Nice local pub. Would be quite cozy in the winter. Also had a lovely patio for the summer. Many rooms and nooks to find a seat and have a chat. The staff were friendly.

Open mic was great. Mixture of entertainers including poets and violinist. Colin the host from the States was very good. Music area is small but intermate. There are other rooms if you don't want to listen. Good outdoor seating and toilets are outside. Bar staff and patrons all very friendly.
