After leaving ‘The Islanders Rest Bar’ the stag group all headed to this bar. It was very convenient because i felt i could nearly jump into my tent from the front door of the pub! There was people sitting on the benches outside when we arrived there. The place was packed inside. There was not a seat to be seen. I managed to get to the bar and ordered my drinks but the bar man forgot to serve me so i was waiting a while. To be fair even though the place was very busy the pints of Murphy’s were still reasonably good. The bar staff ran out of draught beer at one point during the night and were only serving bottles. There was a mighty sing song going on in the back section of the pub and thats where i found myself for most of the night. I even eventually got a seat for a while. There is a smoking area available out the back of the pub and there are also more benches here.
I know that they do food here but we didn’t try any. The toilets are located out the front door and in another door. The gents were in very poor condition it has to be said. There was no lights working in there for most of the night. To be fair we were all removed at a pretty reasonable time and managed to get some sleep before getting the ferry back the next morning and heading our seperate ways.
Toilet rating: 3/10
Pint rating: 7.5/10
Overall rating: 7.5/10
This is a very popular pub and i enjoyed my visit. It is small but has a lot of character and there was a brilliant atmosphere there on our visit.
