Griffin's Bar & Restaurant Castlemaine Reviews from The Last Year
The nastiest owner I have ever encountered in Ireland. Give this bar a wide berth.
I have been coming to Clifden since the 1980s. One of my favourite bars used to be Griffen's. I have many precious memories of experiences in this cosy bar with its wonderful live music. It was my late mother's favourite venue in Clifden and we were here for her last ever night out in 2018 (she died the following year). Alas, all of this has now been destroyed by the ignorant behaviour of the buffoon of an owner last night. We had come from Lowry's, and had just stepped into Griffons and ordered three drinks from the barman for myself, my wife and my daughter. The bully of an owner came out from behind a bar, walked up to me and said "You can't stand around here without ordering a drink. If you don't order, you need to leave." I was flummoxed by these antics, I showed him the fifty Euro in my hand and answered "What do you mean? I've already ordered drinks." With an ugly scowl on his face, instead of apologizing, he turned away and began to collect the empties from another table and he disappeared into the back. His sidekick, the barman saw what happened yet didn't intervene. I told him I felt very unwelcome and expected an apology. But none was forthcoming. We drank our drinks and then left, despite the wonderful live music (The Brennan Sisters). We headed over to Malarkeys where the craic was awesome and the staff friendly. It was the first night of our two weeks in Clifden. Tonight we'll be starting in Magrath's (watching the Switzerland-Germany football game - we are Swiss) and ending in Lowry's but I can guarantee that neither I nor anyone in my family (there are five of us here) will ever waste a minute in Griffons ever again. At least not when that owner is still alive. He is not fit to be in charge of a hospitality institution. I am absolutely disgusted and I intend to report his aggressive behaviour to Clifden town council when it opens tomorrow.
Singer was incredible! And on a Monday night!
Singer was totally brilliant! Even if he didn’t know a request he could just sing it brilliantly! AMAZING! So pleased we just happened upon this lovely traditional pub with lively people and fab music!!
Top Establishment
Another great weekend in Clifden and especially at Griffins bar. In for food, drinks and even a bit of sport. Dave and sll the staff excellent, very friendly and good crack. Come to Griffins every year im in Clifden and would highly recommend. The food is particularly good and great value.
Ignorant and abusive experience at Griffins . Clifden
Were recommended to come here to watch Ireland V Scotland six nations rugby . Have never encountered such an ignorant , abusive and rude manager/owner of a premises . Will never return or recommend this pub . Stay away . Ended up at Kings instead and had a great afternoon .
Genuine lively Irish pub experience.
Griffin’s Bar offers a genuine lively Irish pub experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and Dave and his staff are friendly and welcoming. Traditional Irish food, generous portions bursting with flavour. I had their special of the day. Bacon and cabbage. Delicious. With multi screens makes it a great place to watch sport. And they sometimes have live music. The pub can get lively, Just be prepared for a bit of good humored Irish banter – it’s all part of the fun!!
Can't believe people like this exist
The Owner (well i think was the owner) was really rude. Tried to sit by the fire and made it so that we couldn't sit by the fire by changing reserved signs around. But when locals came in, I made sure he moved reserved signs. I am from Galway city and I feel like we treat people with respect as I have never experienced this in Galway pubs ever
Hang with the locals
Griffins is the epitome of what you‘d expect from an Irish pub. David, the owner, runs a tight ship, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. A high percentage of locals among the patrons lend credibility to this institution of Clifden‘s nightlife. John, master of all taps and the soul of the place, is a true gentleman with a great sense of humor. If you’re under thirty and up for a tough night, this place may not be your favorite. But if you want to hang with the locals, enjoy a brew and - more often than not, keep an eye on the blackboard outside for announcements - listen to live music, you‘ll definitely be happy you came.
Griffin's Bar and Restaurant in Castlemaine, Kerry is a
Griffin's Bar and Restaurant in Castlemaine, Kerry is a delightful fusion of sports bar energy and old-fashioned Airbnb charm. The decor is a playful mix of sports bar and cozy vibes. The chicken curry offers a unique dance of savory flavors, more subdued than your typical Bollywood explosion. The chicken vol au vent with mushrooms is a pastry masterpiece, bathed in a symphony of delicious white gravy. This place is all about hush-hush relaxation, with servers who are local legends sharing Southern Ireland secrets. If you're looking for a laid-back feast and a taste adventure, Griffin's is the spot to savor. Happy eating Yelpers!
Well worth calling in.
Griffins is a lovely welcoming little bar in the centre of Clifden. Although it very much appeals to sports fans (especially rugby) it still has a cosy, homely feel to it. The food (cabbage and bacon, and seafood chowder) were excellent and the stout was in great order. I wasn't there for the music sessions but by all accounts they are not to be missed. Thanks to John and staff for everything, hope to return soon.
A visit to we will remember
Clifden holds a very special place in both mine and my husbands heart, as it did with his parents, we first visited Griffins bar as a 6 in 2019 with my in-laws, from Liverpool, we had a good drink and a laugh, we returned in Nov 2022 but this time to spread the ashes of my mother in law, on a beautiful little beach we stumbled across when visiting with her in 2019, was a very bittersweet trip. We got talking to the owner who was friendly, to the point but with good banter, told us a bit about himself and the history of Clifden, great service. When he heard of the reason for our visit, he actually offered to drive us to the small beach if we needed it the following day, a very kind offer indeed. Great bar, great service, great town.
Thank you thank you

Best Pub experience in Ireland!
Great pub! Visited two nights in a row for wonderful music and friendly conversation. Griffins is clearly respected amongst Irish musicians and many of the greats stop by to play. Also had lunch. Food was some of the best we had while traveling the Wild Atlantic Way. Entire staff was welcoming and helpful and really enjoyed meeting other customers from all over the globe! Read reviews about not welcoming children…it’s a pub, maybe leave your little darlings at home in bed at 10:00pm!
Great Griffin’s
We have visited Griffin’s before when in Clifden and once again enjoyed a good pint of Guinness. Whilst we didn’t eat, we definitely would, two separate tables of locals commented to the staff how good the bacon and cabbage was and how the chowder was the best in Clifden - high praise indeed. Friendly welcome, high praise for the food and a good pint of Guinness - that’s what a good Irish pub is all about.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
