du restaurant le plus près de notre logement sur internet, c'est comme ça que nous avons trouvé The Railway Bar. Nous avons ainsi débuté notre soirée par un repas dans la partie restaurant. La nourriture était très bonne et bien servie! Le serveur nous a fait part de à sa surprise de voir des touristes dans son restaurant. Il a beaucoup discuté avec nous et était éminemment sympathique. Après le repas, nous avons décidé d'aller boire un verre dans le bar jouxtant le restaurant. L'ambiance musicale et festive était au rendez-vous ! Nous avons été accueilli à bras ouvert (au sens propre, comme au sens figuré) par une bande de joyeux Nord-Irlandais, qui semblaient très heureux (et surpris) de nous voir ! Super endroit, superbe ambiance, je recommande vivement !

Surprised that this restaurant was extremely quiet on a Sunday evening

Food was beautiful and cooked perfect. Served by a very pleasant and friendly gent. 10/10

Went a few weeks ago, service and food was so disappointing, definitely won't be back again.

Sunday roast dinner was so good 😋

Staff excellent, food superb, regulars very welcoming. Great night! Thanks!

Great place for Saturday & Sunday lunch. Great seafood specials and fantastic service.

WOW !! Gordon Ramsay u would be proud !!! Yummy yummy food . What a difference in this place !! Bravo to the chef as we were told he was under pressure as short staff. Top class food. What a transformation this place has had. Bravo 🎉👌👏

All been done up. Brilliant craic. 👏

Beautiful meal. Food was fresh and flavoursome. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly.

Maloneys has changed hands & is now called The Railway Bar .

First time here and it's was absolutely lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and very reasonable priced. Hope to get back as soon as we can

Very noisy.Impossible to have a conversation due to some very loud customers. Suppose they were just full of xmas spirit.

Lovely meal with the family. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere and food.

The new owners have done an amazing job with this place. A wonderful Christmas dinner with great atmosphere.

Amazing evening.Amazing Food👍👍👍 🍹🍸

Food here is unreal especially the seafood linguine. The staff are so pleasant and value for me money .

Nice place food was excellent could not fault the place

We came for the Halt Tapas night and were left really disappointed. Chicken wings were tasteless, goats cheese fritters were cold and everything else looked and tasted like it had been brought in and not homemade. We’d have been better off spending our money on an M&S meal deal at home! Lady who was serving us was lovely, so friendly and welcoming.

Sun roast would t miss it love love love

My wife and and I went out for an anniversary lunch. We had the stacked chicken and the daily special of a surf and turf. Not just sreak and king prawns but mussels and lobster. We don't eat out often so this dish was a splash and I'm a little fussy about my steak but I can't complement the chef any more. It was the perfect steak well seasoned perfectly cooked and balanced perfectly with the seafood. I've not had better even from steak houses. Not only that but my wife's meal had perfectly cooked chicken smooth mash and a lovely pepper sauce. Given the World we live in now. People want value for money but even at this price point it well worth spashing out because I felt it was a bargain for what we paid given the quality of the food. Oh flip, I've not mentioned the staff! They were amazing friendly, helpful and made this a extremely nice, escape from the kids, meal out.

The menu stated sirloin wit shallots and wine jus n chips came out burnt with frozen skinny chips n two soggy onion rings n a tomato slipped on top off off a oil soaked mushroom.. I hate pepper sauce..... surf n turf was fired on the plate ....pathetic first n absolute last..

Went to Maloneys today, food was amazing had Chilly Beef to start and pan-fried Hake as a main, would recommend highly. Food excellent and staff can't do enough to make your experience a positive one.

Excellent quality food. Will definitely be back

Top quality food at average prices. Great value for money, the sea food is to die for!

First time today for lunch in the Halt at Maloney’s and was really impressed. Nice surroundings and friendly helpful waitress. Service was excellent, great varied menu to suit any taste and first class, delicious well presented food with good portions. We’ll definitely be back again and would certainly recommend!

Excellent food and service. Everything was so delicious this slice pizza was the only thing left!

Nice meal,bit dear for the amount but not bad.

Brilliant meal and I’m stuffed…

Very impressed with Maloneys. Went here after my friend's funeral. The food was fabulous. Great staff.

In for lunch today...gorgeous...food and service 1st class...definitely recommend and will be back soon

Fantastic bar. Unfortunately didn't get to eat but the food looked great and heard they have a brilliant chef. Friendly staff, good wee sense of local community about the place, great pints and definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic value for money on the Sunday lunch. Food was great. Will definitely be back. Updated.back again last Sunday for lunch.great friendly service and fab food.

We called in passing ; had been a while back . Again food was excellent as was the service & the atmosphere. Highly recommended for a cosy evening over great food . Even the background music was great.👌

Here now having a meal food stunning service just amazing be back again everything was just amazing 😁

We were greeted at the door to check our covid passport , shown to our table by a remarkably pleasant young man who then came back to take our drinks order while we looked over the menu. The drinks came and we ordered our food. The meal was absolutely fantastic and plentiful for everyone. The staff could not do enough for us and we promised to be back very soon. This place is well worth dining out and you should all give it a try..👍👍👍

Beautiful family meal served by super cool staff, First Class all round.

called into the halt restaurant at Malonys to night for an off the cuff meal. haven’t been in over ten years. have to say we were very pleasantly surprised. i had one of the specials the tai seafood curry. it was amazingly tasty. my partner had the seafood linguine also off the specials menu and again it was faultless. we will defiantly be back.

Food and service was excellent. I will definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Food was excellent great service. 👍

Food was ok, service was ok, music was less ambience and more noise, far too loud for me and not my thing, an orchestra playing xmas songs, dont get me wrong the xmas music im ok with but not the orchestra, far too loud.

Friendly staff and great food they accomodated dietary special needs e.g vegan and coaliac in our funeral party would fully recommend eating there.

Fabulous food and fantastic staff!! The chef is amazing and I had the best chicken with salt and chilli chicken that wasn’t on the menu but the fantastic chef sorted it. Looking forward to going back !!

Great place to share very good food with friends 😀.

Food and staff lovely it's more of a seafood menu which I don't like but I had crispy beef which was yummy

Excellent food and service, compliments to the brilliant chef I'll be back

Went for meal tonight and was really impressed with the food. We were served by a lovely helpful lady Mags who was able to explain what the seafood special was like for our main. The food and service was excellent and I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent meal and service very reasonable price would recommend it

1st time there food was great two of us had steaks that were done exactly to our liking all other dishes were very tasty drinks were fine and for the money great value.

Food was reasonable, slightly overpriced for the portions. Pleasant staff but little atmosphere

Great place held dad's funeral food for guest service good nice people

Unplanned visit. Excellent varied menu. Had the special of that day .... Thai seafood red curry. Beautiful flavour. Right balance of salt, sour, sweet, hot. Also nice surprise of an oyster in the midst of the bowl if flavour. Friendly staff & good service. I'll be back.

First time there food very good

Great atmosphere, staff are friendly & the food is excellent
