    Best Pint of Guinness in Ballymena by far! Owners and bar staff are the friendliest you could ask for! They go out of their way to make people welcome

  • 5/5 Michael R. 2 years ago on Google • 4 reviews
    A warm welcome, really friendly staff and a nice selection of drinks in a nicely spaced-out setting, social distancing therefore made easy. The place is covered with fantastic newspaper headlines where each tells a fascinating story of events gone by. Try the Guinness and/or the mocktails. Thoroughly recommended by us, it’s the staff that make it extra-special. Why not try it when you’re next in town? Thank you to The Front Page! 🍻🍷🍹
