About the restaurant

Our story: The StockHouse is result of four people with an avid love of good food, good times & good value. Having both eaten out and working in various establishments both in Ireland and abroad, and having spoken about opening our own restaurant on many a night out it finally came to be when Mick and Orla approached Tom and Carmel about the possibility of opening a place of our own. They had been watching the building for quite a while and when it became available they decided to act and so our partnership was formed and StockHouse was born....

Top-notch restaurant! The food was delicious – the beet salad with chicken was fresh and full of flavor, and the well-done beef burger was perfectly seasoned. Great service and a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!
