We've been to this bar on quite a few occasions, and have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere (I'm surprised at myself not doing a review sooner!) The service is good, the choice of drinks is great and we love the atmosphere of the place. Sadly on this occasion the food was lacking and I've been thinking about how... More

Nice, relaxed atmosphere..the steak sandwich is a winner! Dined out with my husband and found that the beers were cold, and the food was quickly delivered to us. The dining area is comfortable and warm. My husband has never had lamb shanks quite like the dish he had here, was a real mans dish!! Decent sized meals (we definately didn't... More

I ate dinner at the Hennessy's Irish Pub when my friends were out somewhere else. Being alone and eating dinner here didn't feel awkward. The service was exceptional and the people were nice. I had an amazing chicken pasta and I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I find Trip Advisor both a great marketing tool and a helpful tool for selecting a service BUT unfortunately some people obviously use it as a means of discrediting and maliciously attacking a business and its staff. On reading this review this morning I checked with my kitchen staff who have reviewed their system back six weeks and have found... More

Food reasonably priced, friendly staff, quick service, enjoyable Liked the range of main courses and drinks. Staff were quick to respond to requests. The ambience was particulary good as evidenced by the number of people in the middle of the afternoon who were eating and drinking inside and out.
