Reviewed By Amyjeanos

My boyfriend and I visited this comedy club and it really was tiny! I would recommend coming early enough to make sure you have a comfy seat, as it really is small! The place was full and the atmosphere was great. The free pizza was from supermacs along with sausages and wedges (my boyfriend and I are vegan and were delighted to see wedges!) The host was absolutely hilarious, along with all the acts. Great value!

Reviewed By RyanTMayo - Western Ireland, Ireland

Beautiful, old school pub with regular trad sessions and a mix of regulars and visitors. Lovely atmosphere and traditional settings. Good selection of Irish whiskeys including a few local brands. Sad to see its doors shut due to covid but better times will come - and hopefully soon.

Reviewed By 827frankd - Newry, United Kingdom

Over fifty of us attended a performance of Atlantic Notes which is running very Tuesday night. We received excellent treatment from Róisín and her team. Everything we asked for was provided and the venue is really suitable for wheelchair users. We travel all over the country and this show rates as one of the best we have ever seen. Our members raved about it. The concept was simple but so professionally presented and all of the cast were superb. We had some people with us who had very seldom if ever been to the west of Ireland and we can assure you they are now determined to explore all the beautiful places they saw that night. Absolutely brilliant night. Could not say enough. Do not miss this show.
