What the guides say

“With live music six nights a week, you’re just as likely to stumble across a vintage folk session as you are a local grindcore act taking their first tentative steps…”

Time Out (#31) ↗

“Chuck in live music every week, sport on television and good Thai food in the garden, and you have everything that makes pubs indispensable.”

Condé Nast Traveller ↗

“Drop by for a sleepy Sunday night folk session, next to a crackling wood-burning stove.”

The Infatuation ↗

“I'd say Skehan's. It's a great spot for sport (mainly Irish rugby)and live music…”
