Lanigans Irish Bar

Friendly, lively atmosphere for a late afternoon drink. Irish sports icons on the walls. TV screens and no distractions of noisy background music. just the sound of people chatting which was a refreshing change.

Price of a drink not too badly priced Witch is a wonder .But on a busy night you can expect to wait 20.mins to get service

Personally mixed to be honest but, a beautiful bar with a brilliant variety!! (Photo for reference)There's loads to choose from and I am a fussy drinker. They didn't have my first choice of cider but, from what looks like being an independently owned place, they had something else to offer me and I wasn't disappointed. The views of the place are amazing and really shows the Irish heritage showing famous Irish singers, actors etc. The bar itself is familiar of being back in Ireland which is nice.From being here over the weekend, I have to say the entertainment was amazing and they're getting some brilliant bands in. We've only seen a couple but they got people dancing and moving which is what you want them to do. Personally, a bit on the louder side for me but that's my preference and not against the pub. I can't comment on food as we didn't have any so I'll leave that.Unfortunately, that's where a lot of this ends for the place. I have to say the level of drunkeness is abysmal!! People not being able to physically walk yet still being allowed past the bouncers and allowed to buy drinks at the bar, the management should be ashamed of themselves. They need to go back and redo their alcohol licence course as they clearly don't understand the duty of care managers need to have over their customers.The sheer smell of weed we've smelt over the weekend has been so ridiculous, and I have to say, when did it become legal for people to smoke Vape Pens indoors?? Because the amount of vape smoke blown in our faces has been unreal!!On the 2 occasions we've come down to 'try' and enjoy the live music we've had to leave and been so disappointed because all we're met with is vape smoke and over drunkeness abusing the bands ruining the nights but they seem to be the ones ruling the nights apparently, not the staff and bouncers.Finally, I will speak about the team, to have 7 staff serving 15 people is unheard of!! Being management I am conscious of the cost of running places and to have that many staff is just asking for you to shut the place down! I wouldn't mind having lots of staff but to be just standing at the bar talking to friends and walking away from customers, it's just ignorant and just shows that the team are not trained to talk or deal with customers if they just walk away when one comes to the bar??Personally, I don't feel comfortable coming back here as I feel all I'll be met with is vape smoke, unrulyness and insubordination. The team needs a massive re train on customer service and the management need to look at their P&L and reassess where they're loosing money!!

Great place to go and enjoy yourself. You will not be disappointed. Lively and fun

This is an amazing example of what a pub should be, welcomed by all, unreal live music and the nicest staff I would highly recommend this place.

Called in for a drink,bit expensive compared to some other bars but great atmosphere and live music.

Great place, great atmosphere. Lots of famous people pictured around the walls. very friendly staff. Can get very busy, but it is worth it .I would recommend it to everyone.
