Hoy tuve la oportunidad de visitar Fordes Bar y la experiencia fue excelente. Desde que entras, el ambiente te envuelve con ese aire cálido y acogedor típico de los pubs irlandeses. La decoración es uno de sus grandes aciertos: madera oscura, detalles tradicionales y una iluminación suave que invita a quedarse. La barra de madera es el corazón del lugar, perfectamente cuidada, con ese toque rústico que le da carácter y autenticidad. Es un sitio ideal tanto para ir con amigos como para tomarte una pinta tranquilo por tu cuenta. La atención fue impecable. El personal fue amable, rápido y siempre con una sonrisa, algo que marca la diferencia y hace que quieras volver. Además, la selección de cervezas es muy buena, con varias opciones irlandesas clásicas y algunas sorpresas que vale la pena probar. Sin duda, Fordes Bar es un sitio al que volvería. Tiene alma, buen ambiente y todo lo que se espera de un verdadero pub irlandés.
