The fish and chips were spot on &mdash; crispy batter, fresh fish. Sat on the terrace with a view of the water, which made the whole lunch feel a bit special.

Full Irish was proper good, coffee hit the spot too. Place was packed but the staff kept things moving. Best brekkie I had all trip.

Stopped in on a quiet afternoon, barman was sound out. Had a good chat, gave us a few tips for the road. Proper Irish welcome, no fuss. Pint was grand, exactly what you need after a long drive. Place has a bit of character, not trying too hard. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back next time I&#39;m passing through.

Nice cocktails and a menu that&rsquo;s got plenty of options without being too much. Prices are a bit steep but you&rsquo;re paying for the quality. Solid spot for a proper dinner.

Decent spot. Pasta had a nice little kick and the pizza was pretty good, though toppings were a bit light. Wine&#39;s a touch pricey but staff were sound.

The coffee&rsquo;s decent but nothing to write home about. The free chocolate with your drink is the real winner though&mdash;always makes me stop in when I&rsquo;m passing.

The smoked duck breast was spot on&mdash;properly pink, decent fat render, and that cherry glaze actually cut through instead of just sitting there sweet. Cocktail list looked interesting but I stuck with a pint. Portion size was fair for the price. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back just for that duck again.

Been coming here for a while now and the steak sandwich keeps me coming back. Thick slices of beef, proper gravy, and that portobello mushroom on top just works. Loaded fries are decent too but the sandwich is the one I always order. Still as good as the first time I had it.

The trad music and general buzz in here made it feel like a proper Irish pub. Guinness was poured well and the spice bag had a decent kick. Seats near the window were a bit tight though.

The tasting menu was lovely &mdash; the cod in champagne cream sauce really stood out. Duck was great too. Only thing is the room felt a bit cramped, but the food made up for it.

Been coming here for a while now, and the fish and chips never let me down. Cod&#39;s always flaky, batter stays crisp without being greasy. Kids&#39; meal deal is decent too, keeps the little ones happy without breaking the bank. Portions are fair for what you pay. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you get what you pay for.

Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, really nice relaxed spot. Porridge was spot on, though I wish they&#39;d a better wine list to go with it. Still, great for a slow morning.

Came here with a few friends last week and honestly the chicken and burgers were spot on. Chips let it down a bit though, some were a bit sad and chewy, like they&#39;d been refried. Fresh ones would make such a difference. Still, decent spot for a catch-up, wouldn&#39;t say no to going back. 😊

Chicken was proper good, staff sound. Retro decor gives it a bit of character. Price was fair for what you get. Solid enough spot for a feed.

Stopped in for dinner on a whim. Place was clean and the guy at the counter was sound. Got the burger, it did the job. Nothing fancy but you know, solid enough for what it is. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The lamb stew was spot on again&mdash;fall-apart tender, just like every other time I&#39;ve been here. That pie special was decent too, though the stew&#39;s the reason I keep coming back.

Popped in on a wet Monday and grabbed a flat white. Proper coffee, nice and warm in there too. The girl behind the counter was sound, didn&#39;t rush me at all. Price was fair, which is always a relief. Just what I needed to get out of the rain for a bit.

Stopped in for breakfast and honestly the food was solid. Got a bit of a mix-up with the order but the staff sorted it out quick enough, no drama. Place looks lovely, especially near the windows with the morning light coming in. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The seafood risotto was the standout&mdash;prawns, mussels, and monkfish all cooked properly. Rich base, not too heavy. Cocktails were decent too. One of the better spots around for that dish.

Stumbled in here on a Tuesday night and it was packed. Live music was just starting up, proper cozy vibe. Staff were sound, got me a pint quick enough. Didn&#39;t try the food but the quiz night they had on looked like a laugh. Decent spot if you&#39;re after a proper local.

Been coming here for a while now, and the Beamish is always spot on. Never had a bad pint, which is saying something. Food&#39;s decent too, the comfort stuff hits the spot when you need it. Caught a rugby match here last week, good craic. Place gets busy but it&#39;s part of the charm. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a proper pint without any fuss.

Solid spot for a quick bite. Got the pasta, it did the job. Place was busy so service was a bit slow, but the food came out alright. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area.

Been coming here on and off for the past year. The steak was cooked exactly how I asked, medium rare, and the chips were proper crispy. Place gets busy around 7 so you might wait a bit for a table, but it&#39;s worth it. Same quality every single time, that&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Solid whiskey selection here. Tried a peated Islay I&#39;d never heard of and the bartender knew exactly how to talk about it. Outdoor seating was a bonus, though the street noise got a bit much.
