As a local of Downpatrick I have always been partial to Denvirs as an entertainment spot. Live music from the best talent Co.Down has to offer and all the locals and characters that attend there. Anyone familiar with the scene will know who I'm talking about. From the lovely blonde lady who always sits in the bar and chats to anyone and everyone to the musicians who prop the bar up.

I love eating out as I have this affliction.... I would poison myself with my drastic attempts so I have eaten in Denvirs many times. Admittedly I can remember years ago this spot wasn't the place to eat but over recent years with new ownership and a new chef the food and quality is next to none and I love it, whether it be a Sunday roast, full dining or a meal deal, it's cooked properly and is delicious.
The people who work here are great and always game for a laugh. i.e. walk into the restaurant and there is a crayon picture I did of a member of staff on the wall. Little welcoming things like this are what people look for.

Lastly. Recently I stayed over night for the sake of it basically, only living out the road. The rooms are lovely and complete the scene. With all the times I've been here I wondered why I had never even asked to see them. Long story short when it came time to plan my families New Year celebrations, we booked dinner for all relatives and those who are travelling WILL be staying here on my recommendation.

We stayed here on the weekend of the 9th September as we were attending a wedding nearby. The room was very basic and we got no sleep for 2 nights as you can hear everything thorugh the walls, even people snoring next door. There was live music on both evenings and the noise was unbearable in our room. Breakfast was OK but I couldn't wait to get out of this hotel. Would not recommend. I now understand why it was the only hotels within 10 miles which had a room available for the weekend.

Had a meal in the restaurant and couldnt believe it when they served me chips that were not cooked fresh. Instead they had been flash fryied like you would get from a chip van. I can easily tell the difference as I used to work in a fish and chip shop and this was done for speed. If you are going to charge restaurant prices you need to do better.

Stayed here for 1 night while visiting Downpatrick on business. Staff were lovely and the hotel itself was quaint - but sadly it was not very clean. It would not have taken much effort to change this. We ate dinner in the restaurant and that was very good as was the freshly cooked breakfast in the morning.
