The Boothouse Bar

THE BOOTHOUSE
The Boothouse is a thatched pub cum eatery in Upper Glanmire, adjacent to the church, a few miles from the north side of the city. It was recently voted the Newstalk FM Pub of the Year.
The food is largely traditional. Bacon and cabbage and farmyard chicken were on the menu today, a menu that hasn’t changed much over the past decade or so. Maybe the attitude is why fix what isn’t broken.
I went for the chicken (€ 12), my favourite. Slightly drier than usual but still very tasty and I polished it off. Dessert was another favourite: creamed rice with jam (€ 4.50). As usual, I came out a satisfied customer.
The menu is stuffed in small writing on a backboard but the place was warm and comfortable and the service was friendly and well up to standard.
It is a place I’d call more often — if the menu was altered from time to time, not necessarily dropping the favourites.
