O'Connell's

You'll find this proper Irish boozer right in the heart of town on Bedford Street, where the Guinness flows as freely as the craic. The kind of place where you pop in for a quick pint after work and somehow end up closing the joint on a Friday night, especially when there's live music echoing off the dark wood panelling. The food here does the job brilliantly – think proper pub classics like fish and chips, burgers, and Sunday roasts that won't break the bank. It's got that authentic Irish pub atmosphere that feels genuine rather than put-on, helped by staff who actually seem to enjoy working there. Whether you're catching the match on one of their screens or settling in for a proper session with mates, O'Connell's delivers exactly what you want from a town centre boozer.
