One of the best known music pubs on the west coast, this intimate hostelry offers entertainment both upstairs and downstairs, seven nights a week. It’s a popular spot with those who like to play and those who like to listen, and the atmosphere is one that only a genuine ‘local’ can hope to create. Pull up a seat, sip on a pint of the black stuff, and enjoy the enchanting stories and songs around you. There aren’t many places quite like this.
