What the guides say

“Awarded its Tavern license in 1630, White’s has spent the past centuries pouring pints, and even its alleyway (“Winecellar Entry”) takes its name from a legacy of alcohol merchants.”

Condé Nast Traveller (#10) ↗

“The interior of White’s features exposed wooden beams, a rustic open fireplace along with weathered-walls adorned with vintage photographs and antique signs, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere.”

The Irish Road Trip ↗

“Whites or Sweet Afton probably best for the Open.”
