This must be one of the worst pubs anywhere.I have never been to a more clannish,unfriendly pub anywhere compared to this.I had not used it for about 6 months although I recently moved to within 3 minutes walk.I wondered why.Now I know,and at £3.50 a pint,thet can stick it and them and I will remember why I will never go to this poor excuse for a pub again.

Only go in here for Football. It's cramped and mixed fans which I hate. Guinness is good, but if you're sitting you'll have to turn your head to face a screen pretty much anywhere and if you stand there is nowhere to put your drink.

You couldn’t mistake an afternoon in this pub for anything but a Wishing Well as it has plenty of plasma screens all showing horse racing and a few old Irish boys shouting obscenities at the screen whilst waving worthless betting slips in the air.

As is to be expected the barmaid was very friendly, but the crowd seemed more transient and grubby than usual. The usual suspects were all lined up along the bar so I opted for a Guinness which was very nice. Whilst I was waiting for it to settle I spotted a dartboard case on the wall, but it was closed and there was no oche so I am not sure that there is a board in it.

Some old Irish music was playing in the background, but it was fighting with the commentary of the racing which was a little frustrating.

I have been in better Wishing Wells than this one so I doubt that I’d return here.

such ashame the crack has gone from my old favorite pub the well as we call it. What has happened ? There was a big difference to the pub we all loved so much. the bar maid was a friendly girl but some how I got the impression the landlady could smile a little more and mean it. Its only my opinion but it needs a new captain at the helm. very disappointed more like a morgue than the lively spot it once was. Conner Henery
