The outside might be a bit shabby (and certainly the surrounding area looks pretty grim) but inside the Harp is lively place. Perhaps compensating for the locale, the interior is brightly painted and that seems to reflect the mood of the place. The service is friendly and attentive and the Guinness is what you'd expect from a place called "Harp of Erin". We don't know what it's like on a Friday and Saturday night, but during the week it's a pretty hospitable place to be.
