Rustic pub. Excellent service. Food was very good, not quite authentic from Ireland. Lots of meat in the stew, taste of Ireland was tasty and lots of food, great selection of beer, fresh Guinness. Irish coffee severed as a cocktail.

Everything was perfectly good except there’s only two servers working on that day, and it was really busy so the service is pretty slow and really struggled to get server’s attention. However it’s totally understandable, the servers are super nice too! Just if there would be more servers working that night the experience would be better. Overall reasonable price, delicious food and beautiful environment!
