First & Last in Newtownards

Ah, First & Last – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of a community, isn't it? From the reviews, it sounds like the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, whether you're just nipping in for a quick drink or settling in for some pool and banter. The atmosphere is spot on for a proper night out, full of that classic Irish craic that keeps things entertaining. And if you're a dog owner, you'll love how inclusive it is – it's clear they appreciate a bit of four-legged company. That said, there's a word of caution from one review about the odd bit of trouble or a rowdy crowd, so it might not be ideal if you're after a quiet pint by the fire. All in all, with its inexpensive prices and solid reputation, it's a gem for a casual get-together, as long as you're up for a bit of the unexpected.
