As an "out-of-towner", I was looking for a place for my family and I to have a nice, affordable dinner. So I went into a pub! The place is dimly lit with an awesome retro vibe. And the food? It was incredible! Delicious salad, delicious wings, and a very handy kids meal. They even have a song bingo game on Thursdays. I wouldn't change a thing 100% recommend for any occasion.

Very good burgers , chips are 10/10 (super crispy and beautifully seasoned, paprika amongst other spices). They have 2 for 1 on most days and €5 Nacho Fridays. Music is very mainstream not my scene but also a great pub for a good night.

Glad I could just about finish it. Be prepared, this is a delicious juicy messy burger! Fast service great...
