Reviews
Very nice experience! Tomahawk was incredible and also good cocktails. Good to have their own pub as a waiting area. Will be back soon for the specials as they run out by the time we ordered.
Here, I'm only going to write my personal assessment of the wonderful bar/pub "Juno" (formerly the site of "The Red Parrot"), rather than of "Hera" restaurant, conjoined but actually next door (for which I'll add an entirely separete review presently). To whit: This is a fantastic establishment that works on every level, and those levels are innumerable. Please see below 👇🏻: First: No television visible from my chosen banquet (nor any other)! 🎖 Second: VERY gentle & subtlely controlled background music (on a good evening you might even be lucky enough to get George Shearing, or other somesuch sophisticated jazz. 😎). Third: VERY cheap, yet SUPERB, Beamish Irish Stout! Fourth: The Guinness is also SUPERB, of course... (seriously, prices here are competitive, ie., VERY GOOD!). So, isn't about time we got down to the nitty gritty: EVERYTHING ELSE ALSO IS ("superb", that is), so do check out the 1st Class/GREAT VALUE cocktail range (including my No. 1 personal favourite, the rarely-found "Muki Gimlet", with a STRONG bang of non-alcohol gin off of it, for only €7. Yes, you heard me quite well, yes ONLY SEVEN EURO! 😲). Wines, by the glass or in a bottle, are nothing less than sumptuous, as are some of the most sensational and generously served Mediterranean bar-snacks this side of The Red Sea. Fifth (if we're going to continue in this vein): The staff (names such as Rhea, Jess, Juno - no relation, and Alanah, as well as internationally bred Seán, who is the actual bar-manager, and a very good man to know; as well as others too delightful to actually name now*) are a STUPENDOUS team of dedicated young people who value customer satisfaction over even their very own lives. Come in here some time, and only then tell me if I'm even slightly "off" in my written, and therefore very carefully considered, opinion. I LOVE JUNO ❤️, and so shall you 🫵🏻!
