Bookable spaces for gatherings, with early kitchen hours noted for planning.

Always busy, which says a lot. Good Guinness and a great atmosphere. The fire adds to the cosy feel, and the fiddle players were a nice touch – it felt like they were there purely for the enjoyment of it rather than putting on a show. Service was quick and friendly. A great setting in an old, traditional Irish pub, perfect for anyone who enjoys a proper tipple
A lovely traditional bar with a great atmosphere. The Guinness was excellent, clearly poured properly, and the live trad music was a perfect way to round off the night. Service was good and prompt throughout. Unfortunately, I can’t comment on the food as the kitchen and private dining area upstairs were already closed by 7pm, which felt quite early and a bit disappointing. That said, it’s a cracking spot for a pint, and they definitely know how to pour a Guinness. Would happily return for drinks and music.
This place was the quintessential irish pub experience my wife and I were looking for. We caught some dinner upstairs in the restraunt and the food was amazing. My wife ordered the Irish stew. I have never seen her eat an onion but I thought I might end up I Crumlin Road Gaol if I took a second one from her bowl. The stew was amazing, and so was the chicken stack I ordered, it was unique but delicious. We ordered profiterols for desert and they were perfecr, not to sweet or over decadent. If your looking for a laid back dinner experience and a great pub to visit downstairs after, stop in here. 10 out of 10 would recommend
We had dinner at the restaurant upstairs. The food was traditional and enjoyable. The vegan cottage pie tasted even better than normal ones. And the apple crumble was hearty. The pub has good live music but a bit too noisy for us.
What a lovely place this is went for a walk and found this delightful place will delightful be returning. Both had the fish and chips it was so fresh. And looking at what others had ordered there food looked delicious too. We also had the Guinness bread and butter 😋
