A very nice pub. The food is highly recommended, rarely eaten so well in Ireland. Have eaten there for dinner on Christmas Eve and were so satisfied that we often ordered a table there. On weekends with live music. Thank you for spending a few evenings with you. Greetings from Germany

Not before time am I writing this review. Go there most Saturdays with my friend and have never been disappointed. Steak sandwiche and chips are absolutely delicious. The excellent staff are amongst the best i have encountered. 100% recommend that people try this marvellous place.

Portions are generous and food is devine, staff are very friendly and helpful, value for money, definitely recommend.
