Came to see live music, staff were friendly and welcoming, small bar and smoking area but the vibes make up for it. Decent selection of drinks at the bar, offer non alcoholic cider, toilets were clean. Great little bar overall!

Ace place to see bands. Especially if you like a more intimate venue. It has a rickety rock Irish theme. Imagine a gig at Paddy's in Always Sunny. Definitely check it out! The service is absolutely excellent. I was served by a dark haired lady yesterday and she was very kind and accommodating.

Traditional Irish pub. Quirky choice of beers alongside the required draft Guinness. Small venue out the back and enjoyable evening with Six Little Fingers. Loved the cheese and onion cob.
