    Was out in Woodquay direction last night, the sound levels in all were brutal, Tv,Music etc.

    Where is a mellow pub to have a chat?

    On a Saturday evening id struggle to think of somewhere but my best guess would be the pub under the hardiman hotel - McNeil's I think it's called - if there isn't a wedding on the hotel bar would be an option there are pubs like garavans and freeneys possibly tig coili outside music session times

    Try the Park House.

    We were thinking that a hotel might be an option

    If its just the TV/Music sound you are trying to avoid, Freeneys is a good bet. Can be busy but no music or TV's last time I was in there - there are a few more Garavans, Murphys as well that I "think" don't have either of those types of background noise - but its been a while since I was in any of those three - apologies if times have changed.

    Garavans has live music Thursday thru Sunday usually.

    Murphys has tvs and is usually packed.

    I was in Murphys last night. They do have TVs but they are turned down usually especially in evenings. Freeneys is a decent shout. Bunch of Grapes too.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?
