"I wish it were possible for everyone to experience the hell that is most American themed restaurants in the UK to get an idea of the hell that is most Irish bar experiences here. \n\nWe were in the area, far away from the usual cider tap and couldn't wait the extra 15 minutes to get to somewhere we like. (silly) I started with a potato and leek soup with a pretty uneven consistency when blended,a touch above bland but it's my fault I should have checked to see if it was cream based/ blended over containing visible leeks / potatoes in a veg stock as usually the leek flavor tends to get lost but it was edible and set expectations for the entr\u00E9e. Out of a very limited number of dishes that you could shoe-horn into being a friend of a friend of Irish food I chose \nIrish Stew with Guinness.\n\nIt was pretty generous but for stewed meat it wasn't that tender and hard to discern the presence of the featured ingredient.\n\nOnly one cider available, Magners , look at sign, look at decor which for a moment had confused me into thinking it was an Irish pub. - * \n\n Service was good,2.5 rounded down to 1 because it's pricey for the what you get and not that well executed at that. \n\nMaybe Yelp should have aggregate marks for bar/ restaurants and then a combined total because it's possible to be a good one of the former while lagging in the latter."^^ . .
