Okay dokey... Typical small port town pub. The "Inn" probably indicates there are rooms available, but I did not get that far. Please does not stand out in any of the qualities, atmosphere is alright. But... This is the last KARAOKE stand around. FRIDAYS. Make sure they either don't know you HERE or they won't remember, or you won't remember.... and GO FOR IT have FUN! Don't be surprised, lady DJ does not need microphone to be louder than music. GREAT CRAIC ...and I got my Guinness there!
