What People Are Saying About Bards

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – Professionals, university students, young and old--a mix of people that marks a good pub--are often seen grabbing a Guinness at the bar. A warm goat cheese salad with roasted walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette mixes well with fish-and-chips for lunch. Dinner offerings like Limerick ham or Bushmills barbecued salmon are filling choices. For a real belly buster, order the traditional Irish breakfat for brunch, complete with eggs, sausage, black-and-white pudding and baked beans.

Awesome Spot

by yayou

You want a great, low key, genuine pub? The Bards is it. The place is cozy (working fireplace in the winter), friendly staff who may play video games with you or just hang out and enjoy the bangers and mash. The Bards is a 180 from the Irish pub two doors down. The Bards offers a more genuine group of people who would would rather try to beat you at darts than hook up for the night (though not unheard of). Great beer selection and good pub/Irish food, this is a pub to no be missed.

  • Pros: atmosphere, seating, food, music, activities, people, staff
  • Cons: asshats from the Irish Pub next door leak in time to time

Great Breakfast spot!

by vendhaswater

Came here and ordered the Irish Breakfast, it was PERFECT! I had missed having some good black/white pudding! This is a GREAT dark pub! Perfect makeout table around the corner from the bar! Music.... not the best, but I'll forgive them. Great spot!

  • Pros: Good dark pub, semi-romantic, GREAT food!
  • Cons: music wasn't so great.
