Wow, what a dive! Made a big mistake of going here to watch the World Cup Rugby Final with my family. They advertise sports on the big screen. Being Irish Pub I thought they may be interested in the World Cup final. Service staff couldn't even tell me what TV the rugby would be on but after asking three different people I eventually found it would be played on the smallest TV in the back. One other TV would show it but loud music playing. There was some Internet streamer set up right in front of the TV restricting view and seats were really low lying and uncomfortable to both eat and watch a match. Leading up to match had to ask 3 times for them to put the commentary on. Ordered food from a grotty stained dirty menu (I didn't really want to touch) but needed to use the code for Daves next door and then needed to help the waitress order as the ordering system was 'half English half Spanish' Food arrived Swedish Prawn sandwich was good wings were pre- cooked in cheap horrible wing sauce and my kids wouldn't even eat them (they usually eat anything).
Unfortunately had to go to the toilet whilst there and there was no toilet seat. I suppose I shouldn't have expected luxuries such as a toilet seat at this stage.
Match and commentary eventually came on but the signal kept freezing and missed the start of the Rugby Final.
Paid my bill and left promptly. Won't ever be returning for any reason whatsoever.
Edit: Seeing that you want to reply and not address the reel feedback like you do with other negative comments.... I will answer your questions. Yes I had a draught beer and it was flat and couldn't drink it. I didn't go there for cocktails so not sure what your point is. I also didn't say it was a restaurant and I wasn't expecting it to be one either so not sure why your stating this. Expecting basic cleanliness and decent food is expected in any Irish pub. Why is there no toilet seat and why is the menu filthy? I see you have chosen not to comment on these points. Disgusting and not acceptable. Rather spend the time fixing the toilet seat and spending a couple of cents replacing the paper menus than responding to my comment making out nothing is wrong...
Read moreI'm baffled as to how this place calls itself an Irish bar. Its as Irish as the pyramids. It's a blatant insult to the warm, welcoming spirit of Irish pubs. The Long Hall, Sheehans, Darkey Kellys, Kehoes, The Brazen Head, Seans Pub (these are Irish bars!!!!), maybe take note. The staff's demeanor was as cold as a January day in Dublin without the charm. We were told (by the sulky looking bar person) to sit down and someone will take your order. There was nobody at the bar!!!!
Understaffed and overwhelmed, the service was non-existent. One stressed looking server taking orders from whoever shouted loudest. If you're looking for a genuine Irish experience, complete with friendly faces and proper pints, avoid this place like the plague. It's not an...
Read moreDecor is typicial faux Irish pub and nothing wrong with that. Service is very hit and miss (mainly miss). It's table service (and that's good) but the staff eithier dissappear or hang around the bar chatting to each other. If one approaches the bar because one has not been served or is waiting too long for a additional order, one is looked upon with disdain. At £6.60 for a single rum and small orange... Prices aren't cheap for this suburban location. If they had more attentive staff and lower prices, they could do much better for themslves.. There is certainly not much competition in this location and who dosen't like...
