Tara

Never overdoing the Irish theme, this multi-roomed bar has many faces: the Nes side is loungey; the Rokin side is full of rowdy, football-watching Brits; and the middle is a snug conversation pit with sofas, an open fire and even a pulpit. There's the black stuff, Caffrey's, Murphy's and cider. Food is good and - hallelujah! - snacks include Walkers crisps.
