Cool but gimmicky version of an Irish pub in an airport. Staff were friendly and Guinness was good.
I like how they have created all the timber furniture and lighting as if it was a movie set of an Irish pub. Pretty funny. Nice spot to sit and wait if you’ve got a few hours to kill.

Last time I was here for a beer and a snack killing time before a flight, I had some of the best calamari I’ve ever had. I know, surprised the heck out of me too.
Was probably hoping too much that they could repeat the feat this weekend past when I retraced my steps, as it was just ok. Not bad, just not socks-​off good. The cheesy-​garlic bread hit the spot though.
Despite the disappointment, I still prefer it to most of the other airport eats.

Located before security in the airport terminal, this is one of the better restaurants you’ll see in the airport. I took a seat in the back windows looking out at the planes and the taxiways. It’s a nice place to airplane watch. The seat said reserved, but no one said anything when I took it without asking.
To order, you go up to the back of the bar where they take your order and then deliver to you when ready. The food service is not fast so don’t go here unless you have some time.
I ordered the Ribeye special along with a draft beer. Both were very goose. The steak was well done, though on the smaller side of ribeyes. Thick cut, but smaller profile. They sell by the gram weight so I knew what I’d get was fine, but I guess they have smaller cows down under. The order also came with some nice thick steak fries.
In all, I’d say this is the spot to go to in the airport in this terminal for food if you have time.

Do I like this place, or do I dislike it??? Very tough question to tell you the truth… Inside is the very typical international style Irish pub. The food was half decent but the size of meals very much depends on what you order.
The thing that really lets this place down is the service — it was absolutely pathetic. Very rude and standoffish. Our meals were served with no cutlery. We asked for some, but she went off & helped take a photo of someone who asked. She then started cleaning some cutlery then served another patron at the bar. Meanwhile our food is getting cold, my hunger going up, but after 3 minutes, we got up and had to get them ourselves.

Unfortunately one is restricted when trying to find food at the airport.
