There's always guys in soccer jerseys (celtic anyone?) and girls with belts as skirts hanging around outside, usually with a bottle of blue wkd hanging out of their hands. Also, there's always a group of what looks like underagers hanging around the back entrance, having a cheeky smoke where there parents cant see them if they drive by. Classy joint? I think not.

The inside is welcoming, dark but not too dark, spacious, with most tables set into 'cubby' areas, which seat about 10. Pricing was totally standard, but the service was grumpy. I wouldn't make an effort to 'go' here, but it's grand if you're just passing.

Not knowing Bray well at all, we strolled down the seafront and came across Jim Doyle's. It was warm and welcoming and a friendly waitress greeted the 3 kiddies with a smile - always promising!! The kids shared 2 portions of homemade chicken goujons and fries and my friend and I had a bowl of really tasty and delicious homemade vegetable soup, and a chicken Caesar salad. The salad was nice but not the best I've had. Raw peppers have no place in a Caesar salad in my opinion, but the bacon was crisp, the chicken marinated and delicious and the dressing (on the side of course) was fresh and flavoursome. The kids goujons were absolutely gorgeous, clearly freshly made, crisp breadcrumb coating and nothing but chicken fillet inside. I'd visit again when I am in the area, they had quite an extensive menu.

I had the temerity to request that the volume on the commentary be turned on ( this was in the back of the bar). After waiting for 5 mins I asked the bartender. He snapped back in a very ungracious manner that " he was busy " .This sentiment was also echoed by a waitress who was behind the bar. Her tone was as rude as the bartender. Keep in mind that the bar was not even half full at the time. Anyway , another few minutes elapsed before finally getting some commentary on the game. I finished my pint and departed. Won't be coming back anytime soon ...certainly if those very ignorant members of staff are behind the bar. I doubt by their conduct and attitude that either member of staff would care about that but possibly the people who put up the capital for this business might. The price of alcohol in pubs has gotten so expensive . It might behove those people employed in the bar trade keep that in mind. Customers don't need to be treated in such a rude and ignorant manner( as I was today) and pay 7.30 for a pint.

There's no music and the TVs only get turned on when there's an important sporting event. As traditional, it's divided into a bar area and lounge, with a heated smoking area out the back. Great pints and very professional staff. The pricing is fair and they'll whip you up a toasted sandwich if peckish. Very sorry to no longer live near by.
