An incredible Irish pub that has a lush wooden structure which is really immersive with great people, great drinks, and overall a great experience. The pub also features live music all of the time, and it constantly seems to have a great atmosphere with lots of customers almost every night.

Bit sad. Lost it's mojo. Needs a bit of love. The back 'garden' is a tip. The bitter was not available. Still hot day, so a lager sufficed.

Amazing hidden gem of a pub loved the staff and the building I'll be going back 100%! Also very affordable considering the age we are in and it's location. I would love a IPA on keg but still no big deal have some lovely cask IPA :)

Great authentic Irish boozer. There is usually a good selection of beers to choose from although I have had a couple of ales there that have not been as fresh as I'd have liked. The atmosphere is great with a decent mix of different types of people. Usually busy but rarely feels TOO busy. The garden is bangin although I've yet to experience it in the summer. I also haven't seen any live music there yet but I'm told that's really good. The staff are usually really friendly although you do get the odd young'un at the bar whose a bit lacking in people skills. Haven't tried the food there but they have a good selection of bar snacks. Decent pub all round. Will go there more often in the future 👍

Dosnt look much from the outside but it's a grate quirk space inside, the pub garden is a gem of a space with live music some nights. Plenty of places to sit and a pool table if you fancy some light sport. Ladys loo is like in most pubs an odd place but they were cleen and perfectly nice to use. I enjoyed the atmosphere I went on a Wensday night and the place was buzzing. Staff and local drinkers were very friendly and a good laugh too.
