Hurleys Irish Bar

We went to Hurley's in a snow storm and were pleased to see the inside of this cosy pub. It is mostly dark wood inside and is on two levels. There is live music on both levels every night. Drinks vary in price. Vodka and lime was $6.50 and beer was around $7.00 a pint. There is a large selection of beers though (Guinness, Boddingtons, Smethicks, Alexander Keiths to name a few).

There is plenty of seating but locals tend to guard them fiercely (one of our group found this out when she sat in someone's space). The band on the second floor was called Salty Dogs and played a wide range of Irish music and local songs. The first song that I heard was The Pogues 'Fairytale of New York' which was strange considering it was March! Nevertheless the four piece band, were brilliant and the female fiddle player made one of our groups tongue hang out of his head! After this band finished we ventured downstairs to listen to two guys who were called Solstice and they were simply amazing...they did a cover of a Metalica song on a guitar and fiddle. Yep it worked to the amazement of everyone. You can dance but most people sat back, sipped their pints and tapped their feet to the bands. If you want a good drink, fantastic music and most of all great atmosphere venture to Hurley's. We rolled out of there at 3am.
