What a lovely, typically Irish, friendly place to have a few drinks and some lovely food. We arrived at around 2 pm and were not particularly looking to eat. After looking at the menu over a lovely pint of Guinness and a whisky and ginger...More

This was a small dark little pub and we did stop twice to think about entering. Seemed to be a lot of locals patronising the place. The bar staff were great. Even delivered drinks to our tables. Our food was lovely. Would definitely recommend.More

Incredibly, we found this place in a zone where all restaurants were expensive, this one was affordable, reasonable and delicious. The Stew and the Roasted Beef were amazing... We'd love to repeat. Irish beef is "canela en rama", as we call awesome food in Spain!...More

A great atmosphere, great beer and great food. Walk through the bar area and you will find lots of Harry Potter memorabilia.

We ate here 1 night, and did not regret it, as the food & service were very good. We had some soup, roast of the day & irish stew, and although the pub was full, the service was always very swift. Would definitely recomend it.More
