When drinking in this pub, it's quite easy to believe you are in Ireland (especially as there are few windows to see London through). The pub is huge and wood-panelled with open fires and plenty of knickknacks on the walls but this is no theme pub - it has a traditional two-room bar/lounge design, you have to wait the proper length of time for your Guinness and the emphasis is definitely on drinking. Most tellingly, virtually all of the staff and customers at our visit were Irish. Live music at the weekends and the food's decent too. Interestingly, they offer regular Salsa and Irish dance classes - we can understand the Irish dance classes, but Salsa?!? In this day and age, whatever works...

I had a quick pint and a sandwich in the Corrib Rest yesterday and it confirmed earlier impressions that it is a pretty decent pub. It certainly has a definite Irish feel to it, but even when the many TV screens are showing Ireland playing football or rugby, 'away' fans are welcomed. It is not a cheap pub, but I must give a big thumbs up to the small side salad accompanying my sandwich - it was so fresh and tasty I could almost have become a vegetarian.

I bought two sodas with a dash of lime and they charged me £5! A simple mistake by the barstaff I thought, but no the manager insisted "That's the price". I've been drinking lime and soda for many years in lots of central London pubs and never paid anything close to that price (even in the West End). A total rip-off. And unpleasant about it too.
