About The Red Bank Restaurant
The Red Bank Restaurant occupies a beautiful, listed building that was previously a national bank in the scenic town of Carrick-on-Shannon in Co Leitrim. Set over three floors with a total capacity of 85, it includes a restaurant and bar along with two private dining rooms and an outdoor terrace, offering customers a casual and affordable dining experience of the highest quality. A family owned business, owners Jason Horkan and Sonata Peciulyte opened The Red Bank Restaurant on 4th March 2020, but were forced to close just 12 days later due to Covid-19. In line with government regulations, they opened again from July until early October and then again for a brief period in December. While The Red Bank Restaurant was only open for a short season in 2020, it quickly established itself as a much sought-after venue with reservations made well in advance by a loyal local following as well as holidaymakers.
