Christy's — Restaurant in The Municipal District of Arklow

Update: Christy's has new owners who have completely revamped the entire property. I enjoyed it before, but it is now next-level. Everything is new and modernised. The chef is highly rated and the food is, to be honest, the nicest food that we have experienced so far in Ireland (we have been eating-out 3 times per week (at least) for 4 years around Ireland). So, the food is great, the staff is great, parking is plentiful and the venue is clean and modern. There is a huge covered beer garned at the back and a brand new disco upstairs. Well done to Laine and John and their staff. Dave is still awesome.

I was so pleasantly surprised. When you enter the door, it's a whole new world. The staff are friendly, the vibe is upbeat, the food is great, and the setting is modern. The ladies who helped us were all efficient and knew their product. "Dave" was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Thanks to the owner for placing such a nice place in Arklow and thanks to the staff for great food and a friendly vibe. We will be back. Wade *SK...

Under new management and ownership. So we were intrested to see how it all paired out. Food and decor wise. We arrived into lounge roughly 630 pm sat evening to busy lively lounge. First impression was good and lively. But that's it !! we asked for a table, none available so we opted for bar 🍸. Plenty of staff which makes a pleasant change.

Bar was loud, noisy and packed. We managed to get a table ok. But it was v dark to say the least. I'm all for atmosphere and ambience, but when I counted 7 large TV screens in bar all showing different sports but yet I couldn't read the menu as it was so dark. We both had to use our ph flashligh to read it. Strike 1,

Menu was boring, v limited, outdated and v pricey, to be honest little or no imagination went into food. If i recall there were approx 4 items on the bk for kids menu, nothing exciting there either if anything food was a huge let down overall. especially for somewhere new, I understand all places have teething problems to start and what you got. Well now pics speak for...
