A rarity, an Irish bar actually owned by an Irishman ! Lots of pannelled wood and big windows. Tends to attract mainly expats / stag parties. On last visit for some reason it was very dark inside, and difficult so see what beers were on, even when standing at the bar ! Sport on TV and background music (various), but not too loud.
