Lemon Tree for lunch is a pretty good deal I think. Wonderful waiting staff!*ahem* Anyways, there's live local younger bands on thursdays, blues/acoustic live music on fridays and live jazz on sunday. (Avoid saturdays like the plague, it's family saturday and scores of wee kids running around.) Lunch served between 12-2.30 but we're open til 4ish. Menu varies between baked potatoes/sandwiches/soups to roasts and basically anything else.

Prince of Wales is a perfect pub just for a natter, despite it being the haunt of my dad and his cronies. Ma's is good too, unless there's been a football match on.

I would agree that the lemon tree is a splended place to go at lunchtimes, especially thursdays, for the Thursday live, there are always good bands playing, and the food is stupendous.

The globe is also very good, been in there a few times, before going to see gigs/shows

It's funny you should say that...UFB sponser Thursday Lunches...I don't suppose it's a coincidence...?

ki:lau is the best coffee shop ever (they do good smoothies and crepes too)

hmm i went to the prince of wales, wasnt anything exciting.
was a quite nice place though

That's the beauty of The Prince of Wales, there's no music,no tvs, just chatter. It's a good old fashioned pub and they're in short supply. Doesn't hurt that it's damned cheap and there always seems to be someone I know in there.

[catherine]

suppose its cause im used to the weatherspoons in my town. which is the same, no music, always someone you know there, cheap drinks, lovely food
so prince of wales was a duller verison

My good lady and I went upstairs at O' Neills the other week after the EF gig because there was a huge queue at Exodus, great music but a bizarre hotchpotch! No keeping the era's or genres together there! Nice one...

I've been tempted but i can't imagine there's many young people there.
