All 3... read more of us ordered the Soup of the day (tomato and basil) served with a slice of delicious homemade bread. The service was good, the atmosphere was great and the soup was delicious!

Matt, Paddy, Aoife, Niamh just to name a few gave just impeccable service. The manager Noel couldn't do enough for us and the food there was outstanding. I had the freshest fish n chips ive ever had.....the cajun chicken burger was unreal....the chowder delicious. Really can't say enough about the place. I think they should stop serving shots though.....I may have overdone it a little bit in that department!!
Have already booked to go back in November for the winter ambience

  Fantastic food, top class. Had plenty of options to choose from including great vegetarian/ vegan dishes. Service was excellent too. Couldn't recommend enough.

Some pictures from other reviewers showed a hot platter but ours were all cold so the hubby was complaining a bit as he doesn’t like cold seafood.

  Above average kitchen, wide selection of locally seeded seafood and typical Irish pub food.

Pro tip: try the desserts!
