Bar & Restaurant. Tends to be quite most days with live bands on weekend nights. For a Pub they have amazingly good food. Best Salads in town. Try the Pear Arugula. Great Irish dishes as well. And if you just want to put back a few pints and watch a futbol (soccer) game, it's a great place to hang.

If you are staying at my place on a Thursday evening over the summer months. DIYC, a private sailing club, opens to the public on Thursday nights for roughly 6 months of the year. Show up to the club from 5-5:30 PM and tell the bartender you'd like to get on a boat.
Roughly 60-80 boats race every Thursday night and a random boat owner will take you out as a guest for free. This is legit and super fun with amazing down to earth people. You do not need to know anything about sailing to participate. Just show up with your favorite beer and a few extra to share and you'll have an amazing time. Dress very casual.
