I had a great time at Old Reliable Irish Pub! I picked it off Google just wanting a quick pint, and I am so glad I did. It use to be a Mens only pub 20 years ago. I met the locals that were in there, they were awesome! Shout out to Con the bartender and Roy! Thanks for the great experience and conversation! - Missouri, USA near Springfield

Cracking wee local pub. Fast service, good beer and definitely a pub that's not went all in to attract tourists.
