Most Disliked
Despite the many positives, some patrons find the cozy atmosphere can make it feel a bit tight, especially during peak hours. A few guests have noted that bringing large bags can be awkward in the limited space, which may lead to a less comfortable experience.
Others mention that on busy evenings, such as Saturdays, the noise level can rise significantly due to the lively crowd and live music, which might not be ideal for those seeking a quieter dining experience. However, this vibrant ambiance is part of Badgers’ charm and appeal.

Came here for the fish and chips and it did not disappoint! The fish was perfectly battered and they gave you quite a large piece. I really enjoyed that you could pick a side too. I got the sweet potato fries which were great and my wife got champ. The beers are great, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

Badgers Bar & Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is out of this world—every dish bursts with flavor and the portions are proper hearty. Their “Derry Grill” Irish breakfast is hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and the pint of Guinness that goes with it is pure class. The staff are warm, chatty, and make you feel right at home from the minute you walk in. They’re dog-friendly at certain tables—just ring ahead or pop in and try your luck. Between the buzzing atmosphere, amazing grub, and top-notch service, this pub is not to be missed!

Food was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend it. Had a good variety of options from a delicious casserole to pasta dishes, salads and burgers. Really recommend it. Can be quite cozy so wouldn't try and bring in big bags and what not.

The staff where great and friendly and the food was great and really tasty. The only thing it felt cramped and not enough space between tables. Great decor around the building. If you take your car you will have to park somewhere near as no car park. Give it a go you will love it.

A cozy place to eat and have a pint. It was a welcome shelter for us when rain came suddenly. The food was great. Do yourself a favor and wander into the Badger for a great meal and a welcoming atmosphere!
