Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the welcome, describing friendly locals, friendly staff and good craic on every visit. One says they would challenge anyone claiming to have felt unwelcome. The pool table comes up repeatedly, with one reviewer calling it the best, and a returning drinker praises the good prices and says they always stop in when back home. A couple mention sentimental value and good memories from years past. The off sales gets its own comments: one calls it decent, another describes lovely staff in the off license, and one names it a favourite wee drive through. On the downside, one reviewer says the pub would benefit from an update, and another misses two former staff members who have left. The strongest detail comes from a reviewer who singles out the Heineken 5L beer keg as a standout buy.
