The Step Inn

Walking in the door of the buzzing Step Inn, you feel as if you've walked into the beating heart of a real community institution.
Open daily from 12pm. L Mon-Fri 12pm-4pm, D Mon-Fri from 4pm (Sat from 5pm). Set 2/3 course Early D Mon-Fri 4pm-7pm, €19.90/€23.90. Weekend menu Sat 12pm-5pm, Sun all day. Live music every weekend. Visa, MasterCard abbreviations

The Step Inn is one of those places that has been around so long, it has become an intrinsic part of the village. There's live music on Saturday nights and lives sports in the bar on a 60in high definition TV with surround sound.


Typically, it's buzzing with a mix of families, couples young and old and people watching the match in the bar, complete with a brief announcement over the PA system to announce the winner of that evening's raffle. Walking in the door, you feel as if you've walked into the beating heart of a real community institution.


And it's no surprise that it's so popular when you look at the menu. There are plenty of old favourites, such as nachos or chicken wings to start, or a Thai red chicken curry or fish pie for mains.


But look a little closer, and you'll find some unexpected flair on the menu too, like fish and chips given a little twist with the addition of Archway beer in the batter. Vegetarian options are more plentiful than average too, such as the Ardsallagh goat’s cheese Falafel burger that sounds good enough to tempt the carnivores.




The Step Inn burger is as good as any burger you'll find anywhere. Served with a small kilner jar of their own homemade ketchup and a brioche bun, and containing smoked Gubbeen cheese, it comes on such a generous wooden board, complete with a basket of chunky that it feels like a feast.


The star attraction at the Step Inn, though, is the 'on the stone' dishes. They claim to have been the first in Ireland to offer them, and they've remained a hit ever since. Choose from a fillet or flat iron steak and the sizzling hot stone comes straight to the table with the raw meat on top of it so that you can cook it exactly to your own liking.


They say that the stones have converted quite a few people who thought they liked their steak well done to eating it as medium or even medium rare once they got to cook it themselves and realised how tender the beef could be.




There's an impressive international selection of craft beer available, and if you still have room, you might be swayed by a dessert such as an individual banoffee pie or a light-as-air Eton Mess

Whether you want to meet friends for a coffee, grab a quick lunch, enjoy a leisurely dinner or just have a drink at the bar, the Step Inn is a good choice no matter what time of day it is. And with genuinely warm, friendly service, you'll be well fed and well looked after.
