Been coming here for a while now, and the Beamish is always spot on. Never had a bad pint, which is saying something. Food&#39;s decent too, the comfort stuff hits the spot when you need it. Caught a rugby match here last week, good craic. Place gets busy but it&#39;s part of the charm. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a proper pint without any fuss.

Solid spot for a quick bite. Got the pasta, it did the job. Place was busy so service was a bit slow, but the food came out alright. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area.

The lamb was tender and properly seasoned, no fuss. Room was quiet enough to actually enjoy it. Service got a bit lost at the end, but they were slammed.

Been coming here on and off for the past year. The steak was cooked exactly how I asked, medium rare, and the chips were proper crispy. Place gets busy around 7 so you might wait a bit for a table, but it&#39;s worth it. Same quality every single time, that&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The eggs benny with spinach never misses, and those roasted potatoes with hollandaise are proper good. Pastries are the real draw here though.

The cod was done right, flaky and tender. The ceviche crostini were a nice little starter, fresh and zingy. They give you proper homemade bread with farm butter, which I always appreciate. Portion sizes were decent for the price, not huge but fair. Felt like they actually put thought into the menu. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Popped in for a glass of wine and ended up staying for a bite. The food was decent, but the prices felt a bit steep for the portion sizes. Nice spot though, if you&#39;re not starving.

Solid whiskey selection here. Tried a peated Islay I&#39;d never heard of and the bartender knew exactly how to talk about it. Outdoor seating was a bonus, though the street noise got a bit much.

The mix doner platter was a proper feast&mdash;lamb and chicken both tender, plenty of flavour. Sides were decent too. Finished with tiramisu, which was nicely balanced, not too sweet. Prices felt fair for what you get. Only thing is the place gets busy, so you might wait a bit for a table.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Place has a decent vibe, staff were sound. Got the ribs though and they were a bit of a letdown&mdash;pretty bland, barely any sauce on them. Maybe I just picked wrong, but I&#39;d probably try something else next time.

Full Irish breakfast came out hot and quick, on proper warm toast. That&#39;s exactly what you want on a cold morning. Staff were sound, no fuss. Place is small but has a decent buzz to it. I&#39;d say it&#39;s a solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and need something filling without the wait.

The chicken Maryland is still as good as ever &mdash; proper old-school takeaway feel. Glad the new owner kept things simple.

Been coming here for a while now, and the chimichanga never lets me down. Got the pollo with mushrooms and sauce this time too, still solid. Place gets a bit loud inside, but the music keeps it lively. Good spot if you know what you&#39;re after.

The tagliatelle al rag&ugrave; was proper Italian, not the usual tourist stuff. Reminded me of my nonna&#39;s cooking. Pasta had the right bite.

Stopped in for a late lunch and the lamb really caught my attention &mdash; cooked properly, still juicy, not overdone like most places do it. Staff were sound, no fuss. Menu&#39;s simple enough, nothing fancy, but that&#39;s grand. Place has a relaxed vibe, though it did get a bit busy around 1. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back for that lamb again.

Stopped in before a show at the Opera House. Place was packed but they found us a table anyway. Had the pizza and fajitas, both were decent. Service was quick and the staff were sound. Nothing fancy but it did the job for a pre-theatre feed.

The Penne Arrabbiata here is proper comfort food&mdash;you can tell they don&#39;t mess around with the ingredients. I popped in on a Saturday evening and there was live jazz playing, which made the whole place feel a bit special. Only thing is it got fairly busy, so we waited a little longer for the food. Still, I&#39;d go back for that pasta.

The lamb shank was the standout &mdash; fell right off the bone, proper rich gravy. Had the chowder first, decent enough but a bit thin. Waiter mixed up our order but honestly didn&#39;t care, the main dish made up for it. Would go back just for that lamb.

Popped in after wandering around the city centre, near the English Market. Got the food hot and brought over, which was a nice change from the usual counter pickup. Self-order kiosks are handy enough. Tables were a bit sticky though, could do with a wipe. Fine for a quick bite.

Taco fries were solid, really tasty. Chicken shawarma&#39;s pretty basic though, mostly purple cabbage, but still good. That 2-for-1 kebab deal between 12 and 4 is the real winner. Can&#39;t argue with that price.

Loved watching the chefs at the open kitchen while we waited. Wood-fired pizza was solid, though the place got a bit loud by the end. Staff were friendly enough without hovering.

Stopped in for a late lunch and went straight for the fish and chips. Massive portions, the batter was properly crispy and the fish was flaky. Mussels were fresh too, no complaints there. Place was busy but we got a table quick enough. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try more of the menu.

The falafel bowl and flatbread were both really tasty, loved how fresh the veggies were. Great spot for a lighter meal with friends, though it did get a bit busy.

Came back here again last week&mdash;still my go-to spot for a proper pint. Guinness was spot on, and the live music had the whole place singing. Staff remembered me too, which never hurts.

Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The bar itself has a proper old-school feel, wooden stools and all. Service was friendly without hovering. Just a decent spot to sit with a pint and not be rushed.

The tandoori chicken special with Indian fried rice was a decent feed for the price. Portion was fair, didn&#39;t leave hungry. Service was quick enough too.

Handled our group of 10 no bother, even with kids and a coeliac. Butter chicken was the standout. Service kept up the whole night.

Great coffee and they actually have oat milk, which is handy. Sandwiches are decent for a quick bite. The space itself is pretty snug though, not much room to spread out if you&#39;re staying a while.

The slow-roasted lamb was decent, but honestly the portions are what sold me. Generous for the price, and the chicken curry was a solid pick too.
