The Harp Bar is the last pub we visited in Cahersiveen. Jen told me that she was in the nightclub part of this venue before. I have previously reviewed a pub of the same name in Cork. We walked into the bar and found the place almost empty bar the man serving and a few people he was chatting to. It is a very small bar and it certainly wouldn’t take many peole to fill it. I ordered my pint of Guinness and Jen got a diet coke. The pint was probably the least enjoyable i had all night. I asked the man at the bar for some peanuts but he informed me that they had sold out during the busy christmas period! He gave us a complimentary bowel of Pringles to let us nibble at. It was too quiet at times and i felt that the people at the other side of the bar could hear every thing we were saying. A few more people came in after a while and one of the older men commented on how quiet it was now and how busy it was going to get. We were joined on our seat by a Jack Russell dog who fell asleep after being fed and was silently passing wind!
I walked to the toilet out through the corridor. It is small enough and has a very old fashioned style to it. It was very clean it has to be said. The Harp Bar was not at all what i had expected. They were just starting to collect money at the door for the nightclub as we were leaving. It is a modern pub and i think that we experienced one extreme and the other is when you cannot move inside.
Toilet rating: 7.5/10
Pint rating: 6/10
Overall rating: 6/10
Final comment: The Harp Bar is small but is a cosy enough place for a drink. I can’t comment on the nightclub but i am sure that it could be a fun place to visit.
no way man
