Description

Morrisseys Pub, once a standout Irish gem, now shows signs of neglect. The ambiance is uninspiring, with loud music and poor service. However, the bar staff were not all bad, and some found the pizza to be enjoyable. For those interested in Guinness, the modernized throwback pub offers a unique experience with a great beer garden. Despite some negative experiences, the staff at Morrisseys can be friendly and helpful. The pub is worth a visit for the atmosphere, memorabilia, and courtyard. Enjoy a pint, coffee, or cake while soaking in the historic charm of this establishment.

I am 55 years old and I have frequented thousands of pubs in my life, I can say without hesitation that Morrisey's is the best pub that I have ever been in. The Guinness is lovely (which is usually a good indicator),the pub itself is immaculately clean, the restrooms are elegant and tastefully designed. the Lady behind the counter (Orla) is more than professional, Orla knew when to engage in conversation and when to leave people alone, she was friendly and welcoming and happy to explain the history of the pub. I 100% recommend popping into this beautiful pub

We called to Morrissey's on Sat last Aug 9th, with four cousins who were visiting from Kentucky. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the friendliness of the staff was, as usual well received. The young barman on duty was highly knowledgeable on the vast display of whiskeys on offer, including Bourbon. The youngest member of our visitors was delighted to have this conversation with someone of his generation. Keep up the good work Morrissey's, as an Irish citizen, I'm so proud of you all!
