What User likes about Poor Relation:
Absolutely fantastic experience. My partner and I stopped off here whilst doing Christmas shopping. All the bar staff and girl) greeted us like old friends. They were approachable, jovial and prompt with their service. I asked if they would show a football match on the TV, which they agreed, then started having a laugh over the team I followed this type of banter is sadly missing from Irish bars today We will return,... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Poor Relation:
Currently under a new manageress with the Worst Power Tripping attitude you will experience. One or 2 staff follow her rudeness. Maybe her 1st job..? Several have left this establishment over one of the worst power trippers in the trade. How long has she been there..? Great Bar for many years though and owned by a Nice Guy. View all feedback.

Grand bar, good service, nice pint....company is your own business

Pure class super food burger yummy pints in meinem Bauch

Located in a historic building, this bar has been a staple for many years. Despite a new manager, some customers have complained about rude staff, while others have had an excellent experience. On St. Patrick's Day, the lively atmosphere and fantastic drinks made for an unforgettable evening. The bar offers a wide selection of beers, including those from a local brewery. Customers can enjoy live music, pool, and a friendly chat with fellow patrons. With a relaxed atmosphere, both locals and visitors can find a cozy spot inside or outside to enjoy a pint and good company.

It's a great place to immerse yourself in Irish culture, there's plenty of beer to choose from and very polite staff.
