I continued my beer research with a Murphys Stout and a Harp lager. The food was fine. The icing on the cake was the live music. This is a great way to spend an evening.

This place was 'suggested' as part of the bus tour I had booked to the Cliffs of Mordor. I was…read morereticent to accept this place, as often times a 'recommended' place is merely a partnership with a certain location, due to their ability to accommodate for space, and ordering ahead always seems like a mistake to me. So initially, I passed and planned to eat elsewhere. But after doing my walkabout, I decided to come here after all, and managed to avoid sitting with the tour group and sat at the cool kids' table and chatted with the guide and the driver. They knew the barkeep/server by name; she was extremely friendly and cheerful. I had the fish chowder and it hit the spot. Seemed a little pricy, but it was of quality and it's in a tourist town, so what you gonna do?

It was gone 9pm when we got into Cruises and we were a tad worried they would have stopped serving food but the lovely waitress informed us that they we all good to go and quickly took our order of two Irish stews, a Guinness and a wine. The food came out quickly and pipping hot! It was everything we wanted it to be - plenty of meat, veg and 2 different types of potato! YES. My only negative would be that it needed a bit more juice to it. I ended up asking for some extra gravy but my gosh, I'm glad I did. Possibly the best gravy I've ever had. It was a rich, and thick red wine gravy. It was amazing and when mixed in with the stew, I was in true Irish heaven. Pass me the bread it's time to mop this up! Alex then fancied a dessert and opted for the crumble. I had a spoonful or two and I must say it was very nice. Not usually my kind of dessert but it was sweet and the ice cream creamy. Very nice. The pub itself is very traditional Irish, they had live music playing and the atmosphere and decor was warming with the dark woods and warming fire. Lovely. Overall we had a lovely evening and the bill came to just €35. Bargain.

Well known as a trad pub with great live music at the weekends. Last time I was in there saw a band called araby do a version of florence and the machines cosmic love and honestly thought it was a cd. Great atmosphere especially at weekends and it stays open late. Along with knoxs it would probably be the most consistently busy pub in ennis. Also the crowd is slightly older as most of the young ones head into the nightclub. Well worth a visit when in ennis

You won't find anyone in sequins and high heels in here. The average age is probably about 50, they're all from the local farms and have probably never left Ireland in their lives.
