Step inside here, and you could be forgiven for thinking you are back in auld Erin. A friendly, relaxed atmosphere evokes Ireland through the use of Irish street signs and the country's national colours. There are a couple of bars, and the individual booths allow a conversation to take place despite the buzz. There is often live music. The winter Sunday roast (two courses AUD12.50, or three at AUD15) is popular, but many also seem to like the Guinness pie at AUD11. The selection of beers on tap is impressive, and lovers of the real Irish stout will not be disappointed.
