Probably dating back to the 18th century, this building has an intact bar from 1946 with the walls covered in murals of Pickwick-ian characters painted by J. V. Gilroy of Guinness advertising fame. The curving bar counter, bar back and marble and wood surround fireplace all date from this time (as does the stuffed bear say bar staff !). The public bar has its own separate entrance at the far left of the hotel. Another small bar, now for food service , is from the 1950s. Splendid early 20th century stone fireplaces can be found throughout the hotel, along with parquet floors and a carved wood fireplace. The main gents retains old massive urinals.
