I was taken aback by the noisy atmosphere and the poor service from one of the bartenders. The bar had two large TVs showing racing and rugby, which was fine, but the loud dance music made it all blend into an unpleasant noise. I was shocked and upset by the rude and disrespectful attitude of a skinny young bartender who seemed uninterested in serving customers. When I asked for a pint of cider, he reluctantly poured it without a please or thank you, and threw my change across the counter. He treated other customers in a similar manner. While not all the staff were like this, the overall service was disappointing compared to my previous experiences at the pub. The staff used to be excellent, but now I am hesitant to return. The pizza I had was also mediocre at best.

We even called ahead to order and the drinks were amazing. The ambiance is something you have to see for yourself. I would give this restaurant a perfect 10/10 rating.

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
