It was a laid back place where locals sat at the bar while we sat at a table in the dining area. I had a Guinness while we waited for our food. We both ordered Seafood Chowder. It came out steaming hot and served with rustic bread. ! It was hearty, delicious and reasonably priced! We decided to split the "Fish of the Day" which happened to be hake. It was very good - crispy and served on top of mashed potatoes with a side of veg (carrots and a cabbage mixture). Really lovely comfort food!

We got the chicken caesar wrap, the lamb stew, and the toastie with the carrot ginger soup (special of the day)- food portions were large so I shared a little bit of everyones food. The chicken caesar wrap was very American style and tasted like home- a good sauce ratio as well. The lamb stew was nice, with the lamb being not too gamey. The sandwich was tasty along with their soup- some of my favorite pub food all trip. Great irish coffee and great Guinness near the fire.

Immediately got a table, perused the menu, for me, I found the bangers & mashed potatoes. It was awesome, and plentiful. Almost too much. The others picked the signature dish of Vol Au Vents (open faced chicken pot pie). They loved them, cleaned their plates. All meals were hot and freshly prepared. Quite good! Again, the service was awesome, many people covering all the tables. NO waiting. The beer selection was really good. I enjoyed a Kilkenny ale, others had the O'hara's witches brew. Very Good as well. The restaurant was busy, but not noisy. Good atmosphere for eating and having a conversation. Thank you!

From the moment you walk in the doors, you have to walk up steps and are greeted right at the bar. The atmosphere is cozy and the waiters are all pretty fun with the typical Irish sarcasm we have learned to smile at and join in with. The food was just okay. We had the burger and the lasagne. It was nothing epic, was edible, but nothing wowed us. I would have loved to try the Kytler's whisky and beers, but they were interestingly not offered so we stuck with the Guiness.
