This comes in two bits, a teeny wee lounge with a restricted list of beers 
and wallmeringuing, and a big bar with a good deal more beers, but 
unfortunate orange artexing on the walls. Mercifully this is mostly 
covered up by posters connected with Irish literature. The Flann O'Brien 
picture mentioned below is printed next to a verse from "The Workman's 
Friend", which is appropriate.

Most of the stuff on the jukebox that gets played in the evening is Irish, 
as are the two older barmen.

Morrells Varsity in here used to be the definitive pint for me, but now 
it's a bit different. Not sure as to whether this is an effect of the 
change of brewery. I don't wish to encourage the drinking of synthetic 
cider, but if you have to, this place does four separate ones - Dry 
Blackthorn, Strongbow, Old Rosie, and Blackthorn Cidermaster, which Elaine 
tells me is stronger and sweeter than average.

Good minestrone soup, huge amounts of garlic bread, and a decent helping 
of chips are all available at lunchtime, only marred by Brookes types in 
bodywarmers smoking. Butter from those wee foil packets unfortunately.
