The Diamond Bar — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

My wife and I live in Ballycastle (a beautiful town) and go for something to eat quite regularly @ The Diamond Bar. Atmosphere is friendly, really nice open fire, plenty of seating in the bar area (where you can also sit and eat if you choose). Restaurant is in the back which is a quieter area, again plenty of tables and seating. We have never been disappointed when eating here, staff are always super friendly, serving time has always been good and most importantly...the food has always been great! My personal favourite - Chicken Stack with Pepper Sauce and my Wife's favourite is the Scampi.

We took my Father there for a meal on his 81st Birthday and he loved it, we also took a friend there who visited from England and he said his burger was the best he had ever had.

There is variety on the menu, but the taste was not great and we couldn’t finish much of what we ordered. Overall, it was a noisy, impersonal experience with poor service and disappointing food. Ballycastle has better options — we wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxed and enjoyable...

Incredible Irish Food & Kind Staff I've been staying in Ballycastle on holiday for over a month now, and The Diamond Bar + Steaks & Cakes is hands down my favorite place in town to eat and grab a drink! I've never eaten a meal there that wasn't delicious, with some of my favorites being the Steak Sandwich, Steak & Guinness Hot Pot, & seafood chowder. The staff is super friendly & professional, and the atmosphere is cozy! I love sitting by the fire and enjoying their wide wine selection (while my husband drinks a beer), followed by a delicious peanut butter brownie or slice of cheesecake.

Don't leave town without enjoying this awesome spot right off the...
