This place is a favorite of both locals and tourists alike. That might have something to do with the bang-on Guinness, their selection of more than a dozen drafts, their surprisingly tasty food (including a sausage roll!). Maybe it’s the undeniably interesting room, charmingly askew or the bar staff who could be described likewise. Is it the nightly 4am closing time–a boon to those of us who’ve spent time behind the stick? Could it be that work authored by the bar’s namesake, Jonathan Swift is simply a stronger draw than anyone could have imagined? Or maybe it's just the live Irish music.
The vibe: Friendly, with professional bartenders.
The food: Surprisingly tasty food (including a sausage roll).
The drink: A selection of more than a dozen drafts.
Time Out Tip: I recommend a visit featuring both good conversation and Irish Coffee.
