Reviews
This is a really interesting pub that looks and feels incredibly chic. It’s in a very convenient location right near the highway and a major hotel, making it easy to get to. They have an excellent selection of drinks on the menu. The ambiance and general design of the place are top-notch, the vibe gives off a premium feel that makes you want to hang out there. I thought the pricing is quite steep for Albania, but, because the atmosphere is so nice, it still feels somewhat worth it. The biggest surprise was that it seems to be highly seasonal. Despite it being a warm Friday night in mid-June, the place was dead. Definitely worth a stop if you want a stylish setting and a great drink menu, just be prepared for unpredictable crowd levels depending on the season!
Great Pub! Very stylish and open. The atmosphere was awesome. Food and drinks were priced well. Afterwords, Dorian took us home! I’ve never been to a pub where one of the bartenders takes you home, which was so hopefully and great!
We found this gem of a bar by chance when googling the surrounding area while on holiday. The bar was amazing but what made it was the owner and staff who couldn’t do enough for you. We had food prepared for us which was so tasty but because the bar didn’t do pizzas the owner phoned a pizza for us and had it delivered to the bar for us to have. The hospitality is second to none and would definitely come back to this bar in the future.
The best Irish pub in the world😊 Dorian, Donald and the lovely female bartender couldn't have done more for us. The pints were so good we woke up thirsty for them every morning. Amazing music and atmosphere and great to have darts and pool without any charge. Would recommend anyone to visit🍻
Five stars all the way. Super friendly. Donald picked us up from our hotel to save us the taxi. Elvi the super friendly bar tender looked after us. We had the bar meal of french fries and sausage, prepared by the other friendly bar man Dorian, it was so filling, we struggled to finish it. Thoroughly recommended. Although we came in early off season on a Monday night it was very welcoming. Best bar and most welcoming we have seen in Albania.
