Popped in to this promising multi level boozer on a quiet Thursday night, lots of period features and photos on walls, blessed relief that it was not trying to be cool and funky like so many other places within city walls. Lack of proper beer only to be expected in Ireland, it's Guinness or fizzy keg pop but decent selection... More

Welcoming old style pub serving a great pint of Guinness. We didn't have any food but what we saw looked appetising. Perfect place to take the weight off your feet after walking the city walls. More badger paraphernalia is needed inside but nearly gets 5 stars for the name alone.

Though recommended by our walking tour guide, it was not worth it. Place was packed. Servers worked feverishly. But the food was poor. We both had burgers, but they were frozen and lacked any flavor at all. Atmosphere downstairs was great, but we were upstairs. Not so good.

Was at a conference and took some of the other delegates there for a drink as i had been there before a few months back. everybody loved it. It is a bit small and always seems to be very busy - I didn't eat there but the food that was passing me looked fantastic. The staff and the owner are... More

Nice, welcoming atmosphere but average pub food. Unimaginative salad with the scampi and chips and the frying oil could have done with changing. Expensive for what you get.
