Great coffee and they actually have oat milk, which is handy. Sandwiches are decent for a quick bite. The space itself is pretty snug though, not much room to spread out if you&#39;re staying a while.

Great drinks list, proper range of whiskeys and gins. Staff actually knew what they were talking about when I asked for something different. Smart casual dress code, so don&#39;t rock up in trainers. Prices are a bit steep but you&#39;re paying for the vibe.

Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, really nice relaxed spot. Porridge was spot on, though I wish they&#39;d a better wine list to go with it. Still, great for a slow morning.

Cool spot with a proper urban feel. Been a few times now and the food holds up. Nice having the outdoor bit out back too. Good wine list to work through.

Seafood chowder was spot on. Loads of fresh fish, proper hot, and the brown soda bread was class. Cozy enough spot for lunch.

The trad music and general buzz in here made it feel like a proper Irish pub. Guinness was poured well and the spice bag had a decent kick. Seats near the window were a bit tight though.

The Guinness game pie was proper comfort food&mdash;lovely mix of veg and rich gravy. Just a bit of a draft near the door, but the cosy vibe made up for it.

The coffee&rsquo;s decent but nothing to write home about. The free chocolate with your drink is the real winner though&mdash;always makes me stop in when I&rsquo;m passing.

The smoked duck breast was spot on&mdash;properly pink, decent fat render, and that cherry glaze actually cut through instead of just sitting there sweet. Cocktail list looked interesting but I stuck with a pint. Portion size was fair for the price. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back just for that duck again.

Been coming here for a while now and the steak sandwich keeps me coming back. Thick slices of beef, proper gravy, and that portobello mushroom on top just works. Loaded fries are decent too but the sandwich is the one I always order. Still as good as the first time I had it.

Been coming here for a while now, and the fish and chips never let me down. Cod&#39;s always flaky, batter stays crisp without being greasy. Kids&#39; meal deal is decent too, keeps the little ones happy without breaking the bank. Portions are fair for what you pay. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you get what you pay for.

The lamb stew was spot on again&mdash;fall-apart tender, just like every other time I&#39;ve been here. That pie special was decent too, though the stew&#39;s the reason I keep coming back.

Popped in on a wet Monday and grabbed a flat white. Proper coffee, nice and warm in there too. The girl behind the counter was sound, didn&#39;t rush me at all. Price was fair, which is always a relief. Just what I needed to get out of the rain for a bit.

The castle view from our table was unreal &mdash; proper postcard stuff. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but you&#39;re really paying for the setting. Enjoyed it though.

The lamb was tender and properly seasoned, no fuss. Room was quiet enough to actually enjoy it. Service got a bit lost at the end, but they were slammed.

The eggs benny with spinach never misses, and those roasted potatoes with hollandaise are proper good. Pastries are the real draw here though.

The lamb shank was the standout &mdash; fell right off the bone, proper rich gravy. Had the chowder first, decent enough but a bit thin. Waiter mixed up our order but honestly didn&#39;t care, the main dish made up for it. Would go back just for that lamb.

Stopped in for a late lunch and went straight for the fish and chips. Massive portions, the batter was properly crispy and the fish was flaky. Mussels were fresh too, no complaints there. Place was busy but we got a table quick enough. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try more of the menu.

Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The bar itself has a proper old-school feel, wooden stools and all. Service was friendly without hovering. Just a decent spot to sit with a pint and not be rushed.

Lovely spot for catching up with friends over a few drinks. The interior is really nice, warm lighting and all that. Service was spot on too, never had to wait long to order. Only thing is it got a bit loud later in the evening, but that&#39;s kind of expected. Would definitely come back with the girls 👍

Lamb shank was spot on. Owner knew his stuff about the local food, that was a nice touch. Service was grand, not in your face.

Stopped in for the steak sandwich with chips and peppercorn sauce. It was gorgeous, exactly what I needed. Staff were friendly enough, no complaints there. Place had a decent buzz about it, not too loud. Solid spot if you&#39;re after a casual bite, I&#39;d say. Might be back again sometime.

Stopped in for a club sandwich and a smoothie. Sandwich was solid, chicken was fresh. Staff were sound, had a bit of a chat while I was waiting. Place was busy enough for a Tuesday. Smoothie was cold and thick, just what I needed. Might head back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Early bird menu is decent value, food came out quick enough. Staff left us alone which I appreciate. Place had a nice buzz even on a quiet evening.

The seafood risotto was the standout&mdash;prawns, mussels, and monkfish all cooked properly. Rich base, not too heavy. Cocktails were decent too. One of the better spots around for that dish.

Solid spot for a quick bite. Got the pasta, it did the job. Place was busy so service was a bit slow, but the food came out alright. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area.

Solid whiskey selection here. Tried a peated Islay I&#39;d never heard of and the bartender knew exactly how to talk about it. Outdoor seating was a bonus, though the street noise got a bit much.
