The lounge bar on three levels with outside deck provides for 80 patrons in comfort. Food is available in the lounge and the sixty-inch plasma screen TV set into the wall is the ideal way to keep abreast of the news or watch that major sporting event.

Tucked into a side street in Rathmullan village, Martin Kelly and Monica Santos’ informal restaurant has real draw-you-in appeal from the road – and if that doesn’t work, their interesting menu will surely do the trick. A well balanced variety of Irish, European and South American dishes means that pondering over the menu may take a little longer than usual in order to make your menu choices but will also allow you more time to soak up the atmosphere in this friendly, bustling restaurant - Monica is Brazilian and has an obvious influence, not only on the food offered (which is unique in this region), but the unusual artwork on the walls.
