About this space

The Chieftain Irish Pub & Restaurant is a traditional, old‑world Irish pub distinguished by dark wood panelling and a classic timber bar layout.

Design: The interior pairs exposed brick and carved woodwork with low, warm lighting, bottle-lined shelving and compact booths that produce an intimate, traditional pub appearance.

Features: The venue has a full commercial kitchen serving classic Irish comfort dishes such as fish and chips, shepherd's pie and burgers. The venue also provides several large screens for live sports, a PA system and speakers, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, allows own music or a hired DJ, and has a step‑free, wheelchair‑accessible entrance.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or colleagues seeking a relaxed, social evening that combines seated comfort-food dining and standing drinks around televised sport.

What sets it apart: An unusually large whiskey selection and an award‑standard Guinness pour that emphasise the venue's drinks programme.
