    Excellent evening of entertainment.

    Went here on the recommendation of a local taxi driver and we had a great evening. Live music started around 9.30 and there was a great atmosphere. The locals were all very friendly.

    Monday night is music night!

    I don't know about other nights but Monday night is traditional Irish music night. Get there early, enjoy the beers (local brew KPA is particularly nice) and then wait for the locals to come in, move you around and get very friendly. Wonderful night.
