Generally I give Eamonn Rea's a wide berth - with three other pubs along Parkgate street, plus the ultra plush bar at The Ashling Hotel just a few minutes walk away, there's little draw for me here.

Like most locals, this place has developed a following - possibly as a result of an eclectic music selection (Electronica nights, anyone?). Some regulars can border on the obnoxious while hanging out front for a smoke between pints, if that's not a deal breaker than this is your pub. read more
