Quick info
About Smokies
On Great Charlotte Street, Smokies is a Wild West themed bar built around karaoke and live entertainment. A compere runs the karaoke, bringing regulars up to sing multiple songs at a time, and live music also features on the bill, loud enough at points to make conversation difficult. The bar serves draught drinks and Guinness, and it draws stag and hen parties for its themed setting. There is no reservation system, guests walk in, and the doors open daily rather than on set nights. The atmosphere runs lively throughout, matching the entertainment-first format of the venue.

Customer Review Summary
Karaoke draws most visitors, with reasonably priced Guinness and draught drinks and a lively atmosphere reviewers repeatedly praise, alongside friendly staff. One reviewer, though, describes the karaoke host favoring regulars with multiple songs while ignoring newcomers, calling it ignorant and vowing not to return if he's hosting again. Live music was called very good, though one visitor found it too loud for afternoon chat.

“Although the atmosphere and bar staff were as good as you would expect the guy doing the Kareoke was absolutely awful, he had his regulars on singing 3 songs at a time and didn't entertain anybody he didn't know which to say the least was ignorant and poor for all of the people who turn up on a whim expecting to be treated the same ! Will not be back if this guy is on again”
- Andrew Hynes
“Excellent atmosphere and great prices for your draught drinks. Reminds me of times gone by when you could have a drink and a good laugh. Live music was very good albeit a bit too loud for the afternoon and for chat. Definitely visit again.”
