Almost nothing about either of the previous reviews held true for me...but then again, both of those reviews were from over 3 years ago.
My experience at Fawls Off-License was very pleasant. It's merely a booze shop, with a decent (though by no means extensive or special) selection of bottles. The staff (Pauline) was extremely friendly, & was quick to help me find what I wanted, with friendly laughter & a genuine smile. The prices are what I expected, from a small privately owned shop.
Would I go back? If I was in the area & wanted to check on a bottle, sure! Is it worth going out of your way for? No, not at all. Like I said...the selection was rather underwhelming...and that's the only reason for my 4-star review. For a vast selection of rare & exceptional Irish whiskeys...honestly, I've rarely seen a shop that can match the selection at the Irish Whiskey Collection, which is run by The Loop (duty-free shop), in either the Dublin or Shannon Airports.
But as far as Fawls is concerned...not sure where the hate is coming from. 5-star service, with a 3-star selection. read more
