Large, quite expensive, gets really busy on weekend evenings. Typical of many pubs in the area but given the layout, decor and drink selection this place it is totally different to the norm. Oyster Stout is lovely whilst I haven't heard a good word said about any of the draught lagers and the one I had (can't remember the name but I think it had an image of a polar bear or something like that on the tap) was poor. Very difficult to come to a conclusion on this place but that's not necessarily a bad thing, a bit like one of those rare films that makes you think for days after you leave the cinema. I'll be visiting again, probably on a weekend lunchtime or afternoon when it is relatively quiet,and may then come to a verdict.

Why the h*ll didn't I know about this place? I absolutely LOVE it, although it gets really busy.. A stage behind a bar is something that I highly support and enjoyed when I was there, so I'll be back.

Excellent Oyster Stout on tap and lovely Irish rock oysters. Was getting crowded at 4:30 but then again it was St Patrick's Day. Would definitely go there for lunch again.

Very nice place, when it is quiet.
Avoid the evening hours unless you like very crowded places, music is also far too loud.

When not too crowded this place is very good, excellent beer choice and tons of atmosphere.
