7. Station Bar
Reviewed By letterkennycaint
Larne seems like a nice town, but it lacks good bars. I walked all over, but could not find one decent joint. Frustrated, and heading back to the train station, I asked a local (he was walking a dog) to recommend one, and that's how I ended up here. It reminds me of working class bars in Dublin, and not at all what you'd expect from a station bar. The staff and customers were all solid, down to earth people, and they all seemed to know one another, and judging by the Celtic jersey on display, probably big football fans. There's a pool table and juke box, and a small stage, so I'd imagine the place is hopping at weekends. I felt very welcome, and would have no hesitation returning, actually will look forward to it.

Friends and I booked a table at Billy Andyâs this weekend but we heard that the bar restaurant also had live traditional music on Saturday afternoons so we came early to experience a live session. The music was simply amazing. Musicians drifted in with their instruments all afternoon with their fiddles, penny whistles, banjos, harps, bodhráns and even uilleann pipes. We sat at the bar all afternoon soaking-up the great tunes, songs and atmosphere until our table in the restaurant was ready. Even at dinner the distant music from the bar added to the evening. The food was stunning, just faultless. Again the service was perfect, the restaurant manager and our waitress Sharon looked after our every need. I God-willing, I will definitely return to Billy Andyâs. We all had such a great day. Attention all other bar owners - A much-needed research field-trip to Billy Andyâs is needed. Go and see how a county pub restaurant should be run.

We made a big mistake ordering starters AND a main course today as both were very generous serves! Service was friendly and fast and our lunch (piri piri chicken wings and nachos for starters, fish and chips and chicken escallop with champ and pepper sauce) we really good. Price including a pint was very reasonable too.

Rubyâs has come on leaps and bounds recently. Just outside the town centre of Larne, there is plenty of parking. They are adding more and more deals during the week and they are great value. They now have a âBeat the Clockâ menu and a BOGOF offer from 12pm to 5pm. Food is great and good quality. Only improvement I would suggest is the entrance to the bar passes the toilets and there is a slight odour. But in the bar and restaurant area everything is CLEAN and tidy and thatâs what matters most. Well done Rubyâs you are doing well!
3. The New Fairways Restaurant
Reviewed By HabLeaf
The new chef at Cairndhu has transformed the restaurant and both the service and food are excellent. Particularly good is the fish and chips. Though I am not usually a curry eater both the prawn curry and the chicken curry are very tasty, and their golfer's fry is spot on. Nice to see great views and nice surroundings being matched by the food.It is particularly good value compared to non golf club food.

We had dinner and breakfast here. Dinner was in a busy, fully booked dining room with a sea view; breakfast was served in a lonely, dark back room whereas sea view tables were empty - we were the only overnight guests.

Mattieâs Meeting House is a local hang out just a short stroll up the road from Ballycairn House. We were lucky to get a reservation, as it was almost fully booked. We spent an unforgettable evening at the warm, traditional country pub. My husband and I quenched our thirst after a long day of adventuring with pints of Guinness and Magners, enjoyed Mattieâs mouthwatering Guinness Pie, and sang along with the talented local musicians who played the guitar, banjo, fiddle, recorder, and piccolo and accepted requests all evening. They were extremely friendly to our children who stayed up far after their bedtime enjoying the live music. It was so amazing that we returned the following night, and by that time we were old friends!
