    Great place to sit in the sunshine and watch the world walk by with a couple of beers. Very handy WiFi and very accommodating friendly landlord.

    A great little Irish Bar in the centre of Tours. Lots of beers available from around the world. Prices were reasonable. Lots of live sports, we visited when the Merseyside and Manchester Derby's were on. The place got quite lively and seemed to have a regular crowd. Lovely ambience and vibe.

    The ubiquitous Irish pub found everywhere, it seems. Nice and cosy and sitting outside allows you to people-watch.

    Best Irish pub in Tours full stop. Great to see Galway Hooker beer on tap and the Guinness is on point. Warren is a gent and a legend, hope to make it back someday. Definitely worth a visit. Bring friends.

    To be honest I totally dislike their beer choices, but well, that's a subjective point. Otherwise, it's just a great place. Real wood that makes you feel you're in a real Pub. The owner is a native English speaker, besides being a very nice person, and you can come here to watch all the soccer matches you want. Very friendly and warm atmosphere every day, all year long. Live music concerts are regularly held there, and the local group plays traditional songs that add even more to the authentic felling.

    Visited for the Women's World Cup Grand Final. They did the best they could in a Very small pub with limited seating/viewing points for the extra TVs. Overall, very friendly staff and reasonably priced, with a good selection of UK/Irish beers/spirits.

    Thursday night shenanigans abound. A quick pitstop in Tours and I discovered this pub with a great atmosphere. Beer and whiskey selection and staff. Double happy with the prices. 5 or 6 euro pints a dozen or so beers on tap and 2.5 euro shots. There is ample space outside on two sides with a square and semi pedestrian area for a terrace. Inside the pub is split over two levels as well as a mezzanine where the bar is. While I was there a darts tournament was in full swing and there was evidence of live music, although not on Thursdays. Two young owners and a friendly barmaid behind the bar make the varied crowd very welcome

    Niff one of the owners is one of the nicest people we met in France. The beer is great straight from Ireland and the place is packed with great people. A must stop and visit pub.

👍👍 It was a rainy and cold night, but hubby and I ventured out to see what Brasserie had to offer. The atmosphere was bright and cheerful, and the staff were friendly. Hubby loved his fish and chips. Their olives were amazing!!
