    This bar is right beside the Holiday Inn Express on O Connell street, so very convenient if you are staying there. Food is pub food of a good quality, very good portions and not too expensive. The live music is excellent but it doesn’t start till 8:30 and the Irish dancing starts at 10pm. A little late if you have being site seeing all day but well worth staying up for. The atmosphere was fantastic just as good as Temple Bar area but a lot more affordable. It was so good we are going back tomorrow night, our Canadian visitors loved it.

    Typical Irish pub, very nice decor. But the server was almost rude to us. The band was very nice, but the dance performance was uninteresting.

    Fantastic evening! Good food, great service and atmosphere. Totally recommend it if you want to spend a nice evening in a nice Irish environment. The service was very helpful, they moved out table closer to be able to see the live music and dance as I only booked the day before the venue. Very nice the whole experience!
