Peter Kavanagh’s

I love the look of this pub. it is awesome. The pub is well known nationally for its historic interior. A proper olde place with a lot of interesting stuff happening all over the walls. Oh and spot the copy of Fly Fishing by JR Hartley above the bar! Memory lane.
This is all very cool and the beer selection isn’t common… unfortunately it IS Cottage. Their beers all seem to me to be slight variations on the same beer. If that beer was one I really liked then that would be awesome. As it is it’s just ok, so I am not particularly enthused when they cross my path.

What a great pub, completely unique in many ways! This place really does pack a lot of character! I’ve been to many pubs within the city centre, but not with quite the same atmosphere and collection of curious as this place!
They have a great collection of old wireless radios and random things such as gas masks hanging from the ceiling above and behind the bar. They also serve a great pint and the service is very friendly, the regulars are welcoming and the pub quiz is a great night out. They have a skiffle band that plays on Thursdays and these are incredible to watch, and also quite nice to get up and have a dance to if you’re that way inclined!
They also have a great range of bar snacks, which to me is very important for a pub. These include the filthiest of fatty pork scratchens, cheeselets, nuts and crisps! Winner!”!

Surely one of the strangest pubs in town, PKs is part pub, part antique shop and part curiosity.
You can see all sorts of weird items hanging from the walls and ceiling as you wander through the narrow passages of what seems like somebody’s converted house. It makes for a very cosy environment to while away winter nights as you can find comfy seats tucked away in small rooms and plenty of characters vying fro elbow room at the tiny bar. In these conditions it can get very busy very easily but it’s never a hassle just a lively atmosphere fuelled by the eccentrics, artists, poets and drunks who come here regularly.
Live music is a weekly event and plenty of choices on the ale front make PKs a very non-​traditional traditional pub. I mean that it’s a place for drinking, talking and singing, no sport or gimmicks or cocktails but what is sung or discussed is usually anything ordinairy.

The only pub within walking distance of my flat and thank goodness for that. This poet (without even knowing it) loves Peter Kavanaugh’s. As soon as you walk in, you’re transported into your eccentric Uncle’s attic. Everything you could think of adorn the walls (including chamber pots), and as you wander over steps and stairs to get to various areas of the bar, you find more and more cool things to look at. Someone, who I’m guessing was a regular, told me that the murals on the wall were painted in the late 20’s as a repayment for a bar tab the painter couldn’t afford. Whether it’s true or not, it’s the perfect story for the pub. The décor is extremely warm, with its deeply colored murals, blazing fireplace and leaded windows. I just simply feel good whenever I’m here.
The regulars are colorful, hard drinkers and the bartenders are about the same. They all seem to truly enjoy their home away from home. Make sure you tip, though! The owner of the bar has a few rules to keep her place in line and are common courtesy acts you should be doing anyway.
I hear they have great food, but the only bits I’ve ordered were crisps munched on over a really fun quiz they host each week, made even more enjoyable by the patrons and host shouting things at each other from various nooks and crannies of the pub. So if you’re looking for a unique time with equally unique people to boot, Peter Kavanaugh’s is where to go.
