The aesthetic appeal of this spot from the outside is something to be envied by other bars and establishments in Streetsville. Cuchulainn's has a great out door patio, open late even on early week summer nights.
Not to be picky but the inside I found to not match the exterior. Yes it was classically pub-like but I feel a face lift is in order as this place is starting to look a tiny bit
run down - however i believe its part of the appeal, and I liked it.
With 16 beers on tap I didn't honestly come here for the design or the patio (although I will reiterate that the patio is amazingly chill) I came for the brews. After hearing our bar maids run down of their on tap selection I decided on a pint of something new - a pint of Hoptical Illusion (yes that is the beers name). And the name did not disappoint, it was truly Hoppy indeed. In fact I would go as far as to say that it was the H-optimus Prime of hopped up beers in my hopper of beers I've tried..... HOP. It was an excellent brew and I surprisingly loved the tart complex taste (reminded me of an IPA I had while in San Francisco).
I didn't partake in their menu due to the late hour, but the brew has enticed me to return for another spell here and perhaps maybe nosh on a little something nice while I work my way through their selection.
