Beautiful and friendly bar. Had live big screen Premier League playing. The restaurant had a wait, but they give you a buzzer and you can go get pint at the bar while you wait. Had double fish and chips which was superb. The service was amazing and very accommodating as they asked us for any allergies and gave us a diagram for all food items and associated allergens.

We went for dinner before the live music started on a weeknight and had a wonderful meal. There were vegetarian options for my mother and wonderful seafood choices as well. I enjoyed the scallops and my father has fish & chips. All the food was so good!! Just make sure to enter the restaurant side for food or remain on the bar side for just drinks.

We just stopped for some drinks. Very friendly staff. We missed any live entertainment. A bit of a labyrinth inside, but very cool building. Some really great people watching, without the insanity of Quay St., if you manage a table outside.
