Slip Inn

The first time I went into this bar it was a rainy miserable day. The bar is beautiful inside, really modern and fresh feeling. We had a cup of tea under the suspicious gaze of many an elderly man.
The second time was very different — The bar is still beautiful inside, still modern and still fresh — but this time there was a much younger buzz about the place.
The pool table and the fruit machines were in full swing and there was plenty of laughter and craic.
We sat out the back in the large decked beer garden. It was a beautiful afternoon and we would have had a perfect afternoon had the dog not yacked up everywhere. We had to run to the toilets and clean up the mess — gross!
We had a couple of refreshing pints in the sun under the watch of, rather bizarrely, two large blue paintings of the characters from Avatar — why? Anyway, we had a lovely time sitting outside opposite the ferry terminal watching the half naked men jump off the pier into the ice cold water.
Apart from an invasion of wasps and the dog vomit it was a lovely afternoon in a lovely seaside bar.
