Here's an Irish pub slightly different of the ones existing all around the world (at least the ones I know...).Beside the presence of huge tv screens proving the probably regular diffusion of rugby matches or other ball sports, entering this establishment, you don't have the feeling (at first sight) of being in a temple of Guiness and fries serverd with vinagre.
The menu revisits classic Irish dishes such as Fish'n Chips and those famous vinagre fries as well as Stew made of beer (Guiness, of course). The dishes are tasty and well served in a modern and nice place but also representing of the Irish culture as one can imagine it.
Indeed, the decor all in nooks keeps elements quite representative that can be found in lots of pubs such as comfy armchairs in brown leather and massive wooden tables, but also some objects more contemporary, the whole lot regouped in the half-douzain of rooms in this establishment bigger than it seems at first sight.
And, not to spoil the whole impression, the people are pretty friendly.
To resume, a welcoming place like a good pub should be where food is more than acceptable and smelling neither beer, smell of burnt fat nor smoke... That's a good change! I recommand this one.
