    The food and atmosphere are wonderful. Great Irish music. The downside was service. Made the reservation and when I arrived I was told that they don’t prefer late bookings and aren’t sure why it allowed me to make the reservation. I sat at the bar, as when I made the booking counter service was what was available anyway, and that was no problem. I initially ordered a drink, which took some time to get to me as the bartender served several other customers first after I’d ordered and paid. I had a hard time getting the bartender’s attention to place my food order, and after I ordered another drink, he began putting away glassware, forcing me to recapture his attention and ask again. I’d find it easier to understand a delay from serving other customers (there were none at the time), but glassware first? Perhaps don’t sit at the bar and the overall experience might be better.

    Great Irish pub that serves a tasty roast on Sundays. Top place for a decent pint of Guinness, too. There is plenty of atmosphere. Feels rustic and authentic

    Really love this pub, fantastic Guinness and nice food. Best part of it is the live music and the level of dedication to St Brendan. Would recommend if you like a proper Irish pub with character.
