Stopped in for a bite to eat, always a pleasure and great to see things back to normal, burger and chips really homemade and really tasty, not overly expensive, I like Paris texas, fine selection of draught beers from around the world, fantastic top shelf, great atmosphere in the marble city. Stop in, you won't be disappointed.

My first Jambalaya and first Mescal, the Keylime pie was good too. The Staff here are excellent 👌

Louise B.

12:39 27 Feb 22

Exceptional service and wonderfully clean and stylish bar/restaurant. I tried their jambalaya and I was very happy with it. Outstanding jambalaya or jambalaya-inspired dishes aren’t very common in Ireland in my view so I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious theirs was. My jambalaya had a lovely smokiness to it and all the meats were well-seasoned and beautifully cooked – from the crawfish to the Andouille sausages. The heat and spiciness was also just right. We revisited this place and the atmosphere was buzzing and lively.
