My partner and I visited here and loved the live traditional music in the pub section. It was the best we found while visiting Ireland. And the Guinness is great too! More

We ate here on recommendation by our hotel and although it was a bit of a walk it was worth the effort. Great bar food and fantastic atmosphere made this a great place to spend an evening. Highly recommended. More
