Eat Out
We are spoiled for choice in Bearna-Na Forbacha, with fantastic restaurants to enjoy. Thanks to our proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and Galway Bay, many specialise in fish dishes.
Padraicin's is a maritime-themed restaurant and bar located on beautiful Furbo Beach, overlooking Galway Bay. Food is served all day - from breakfast to evening meals - but it is also the perfect spot to enjoy a snack or pint with a friend. To book a table, email: padraicins@eircom.net with your chosen date, time, and party number, or ring 091 592444.
This seafood restaurant specialises in oysters, mussels, fresh fish, crabs, scallops and lobster. Set across two-floors, diners can enjoy spectacular views of Bearna Pier and Galway Bay. For four years in a row, O'Grady's has won the 'Best Seafood Experience in Ireland' award at the Irish Restaurant Awards. Bono even popped in for a chowder and pint in 2015! Turn left at the main crossroads in Bearna village. To reserve a table, ring: 091 592223.
Like The Twelve, Donnelly's occupies what was once another Bearna institution - Tommy and Kathleen Donnelly ran a bar and shop from the same premises for decades. The current owners have embraced this much-loved tradition, adding a tasteful extension of stone, brick and wood to the rear. To reserve a table, ring: 091 592487.
Opened in December 2017, Spiced Barna is a welcome addition to the local 'menu' of choice. An 'Asian Fusion' restaurant, Spiced Barna brings together the best dishes that the Indian sub-continent has to offer.

The fabulous West Restaurant on the first floor pays tribute to the hotel's location, with a menu influenced by rural practices of foraging, fishing and fermentation techniques and heavily driven by seasonality.
A casual alternative is The Pins Gastro Bar, offering a mix of plates and bar bites. Compliment with artisanal cocktails, craft beers, rare spirits, and vintage wines!
