The Flora

It's definitely a student bar, but we were visiting my daughter who is a student. Not a bad size inside, but the outdoor space is limited. The bar staff are nice when you get chatting to them, but they all look pretty weary otherwise. I guess that's because of the crowd, but more smiles would be lovely. One tip for all bar staff - when I used to do the same job in my youth (at a very busy bar), I would absolutely know the order in which people had arrived. I didn't need to ask the punters "who's next?" Tension builds when you're stuck at one end of a bar and others find some fast track approach to diving in and receiving service before you do. It's a simple thing to master, but really helps with crowd management.

Well last Sunday was one of the loveliest I can remember for a long time. A Sunday lunch at the flora was a delight from start to finish. Our serve, Claudia, was charming, helpful, and couldn’t do enough to help us. Bar staff were lovely, Jack included. Will definitely be back soon. Claudia and Jack long overdue a raise!!

Enjoyed a fantastic night here recently. Really great music, super energy and great overall vibe. Food selection was unexpected but exceptional and great value for money. Range of beers was excellent and the staff were amazing —friendly, efficient and great craic. Pub decor is modern eclectic, with plenty of seating and clean heated bathrooms. Highly recommend it!
