Firstly there were two televisions blaring at either end of the bar which were a visual and an aural distraction to those trying to engage in conversation. I was bitterly disappointed with the dreadful collapse of these qualities when I brought a friend there to show what a real Dublin pub was like.
I the past it was renowned for very good beer, great conversation and courteous, professional staff who were trained bartenders.
I recently had occasion to visit this once highly regarded establishment.
