The Shipyard Inn - Courtown harbour

While visiting Courtown, my partner, his friend, his children aged 8 and 10, and I decided to enjoy a quiet drink at a pub after a nice day out. Unfortunately, we were told that children were not allowed on the premises past 8pm, but could stay for one drink. Despite this policy, we observed a large family with a young child playing with a football, as well as a table with minors drinking. Our children were well-behaved, playing on their Nintendo when we asked for a second drink, only to be denied. Even after pointing out the inconsistency in enforcing the rule, we were still refused. We believe that the pub's selective policy towards visitors and locals is disappointing, and a tourist town should not turn away potential business in such a manner.

During my vacation in Courtown, myself, two other adults, and my two sons aged 10 and 8 visited this restaurant for a drink. We were informed that children had to leave the premises by 8, which seemed odd for a holiday village. However, after 8, I noticed someone with a child playing with a ball while my kids were sitting and being served. When my friend tried to order a drink, we were told it was too late for kids. The barperson, Catriona, who was the owner, mentioned that there should be one rule for everyone, but it seemed like there was a double standard. There are many other places to visit in Courtown, so I would recommend skipping this one.

I visited this restaurant in the afternoon with friends to watch a football game and enjoy some beers. I thought the atmosphere was pleasant and the price of the beer was fair. There was a band playing, which was nice, but we didn't stay to listen. We didn't eat during this visit, but I am considering coming back another time.

In Courtown today Headed to the Shipyard Inn for. An Early Dinner I had Steak chips My daughter had goujons and chips both were delicious staff very friendly too

We experienced the Faulty Towers of Restarunt's last sat. Waitress was wonderful that's the only positive in this review. There was a metal foreign object found in one dish , raw chicken served in another, two rare stakes served well done. Second attempt to serve the correct meal was thrown across the table at a guest (not by said wonderful waitress) chef attempted to tell guest (who is in the business) her raw chicken was a wild mushroom. Needless to say we won't make a return visit.
