The Strand Bar (CLOSED)

What a night last night for the ireland match. The owner put on a free bbq and reduced prices on all the drink. The place was buzzing. Great craic, great staff and great food. A great time had by all. Beats saint matthews hands down.

The owner of this bar is a gentleman and bar staff are lovely.Nice bar just to have a few drinks with friends

Looking forward to preforming fund raising event here on the last SAT...of Sept .2011...it will be a great night Very nice owwners and I wish them well.

Very relaxed atmosphere at weekends particularly saturday nights. Group who play on Saturday nites are very good I think they are called Blarney. They cater for all tastes well worth listening to.

i think it is great to see a well respeced man in the area do this. although i dont like the way under age teens drink in it at the weekend and the fighting out the front is disgracful at times hope the bar does well when its all finished and good luck

drinks resonably priced, good service, cosy and warm, always a bit of craic and banter plenty of entertainment at weekends from tradional music till whatever u want on the jukebox well stocked off-licence get spot for parties upstairs

have never been in the bar at all but have heard good remarks about it. the bar seems to cater for young people who when they have a few drinks feel like fighting the world-fights spill out onto the streets. also almost every weekend it seems like the dj who plays there is in my bedroom the music is thump thump thump the bar could do with some sound proofing.

but i would still like to check this place out as everybody is talking about the lovely food and upstairs is perfect for parties.

wow what a change. pity about sour bake bar staff,

best bar on earth!!! whoop whoop the strand bar

nothing much changed.still empty on a saturday night...new bar staff not any more friendly than the last. remember aid'''n

Upstairs is beautiful after refurbishment. Downstairs already underway, cant wait til its all finished!! Food great with excellent prices too!!! Cant beat it!Great place to go!!!

already a changed place ,when its finished it will be a good watering hole , best of luck to the new owner

Am sure the place will be better than before but seriously needin to get rid of sour bake staff - Cant wait till its all finshed. Agree with evryone else actualley

Agree with previous comments made before new owner took over! Needs gutted out completely which is being done. Can't wait till its all finished. Our new local will be the place to go!

If i had as many complaints i would not have went into it,i am glad who bought it,as long as he is left alone to run it himself,i think he will do a very good job.

Good to see the place getting a clean. And Especially to see its in the hands of a GOOD FELLA and resident yeeee haaaaa.

The Melting Pot was a bar not a club like the one round the corner with names on the seats ;) Good memories of the Pot but a deep clean and a lick of paint was all it needed now lets embrace change lol Call it the Melting Pot 2 lol

Changes a'plenty in the new 'Strand Bar'

taken over by a well respected local man, already getting painted inside and out and hear new, more open window's are on the way!!!
