I don’t know if you could classify Bennigans as a pub but it does serve alcohol. The Bennigans i am refering to is at Mahon point shopping center. I have only been here once and it was for a meal. A few people i know have had a drink in here but it has been with food. I don’t think that its the kind of place that you would just go in for a drink. The food was fine but pricey. We were in a big group and had no complaints about the service or the food. There is a good choice of dishes available. It is a big restaurant/bar. The night we were there it was relatively quiet but i have passed a couple of times before and noticed that it was very busy. With the decor and layout you would think that you were somewhere in the states. I didn’t try a pint but if i have another meal there i may do so.
The toilets were clean when i saw them. They were just after being attended to. Bennigans is a place that i would head back to again for a bit to eat. They do a meal and cinema deal that seems like good value for money. If you do decide to have a few drinks here, remember that there is a lack of nightclubs in the shopping center!
Toilet rating: 8/10
Overall rating: 7/10
Final comment: I know that Bennigans is technically not a pub but it is worth checking out for a bite to eat following a stressful day of shopping!
Do you realise that you can’t order a drink in there without getting food too? So you get an order of chicken wings starters and it costs 8 euro. The service is good, but it is nowhere near the American equivalent. I hate the place, I would only go there for the dinner movie deal they have.
Discovered that too recently myself. Was going into the cinema and fancied a drink beforehand to kill some time. I believe it says ‘pub’ outside it so we wandered in, only to be ushered back out as we didn’t wish to buy any food. Blatant false advertising if you ask me…
