Large Irish pub near Seven Kings station. There are some picnic benches out the front of the venue on a narrow strip along its length. Inside it is quite dark, with a black painted wood flooring. The venue is divided into a left and a right-hand side. The left-hand side of the venue was closed off on my visit; suspect it is in play during much busier times but looked similar and had a bar counter on its left-hand side with the same quaffs on offer. The main bar counter on the right-hand side of the venue is along the right-hand wall and there is tall stool seating along the length of the bar counter. The bar back is an illuminated cabinet holding the spirits collection and is nicely lit. Plenty of screens mostly showing the racing action absent commentary, the sound provided by a low volume Irish orientated music soundtrack. Seating a mix of barrels with tall stools and regular tables and chairs in the front part of this side. The rear of this side has another bar counter in the left-hand corner offering the same taps as in the front bar and is more spacious with tall stools at the bar counter some more barrel tables in the middle of the floor space in front of it and a dark green studded banquette in the rear right-hand corner. There is a stage on the rear wall, but also hosting a large screen on the wall behind it and also tuned into the racing action. As you might expect shed loads of Irish memorabilia on the walls. Enjoyed my pint of Guinness in here and would be a good spot to catch the racing action on a big day.
