About Horatio Todd's Bar & Restaurant

On the Newtownards Road in Ballyhackmore, Horatio Todd's Bar & Restaurant is a gastropub serving European dishes with global twists alongside cocktails. A front bar and seating area suit drinks or a light meal, while a larger dining room sits at the rear, and an outdoor patio adds further seating at the front. The kitchen runs from small plates, including a prawn and salmon cocktail, through to a cheeseburger with skinny fries and a Sunday roast with roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, broccoli, Yorkshire pudding and apple sauce. Desserts take in a mixed berry cheesecake and a hot fudge brownie sundae. The bar pours mojitos finished with fresh mint and a blood orange garnish. The space is walk-in, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often single out the burger with skinny chips, praised by one reviewer as one of the best they've had in a while, with the Sunday-style roast loin of pork close behind and described as a generous portion that one pair shared. Reviewers also name the prawn and salmon cocktail from the small plates, the mixed berry cheesecake, the hot fudge brownie sundae, and mojitos with fresh mint and blood orange. Food is called fresh, made in-house and full of flavour, and staff are repeatedly described as friendly and quick, even when busy. The recurring caveats are noise and pace. One reviewer found the room consistently very loud at a busy time and suggested partitions between seating, another had to flag staff down once or twice on a busy Saturday, and one found some pints of Guinness weren't great, with some arriving too quickly. One noted the website menu was out of date, and staff said it had changed two days earlier. A same-day booking ended with a birthday treat for one diner's partner.

    “Wait staff/servers were so pleasant and professional, also friendly. We were attented to very well, very politely too. Our orders were taken quickly and accurately. We could not believe how fast the drinks were brought to our table, and also we were hardly waiting at all, before the food was served. We had the bacon, cheese, tomatoe relish, lettuce, red onion steak mince burger w/parmesan & garlic skinny chips. Other dish was roast loin of pork in a Sunday roast style; roast potatoes, meaty delicious gravy, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, boiled broccoli, soft, eggy lovely yorkshire pudding & apple sauce. The dessert was tasty too, mixed berry cheesecake with vanilla icecream and some fresh strawberries. Really enjoyed the ambience, decor and lighting of the restaurant too. The price was very reasonable and the menu selection/variation was also great. We would definitely go back due to all the positive and enjoyable things we experienced.”

    “Food was very nice, with large portions. I ordered the cheeseburger with skinny fries and the burger was one of the best I've had in a while! There are around 4 friendly staff members who were quick to help out, we were apologised to twice for the wait even though we weren't waiting very long, it was still nice. Only issue is the atmosphere, we were there at what looked like one of the busiest times but it was consistently very loud. My best suggestion would be partitions between seating! Also, we noticed that the menu on their website was out of date and we asked them about the differences and they said the menu only changed 2 days ago. Overall, all of us really enjoyed our meals and will likely be back soon!”

    “Had a delicious lunch and afternoon having a few pints this week. Outside area was gorgeous in the rare sunshine and there was plenty of space inside despite being quite busy. My friend and I opted for the 3 small plates each and at £18 that was good value for plenty of tasty food. The prawn and salmon cocktail was outstanding! My only minor gripe is that some of my pints of Guinness weren’t great, with some arriving a little too quickly…but that’s not enough to put me off and I’ll definitely be back soon.”
