The Bars of River Forest Hotel
The Main Lounge
Walking in you will first of all notice the warm effect of the wood, encasing stained glass designs built over a part wooden, part tiled floor. Comfortable couches accompanied by both high and low seating areas make this a lounge suited to all types.
During the day a constant buzz surrounds the bar with a host of regulars sharing the craic over a delicious pint of the black stuff. A variety of sport is shown live on our flat screens and we serve a delicious and very affordable lunch during the week until 2.30pm. For more, see the menu section of our page.
Weekends are busy and exciting with whatever big sporting events that are taking place being shown on our plasmas and big screen. Showing all matches on Sky Sports, Setanta, ESPN as well as our newly installed extra terrestrial channels – we’ve got something for everyone
Main Lounge Entertainment
Hitting the ground running was our Thursday Night Bingo session – from the word go this night has proven to be a favourite amongst our customers. Well established now, every Thursday we have LIVE MUSIC with Look Sharp from 9.30pm. The band takes an extended interval where our Bingo maestro Paddy – better know as Bingo Starr, takes to the stage for a round of Bingo. Cash prizes for the winners and the band continues on til late!
LIVE MUSIC every Saturday night from 10pm
Areas can be reserved at no cost, with sandwiches/platters available. Phone the bar on 01 624 5678 for more details.
The Main Lounge opens from 10.30am Monday to Saturday and from 12.30pm on a Sunday, serving until 11.30pm Monday to Thursday, 12.30am on a Friday/Saturday and 11pm closing on a Sunday.
The Forest Room
The Forest Room opens to make The Main Lounge into a two bar area. With it’s own flat screen and full bar, it gives an opportunity to escape the tension of the football or the bass from the band. Comfortable surroundings and lower volume levels make for a nice, relaxing drink.

The Century Bar
Most often used as our function room now, but occasionally opened for ad hoc events, this bar is equipped to host any type of get-together. A full bar, background sound system, multiple lighting settings and flexible staffing mean we can cater for a variety of events such as christenings, birthday’s, family celebrations or even wedding vow renewals as we’ve recently had!
