Dillon's Bar & Restaurant
Dillon Terrace, Ballina, Co. Mayo
About
Dillon's is a town-centre bar and restaurant with a picturesque courtyard that comes into its own on a fine summer day. The menu is honest pub-and-bistro cooking, seafood chowder, smoked salmon, fish and chips in a proper batter, burgers and steaks, with a good few desserts to follow. It is a reliable, unpretentious spot for lunch or an early dinner in the middle of Ballina, and the courtyard is one of the nicer places in town to sit out with a drink.
