Lively market town community local with a dedicated clientele. This Wetherspoon pub has a ground floor public bar of robust character and a quieter family-friendly first-floor loggia-style sitting room with exposed timber trusses, affording inspirational views from its many windows over Belfast Lough and the adjacent 12th-century castle. Hand pumps on both levels serve three house beers and guest ales with local ale from Whitewater Brewery. Alcohol is served from 11.30am (12.30pm Sun). This description was provided by the late Tony Dean.
