Lovely for any situation, a quiet pint after a movie, or a night out at Christmas. Crowd is a perfect mix of old and young when it's busy, and I've been going here since I was young kid buying bacon fries and playing hide and seek in the back. Grand pint of guinness and even a few cocktails and shots. Classic Mallow pub.

Her only complaint was that it had a pea purée bed under the fish and it made the bottom a little soggy. We finished with a pear tart and ice cream dessert and it was yummy as well. Beers were the traditional offerings on tap. Prices weren't bad either - what one would expect after a couple days in Ireland.

Finally, our food was served and we were completely forgotten. We had to ask multiple times for the dessert that was included on our kids' meals. Staff was rude and indifferent. We are visiting from abroad so we don't have to worry about this dining option ever again. However, this review might help tourists or locals avoid a similarly awful experience. The beer was fine, at least.

We were immediately greeted and placed drink orders. I had the espresso martini. This was not your typical espresso martini it was so good and very very strong. For dinner I ordered the Guinness pie and my Friend got the seafood pie. Both were delicious but the Guinness pie was exceptional. I love to share food but did not want to share this. I wanted to savor every bite. O ate the entire pie and its was huge but so good. Couldn't pass up sticky toffee pudding and my goodness am o glad I somehow managed to find the room. One of the best desserts I've ever had so good I could've shed a tear. Can't wait to visit again.
