Originally a Bond Store, (where dutiable items could be held without tax being paid until released for onward delivery) this complex still bears the name today: “The Old Bond Store”.
Access is via an archway from Dillon Terrace which leads into a small cobbled courtyard surrounded by a group of stone-faced commercial and residential units. The effect is such that you would not be surprised to find such a charming setting in the old streets of an Austrian or Swiss town or village.
And this is where you will find Dillons Bar and Restaurant, which literally oozes atmosphere and old world charm. Paul and his staff are tremendously warm, friendly and efficient and will serve you beautiful food from a menu of many choices. I, with various combinations of family, friends and visitors, have had many meals here over many years and all of those occasions hold wonderful memories for me. Dillons is the very first place I will be returning to when these strange, strange times we are living in return to something closer...
Read moreOn Sat 25th Nov 2023,my husband celebrated his 50th birthday in Dillions Bar&Restaurant Ballina. There was a total of 12 x people at the party, the tables was joined together which was grateful appreciated.
We arrived at 7pm, The restaurant & bar was extremely busy but there was no delay for ordering drinks. Table was booked for 730pm and we were seated on time. The 3x waiting staff were all very kind, caring, considerate, attentive and friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure our meals were delivered in a timely manner&also took time to liase with the chef regarding dietary requirements.
We ordered from the 3x course set menu. Each course tasted absolutely exceptional and beautifully presented. Very decent portion😊
Paul was very helpful, accommodating and took time to personally wish my husband a happy birthday.
Dillions Bar&Restaurant is a fantastic business&most definitely 5 star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 HIGHLY...
Read moreWe went there on a Tuesday (28/2/23) evening around 7ish and it was hopping. You have to get parking on the street as I didn't see a restaurant car park signed. We had to wait about 15mins, maybe, for a table but we didn't mind as the atmosphere was lovely, we were seated at the bar while we waited for a table, there was another couple of ahead of us for a table too. The hosts of the evening, a gentleman and a lady, were very attentive and ensured us that a table would be given as soon as one became available. We browsed the menus (below) while we waited. I got two strawberry mojitos throughout the evening, very delicious. We only got mains; chicken burger for myself and fish and chips for himself. Both were well presented and the portions were great. We were stuffed so couldn't go for desserts unfortunately but really enjoyed our time at Dillons. Will be back if we're ever in...
