| - This place has always had a special spot in my heart and in the hearts of most locals, it's old and rambly and comfortable like a real Irish pub ought to be. The layout, wrapping around the sunken level (my favourite) out to the terrasses and up to the stately polished bar on the second floor, gives the feeling of small rooms. Hurley's at times is shire-like with it's low stone walls, low red leather chairs, and corner couches lit with glowing gold globed chandeliers to give a warm not too dark but still romantic glow. Here yesterday I was happy peeping grey haired, soft spoken folks in close personal conversations over wine and pints, sitting right next to young professionals and even scruffy, paint splattered, uke-slinging internet nerds like us. The soup of the day was an unexpectedly delicious rice and chicken, and the deep fried mozzarella sticks and hot wings were piled high, crisp, fresh tasting and pub perfect.
