O'Connors Bar

Battered Cod (fish and chips) was terrible. The batter and fish had a terrible rubbery/soggy texture and made my daughter feel ill. When we asked if this was how it should be, we were told yes. If you want the batter crispy you have to ask. No where else in the UK do you get soft/chewy batter. They should probably warn their patrons or at least offer “soft or crispy batter.” I don’t think this is really normal - what we feel happened was it sat under the heat lamp waiting for other food and condensation from sitting on the hot chips and the fish itself made an already softer batter soggy and inedible. The Crab legs were bland and the presentation terrible. Everything else was only “ok.” Unfortunately, not somewhere we would return.

The chowder (£14) was absolutely amazing, loaded with so much seafood and a lovely creamy broth. It was absolutely delightful and the best seafood chowder that I've had, can't reccomend it enough. The hot seafood platter (£23) was great too, the crab claws were big and meaty. Best meal on my ballycastle trip.

I ordered the hot seafood platter and was pretty satisfied. However, one of my fellow eaters ordered the seafood linguine. There was way too much oil in on the plate. He told the waitress and she obviously did not appreciate the complaint. For the rest of the evening any form of politeness was gone. This is not how a constructive complaint should be handled. We were ignored and did not get further orders.

This little pub had a great atmosphere, great beer and great food. Was super happy to find this place. Servers were super friendly.

Great food and place to watch the soccer game! The food was delicious. There was a seafood chowder that was loaded with good stuff and so good. Seafood pasta and double burger were both in point as well. Easy walking distance on the main road in town.

Really enjoyed our meal tonight. Food was really good, beer was excellent and service was just superb .Only two staff on but wow were they impressive . Unflustered and professional. Got to say they were exceptional. I hope the management realise how lucky they are to have these two . Will definitely be back again

We pretty much stumbled upon O'Connor's bar walking down Ann St while on our tour of Northern Ireland's coastal route and decided to pop in for a quick refueling". I have to say we are all very positively surprised to have found this wee gem. I ordered a potato and leek soup which was lovely

Wonderful Sunday lunch - winner, winner, chicken dinner. Great amount of veg, gravy, potatoes (roast and mash) and lovely bacon wrapped, sage and onion stuffed chicken. Add a reasonably priced, tasty glass of Pinot Grigio and finish with an Irish coffee made by Coleen.... perfect.There's a lovely fire in the stoves (front and back bar), a game (football, ruby, GAA, etc) in the TV and really friendly, helpful staff. Lovely.

Was recommended to eat here by a local on the street. absolutely massive crab claws and excellent variety of foods and drinks for everyone. well priced menu. seems like a solid place to have drinks as well in Ballycastle.
