I love this place! I went there 3 times during my stay in Blackrock.
The location in beautiful, the food amazing and the service really nice.
I tried this very good salad (quinoa, broccoli, halloumi, feta, check peas…) and also a cheeseburger. Both rich and yummy!

High end gastro pub. Wide selection of beers and good food. Staff always very friendly and attentive. Cosy decor and live music on some nights but it’s low volume so no problem to still chat away
