Great experience overall. The menu clearly labels GF (gluten free) and AGF (available gf) options. We confirmed that a separate fryer is used for GF items so the gluten free fish and chips was an obvious choice. Food quality was excellent. You wouldn't know the fish was prepared with gluten free batter. Drink options were a bit more limited: there was only a single gluten free beer but a few types of cider available.

Wonderful little (big!) pub, we had the Irish stew and the GF fish and chips. The stew was /so good/, hearty and beefy! The fish and chips were substantial and *crispy*. Only had Peroni as the GF beer, so I opted for the Bulmers cider - nice to have options!
Overall great experience, good service as typical on our Ireland visit. Recommended.
Great atmosphere and so beautiful. It has at least 6 different bars or more and all look amazing. Very nice and helpful staff. The food was so good
Lots of gf options on the menu. I had Irish stew and fish and chips, both delicious. Staff was very kind.
The listed items in the reviews for front door are not accurate. The burgers use a bread binder. They do list the items on their menu that are gf though and there are other options.
GF Beef Stew was delicious. GF Brownie was good. Enjoyed the GF Peroni beer as well.
Lots of options to choose from. The waitress was knowledgeable about GF.
Staff are celiac and cross contamination aware. Menu has a variety of gluten free options such as shepherds pie and beef stew. Cosy atmosphere and modern interior.
They have several items marked as gf on the menu and also told me that they have a dedicated fryer. I had the sheperds pie and it was really good.
Absolutely outstanding! Staff knew all about GF & made me feel very safe (which I was - no reactions later!). Delicious food! They Have a separate fryer. Highly recommend!!!! Such a cool spot with lots of bars within a bar!
I ordered a sandwich, it was pretty good. Wait staff seemed very knowledgeable. I felt fine after eating here!
They have a dedicated deep fryer and gluten free items are marked on the menu. I stopped in during a lunch break while I was on a bus tour, I only had an hour and the service was speedy and friendly. I had the bacon cheese fries!
Great for GF! They had gluten free marked on their menu and the majority of the menu was able to be made gluten free. They had a separate fryer for the fries and anything that was dedicated gluten free and it was a great place for us to try. It was in a fun location and they were great for dairy free as well….DF nachos and loaded fries.
Today I went to the front door right as they were starting to serve food at 11:30 AM and I was the only person in the whole place. I ordered the fish and chips and said I had a gluten allergy and he said I would be all set. It was delicious and came with a small cup of ketchup. I made sure to ask if the ketchup was also gluten-free because some of the ketchup here has barley in it and he said yes, it was GF! I felt very safe and excited that I could eat fish and chips.
There was a good range of gluten free options on the menu and most of the burgers were available gluten free on request. I ordered chicken wings and loaded fries which were lovely. The portion sizes were great, very filling. I didn’t feel sick afterwards also. My only issue was that we were seated in an area that seemed very squished and close to people. Otherwise very nice.
Had the gluten free fish and chips and gf brownie. Everything was delicious would recommend.
Many GF options, staff was helpful and food was great.
Great friendly pub with GF fish and chips (all their fish and chips are gluten free - there is no “regular” version). Comes with lovely little smashed peas with mint dish.
Great food so tasty! I had gluten free fish, chips & minted mushy peas. Came with ketchup and tartare sauce! It was all so tasty and had loads of flavour to it!
We then shared for desert gluten free brownie, hot chocolate sauce and chocolate chip ice cream. My partner had gluten free sticky toffee pudding with worthers original sauce and rum & raisin ice cream! Service was great! All staff knowledgeable. Would 100% recommend!
Great pub, fair selection of gluten free options but poor for vegetarians that need gluten free too. Mixed bag when it comes to service, some very friendly, others not at all. Food safely prepared, reasonably priced too. Served quickly.
Good food and fun atmosphere. Waitress seemed to have a lot going on so was not very helpful and seemed rushed to answer questions. Had done research and called prior so I felt safe. Got the fish and chips, big piece of fish with a great crunch! Overall good food.
The best fish and chips I have had since visiting Ireland. The service was great and it was a good atmosphere.
Excellent! Gf fish and chips were amazing. Menu was clearly marked and had many choices. Service was very good.
Great restaurant with accommodating staff! They had gluten free beer, bread, and many of the meals could be adapted to be gluten free even if they weren’t.
Waiter was very knowledgeable and clarified that my food was gluten free when it came out.
Just got a salad, but they had gf shepherd’s pie and a gluten free fish fry both of which sounded great.
Going here for years, very safe. Menu changes every so often but minimum of one item identified as gluten free. Fish and chips unreal.
Shepard’s pie was delicious, menu was clearly marked.
Had the gf fish and chips and really enjoyed them. The fish was crispy and not greasy. Better than what I remember of traditional fish and chips. Didn’t have dessert but they had some nice options. Good service and great location
I am a very sensitive coeliac and ate here in May. I had the fish and chips which were lovely and had no reaction at all, the staff were very understanding and made me feel safe.
Plenty of accommodations/options and a knowledgeable staff. The nachos and chicken melt were great! Gluten free bread available, too!
My daughter got the nachos that were marked gluten free. No issues at all. Waitress wasn’t the friendliest but we were there for the GF options which were satisfactory.
not recommendable. I have celiac disease and the food was 100% contaminated, even though they said it wasn't rude staff
There must be cross contamination in the kitchen as both my wife and I got sick after eating here after telling them we are both celiac
I had phenomenal beef and potato’s here, they were careful to avoid cross contamination and the meat just melted in your mouth. Highly recommend!
I don’t know who other reviewers had as a server or what menu they saw, but I left nearly as quickly as I came in. Our server tried to convince me beef & Guinness pie was gluten free. She was adamant. It was one of two options she said were gf. Easy decision to leave.
Great menu options! Every single allergin possible was listed with a dose at the bottom of the menu. Staff didn't event blink twice when I asked for gluten free fish and chips. Portion size was great! Staff were knowledgeable- waiter even mentioned the ketchup was gluten free! 45 min later and I'm still feeling great so I'd go ahead and say this is celiac friendly!
Awesome gluten free fish and chips. Dedicated fryer. Fast friendly service. On a tour so we were crunched for time and we had plenty of time to get back to our bus
Got a nice gluten free toasted sandwich and dessert. Staff was helpful.
I have celiac and came here for dinner on vacation. I ordered a rockshore cider and I got a rockshore lager after telling the waitress I have celiac and having her check the cider was GF. Unfortunately I got very sick from the gluten beer. I left right away and did not get to try the food. It was a bar tender error and they did not charge us for the drinks we had already ordered.
Dedicated Fryer, buns/bread, knowledgeable staff, celiac friendly traditional Irish food. Good salads also.
Loved the onion rings and the Shepard’s pie was good. Lots of options.
Very knowledgeable. Onion rings GF!!!! I don't eat fish but we had the GF fish and chips and they were not "fishy" at all. Celiac safe!!
GF marked on menu. Available GF also marked for foods that can be modified. Knowledgeable staff. Food from 12 to 9 week days 12 to 8 weekends. I had a lovely fish pie and the chips are GF. They have Shepard’s pie, beef stew, fish and chips, Thai curry. Started Nachos, wings, soup, seafood chowder, tempura prawn, loaded fries. Desert, apple and mixed berry crumble, brownie and sticky toffee pudding. Sambos toasted ham and cheese and a melt. Full bar and they have GF beer, ciders wine etc.
Great food, service, and atmosphere! The food was excellent and completely safe. I had the fish and chips, which was already GF, and my wife had a chicken sandwich and onion rings. The waitress even proactively asked if she was celiac. Would definitely visit again.
Great food for celiacs and non-celiacs! I had the fish and chips which were quite good. The atmosphere was also good if you like a somewhat quieter place. (Several of the nearby restaurants were quite noisy.)
I had an amazing experience at the Front Door when we visited Galway in March. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating of my gluten sensitivity and shellfish allergy. I was able to enjoy nachos, steak for dinner and dessert without any issues. I highly recommend checking out the Front Door.
Delicious! Lots of options. I had the loaded nachos. I have celiac, and I’m very sensitive, and this place was perfect.
All allergies are clearly marked! Celiac friendly with a dedicated fryer! Ate there twice. Fish and chips, mashed potatoes, onion rings. I also tried my hubbies beef stew and Shepard’s pie! All very tasty! I had no reaction or cross contamination!
