Never who ya going to meet🙏
This place is a pearl. Came here for food and that was a right choice.
Seafood chowder is my favourite (just 11 euro during lunchtime).
Highly recommend for food and traditional Irish pub atmosphere (it’s not too noisy, which is good).
Be sure to book a table for Friday dinner or weekend.
The chowder’s a big favourite with the team too — glad it hit the spot.
