This central-Salthill bar and restaurant opened in the second week of
March 22025 - just in time for Paddy's Day.
They're in the purpose-built bar and kitchen, between Gourmet Tart and da
Roberta which was
most-recently Barnacles bar and restaurant.
> There's been some work on the fittings, removing features installed by the
last owner, the the overall bar is much the same.
Beacon aims to be a fresh, stylish take on the classic gastro pub, "blend[ing] modern elegance with old-world charm, offering a warm nod to
its stunning west coast surroundings."
The food menu, available from the 18th March, is described as
"Asian-inspired", with offerings including Cantonese Clay Pots (choose from
house-roasted duck, Chinese braised pork belly, Thai Bang Bang chicken),
Beacon House Seafood Plate (with oysters, smoked salmon, and tiger prawns),
Korean-style crispy chicken burger with kimchi, roast Peking duck with plum
sauce. And for the more traditional Irish palate, braised lamb
shank is also available.
