A typical Irish pub.. good food with cold Guinness available on tap. Great to watch the live sports events on tv.

African Rhino TravelFebruary 2, 2012I would strongly recommend the curry, but the hamburger and basket of chips are good too, of course coupled with a Forester's or Ferryman's or Bosun's AleUpvoted Jan 26
Amanda ThauNovember 23, 2016Good place to grab a beer and some quick appetizers. Nice courtyard out back.
Beatrice ChanSeptember 7, 2013You can sit outside even when it is cold as they have heaters. Big screen for sports games. Live band after 9pm
- Andre HauptfleischApril 22, 2012The perfect place for an ale in winter. Sit inside next to the cosy fireplace.

Ivan CrossJuly 16, 2011- Elton HardingMarch 27, 2011If you have kids - it's one of the few places with a play area at the Waterfront
Kevin LeeOctober 20, 2013You can't order kids portions if you're an adult, the kitchen can't do it, it's literally impossible
NezzAugust 14, 2011Accounts of the food being average/not exciting : unfortunately correct. Nice setting upstairs though!
- 300g Rump Steak & Chips + Pint of Black Label for R85
Gary CJuly 3, 2011Yup great if you need a play area for kids. But food not so great. Beer fortunately can't be messed up
Stephanie ZanettiOctober 27, 2013Be very careful in the ladies toilet, they put the hand dryer right at the door so you get smacked with the door when someone opens it while you are drying your hands. A real hazard!
Shelton TimmFebruary 5, 2016Service is very bad... get more people to serve customers, #goodforsales
