We booked a table for food and also had drinks prior to attending The Pogues Concert at the nearby 3 Arena. Everything was perfect and the crowd in the bar were all in great spirits waiting for the concert to begin. Service was excellent and the bar was playing Pogues music to get everyone on good tune for the concert.
