Visited this Irish pub in Alicante with my daughter. The beer was great, but the cocktails were a bit too strong for her liking. It’s a very spacious place, though it could definitely use a bit of TLC — the dust was thick enough to notice even from where we were sitting. The toilets were clean, which is always a plus, and there’s an upstairs area with a pool table, though it wasn’t particularly tidy (perhaps because it’s October and a quieter time of year). There’s also a small outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your drinks. Overall, an okay experience — plenty of space and good beer, but the place could do with a proper clean and a bit of care to make it feel more welcoming.
