BIG pub meals - very tasty! Watched the AB's demolish the French here, good night out :) Seems to be a bit of a locals pub, but worth a visit for a handle

We've been to this bar on quite a few occasions, and have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere (I'm surprised at myself not doing a review sooner!) The service is good, the choice of drinks is great and we love the atmosphere of the place. Sadly on this occasion the food was lacking and I've been thinking about how... More

I ate dinner at the Hennessy's Irish Pub when my friends were out somewhere else. Being alone and eating dinner here didn't feel awkward. The service was exceptional and the people were nice. I had an amazing chicken pasta and I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
