    Authentically Irish. Nice, cosy and snug environment, makes me feel like I'm back in the mother country ! Love the traditional Irish meals! Hot, flavoursome and filling!

    Pub meals with an Irish theme. Right in the heart of Sydney CBD. Great for people watching. Generic and boutique beers on tap. Open 24 hours.

    Love the monday special, steak and fries for $15. Go for the peppercorn sauce and medium rare cooked, if you ask for medium it will come nearly well done.

    Came here on St Pats day and it was incredible. The Steak & Guinness Pie was to die for and the service was impeccable.

    Came here for the Euro Soccer first thing in the morning (5am). They were prompt to open, dimmed the lights and did basic bar service.
