Jordy's Public House in Down

What a great we old fashioned pub. Reminded me of what pubs were like growing up The local regulars are so witty but seriously intelligent with their wit and take on current affairs. The Guinness was decent too but the real charm was in the place and the people. Great spot

Pub in the full sense of the word that is Jordy's Bar in Ballynahinch. Though it was overhead in general chit chat in the aforementioned premises as being referred to as Matt's ? Of its type this small bar in a middle sized town by Northern Ireland standards is spot on for the consumption of alcoholic beverages, that coupled to the regulars interacting it does what it says on the tin as one may articulate. Fast forward to the necessity of perhaps a male patron having to avail of the urinating facility ( a pub after all thus copious amounts of liquid can be consumed on occasion ). Not too pristine -------yes an up to date hand drying blower has been installed since our last visit a while back alas the hand soap aspect from a small plastic pump bottle (devoid of content at times) this in combination with a grubby sink and not fit for purpose 1960's style cold water tap complimented by the totally out of date Mickey Mouse wall mounted hot water gizmo, not just up to speed in a public bar type of pub in the year 2023 A.D. Regarding the requirement should a male customer need to pay a visit to a certain place for a comfort break. Then truly the internal size of the comfort cubicle is not fit for purpose.

Called in I would say first time this year. Dead on re the beverages it sells. Atmosphere spot on. Alas come that time to pay a visit to the gents toilet — not great. The urinal in poor condition that said you do not have to touch it.The hand washing aspect you do thus it requires being replaced with a new sink, press down water taps, robust wall mounted hand soap dispenser coupled to a 21st Century hand dryer.I peeked into the sit down aspect of a toilet visit.A rethink would not go amiss either with regard to its size,The proprietors need to see this most crucial room in a public house as it is now and should be.My other half availed of the ladies room and passed comment on it being in good order.

These premises both in actual layout and atmosphere ooze that of a working class watering hole with a touch of the chattering classes on board all interacting with banter. Jordy's is a family owned and operated set up. There is a dank outside yard for those hot days in which to down a couple of cold ones. The male ablution facilities are of another time ----yes open to the fresh air in the yard so healthy on that front BUT alas the hand washing / drying aspect are pure stone age by todays standards. The comfort cubicle would be of serviceable use for a 10/12 year old person re its dimensions.
