Foley's on the Mall
About
Foley’s on the Mall is a historic gastropub nestled in Lismore’s charming town centre, welcoming patrons since 1870. With a warm, wood‑spun interior and a lively bar, the venue offers a relaxed folk‑atmosphere that blends classic Irish hospitality with contemporary flair. Outside, two spacious dining rooms – the Stone Room and the Blue Garden – provide all‑season, retractable‑roof and open‑air experiences that make it a year‑round favourite. The menu celebrates locally sourced produce, featuring a range of tapas, hearty mains, and homemade desserts, all paired with an extensive selection of crafted beers, wines and spirits. During the week, food service runs Wednesday to Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and again from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with the bar open while the kitchen is on. On Sundays, guests can enjoy lunch from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and the bar remains open 'till late'. On Mondays and Tuesdays the kitchen is closed, but the bar operates between 6 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., perfect for a late‑night pint or a relaxed drink. The pub’s historic setting, friendly staff, and circular timetable make Foley’s an accessible, inclusive spot for families, couples, and food lovers alike – whether you seek a quiet grab‑a‑bite, a lively musical evening, or a memorable birthday party.
