Just popped in here after a visit to Carrickfergus Castle for a Guinness. Really lovely - it's got a wonderful sense of history and really nice staff. The Inn is the white building at the centre of the photograph - across the road from Wetherspoon's "Central Bar"Just popped in here after a visit to Carrickfergus Castle for a Guinness.

Fantasic location, smack bang right in the middle of High Street in Carrickfergus. Food served is basic and not exactly cooked to Gordon Ramsey standards but is perfectly edible, and for the price there is definately no place for complaints. Drink prices are simply the cheapest in the area, usualy by a huge margin per round. As such though, this is where the problem comes in. At the weekends especially the crowd can be rough, get in before 9 o'clock for a cheap family meal you'll be fine. Any time after this be aware there may be intimdating crowds of 18 - 21 year olds outside and the odd scuffle breaking out with Bouncers.Check out the mid week offers like Curry nights or Steak night - fantastic value for money for a quick cheap and hassle free mid week family meal. The Desert range is not amazing though, and perhaps could be expandedFantasic location, smack bang right in the middle of High Street in Carrickfergus.

On paper The Joymount Arms or "Ownies" as it is more commonly known around town should be the best bar in Carrickfergus. Recently underwent a refit that must have cost an absolute fortune in order to prepare for the smoking ban. The smoking area at the rear of the building is fantastic with an open fire for the winter months, plenty of seating and patio heaters as well as plenty of cover to keep the rain off. Excellent video juke box if you like a bit of backround music with your pint. Good range of domestic and international beers on draft as well as the usual spirts , wine and bottled beer selections. The main drawback is the bad crowd it gathers. Trouble breaks out outside it almost every night. I have even seen one of the bouncers attack a punter, for the punter to then be thrown out. By all means go in during the day - but avoid like the plague at nights and especially weekend nights.On paper The Joymount Arms or "Ownies" as it is more commonly known around town should be the best bar in Carrickfergus.
