"A post shared by Summer Dodge (@summer.dodge) on Sep 15, 2015 at 1:34pm PDT. Tatler Jack’s surprise the moment you step inside, as you realize how busy it actually is. This long, narrow yet surprisingly spacious pub looks tiny and unassuming from the outside, but literally packs a punch with its friendly atmosphere, superb live music, good food and a fine selection of drinks."

The friendly Irish bar is the place to learn the rules of Gaelic football from passionate supporters."
