About This Pub
You know, I had a lovely time at Houlihans Freehouse – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper community hub. The staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels included, which really sets the tone for a great night. The atmosphere picks up nicely with live music and sing-alongs, and there are fun bits like pool and darts to keep things entertaining, plus the sports on TV are there if you fancy them but not shoved in your face. It's all so welcoming and comfortable, and the prices won't leave you out of pocket. On the flip side, it's a tad annoying that there's no website to quickly look up what's on, and if you're in the mood for something more than just drinks, it might not hit the spot. Still, it's a solid choice for a relaxed get-together, and I'd say it's worth popping in for the vibe alone.

Viv & Kimi behind the bar are real stars. What a friendly welcome from the two of them and from the local regulars. Eamo on guitar had us all singing along - a great atmosphere whipped up on a friday night !
Great pub, lovely atmosphere very friendly. Thanks to Viv, Dan and Carly for making our night so memorable. We will definitely be back for more.
Only been visiting since renovations, but its a lovely pub with great friendly Staff & a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. There is normally great entertainment at the weekends. There r TV's around the rooms so u don't miss those matches/events! There r Pool & Darts & more seating facilities upstairs. Plus a great Jukebox for the times you want to be your own DJ. Unlike some of the older reviews, more women seem comfortable visiting now too.
Great little pub! The gents is easier to access than the ladies - very rare! There's sports TV here, but not so in-your-face. When it's quiet they chose the volume to suit the current customers.
Bar staff are welcoming, accommodating, and have a can-do attitude. Perfect place to kill a bit of time if you're early for something.

Great old school pub, pool table, darts, friendly bar staff and prices aren't over the top either.
