please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The staff were nice, the pub is a poky, plastic-wooden box with loud music and some high prices. It is inside a hotel though, so hotel bar prices shouldn't be a surprise.

Crap. Full of tourists and local idiots. The beers ok though

This place has plasma screens and a projector for showing Sky Sports and Setanta and is the sort of place you end up in when you have run out of ideas of where to watch the match.
As mentioned before, there is only a selection of basic draught available. There was also an overpowering smell of fat whilst I was there making my first and last visit very brief.

I use Callaghans now and again, usually when there's a test match on and I want to check progress. They almost always have the big screen on showing sport and it doesn't seem to get as packed as other places. Not a place you'd want to spend a lot of time in but a convenient bolthole if you're in the area - a little like The London Pub in that respect. There are no real ales here, standard keg offering and Staropramen. Haven't eaten there myself but it provides a good menu for guests and tourists.

Crap bar

Dull. Avoid.

Average in nearly every way. It has one of those big screens for football if that's what your looking for and plenty of those picnic type tables outside on a quiet-ish bit of street.
Its the antithesis of Camera pubs and is devoid of any soul. The Marquis (nee Goose) across the road is slightly nicer and certainly has better (cheaper/nicer/more satisfying) food and real(er) ales and a larger lager selection so go there instead.

Part of the Holiday Inn hotel, an Irish themed pub (who would have guessed from the name eh?).
Food a bit pricey but is good for a quiet drink, been in there quite a lot recentley and have never found it packed. Prices are cheap as they are opposite The Goose, a good pint of Guinness served.
