What People Say
Reviews on TripAdvisor and Opentable highlight the friendly service, generous portions, and solid beer selection. Travelers especially appreciate that the food is better than typical airport fare, with many noting the fish and chips and Guinness-braised beef as standouts. The pub-style décor and casual energy make it a go-to for those looking to unwind before their next event or flight.
Areas for Improvement
As with many airport spots, it can get busy during peak travel hours, which sometimes leads to slightly longer waits. Seating near the bar area can also get a bit noisy—not ideal if you're looking for a quiet bite. And while the menu is hearty, it may not suit diners seeking lighter or more adventurous options.
