- The best pub in Swords if you like some good craic during the weekend. Friendly people and a great atmosphere. Go there after 11.30pm and stay till the end. Enjoy!

- Superb Pub with great DJ's (Jake and Kev) Really friendly Door staff(****** and *****)and always a good night. Lot of Young people upstairs but downstairs has a mixed age group! Worth a visit

- The harp is generally a very popular and busy bar. Its prices are reasonable and bar staff friendly. Although on the weekends it fills to the brim, which can cause major queues for everything, from the bar to the toilets... Sometimes it gets so busy the cloakrooms refuse to take anymore coats etc.. Taxis are fairly prompt. All in all a good place to visit.

- OK the Harp when it first opened was great! Now my 16 yr old cousin goes there EVERY Friday! I'm from Swords myself and sometimes when I'm down there (not very often) I do not recognise anyone at all! Ok it does get busy, but many times before when I've ordered doubles the bar staff don't give you the proper amount and they charge you a good price, this is upstairs though. On my first time there I could not find my way around, there are stairs all over the place! The Harp used to be good before it was rebuilt, it was a real locals pub and the amount of money they made was unreal. They had bands all weekend, now they have some band that are managed by Bryan Mc Fadden and they play every week, it's like get a bit of variety! Ok sometimes there's a great buzz but more often than not I go elsewhere, somewhere where there are no kids falling drunk all over the place! But this is just one person's opinion..........

- The pub has a nice layout. There is a mixed crowd. The harp gets very busy after half 11. The place can get very stuffy and packed. The music is good but not for everybody. I would give the harp probably 7 out of 10.

- Very nicely laid out pub. Well decorated and kept quite clean but I don't know about the kitchen. Two people and myself I know suffered from very bad food here in three separate occasions. I can't understand it as I hear they have a huge turnover in Chefs and can't hold onto staff. It strikes me that if that is the case and there are still these cases of bad food been served then there is a serious problem??

- A good place to watch a match but, well, that's about it really! I really wish I had more to say. Great band on a Sunday night, but every Sunday night is a bit much! Plus there's no variety in the show they do! This is the best night to go here, as it is the only weekend night you get a nice crowd. Fridays and Saturdays can be a risk to your safety!

- A place on the slide! Why is it that every member of good staff that they had seems to leave? I don't know their names but I remember some great guys behind the bars. Where are they now? Well they were worth their salt so maybe they have been poached? I don't no but whatever was needed to keep them should have been done. Also where are the Door Standards gone as it gets rougher, younger and messier every week?

-Decent place. In fact its a fine place but seems to be a badly run place. By this I mean that the place has a huge unfulfilled potential. I don't know why but for some reason the people in charge do not see this? It was great at the start but now they have got greedy. At 22 I am still young but at the same time I do not want to be surrounded by messy maybe under age lads every time I go out! I would go there now and again but only as my friends want to.

- The Harp is a great place ta go with a few friends at the weekend for a laugh and a drink. The people in there are usually up for some fun and with promomotion nites on most weekends its great for getting a few free drinks(or have a bit of fun tryin)!

- Right, i cannot stand this place, mind you out of laziness i seem to go nearly every saturday night! Dj jake or DJ fake as he has been nicknamed is terrrible, bad tunes and bad attitude! the place just doesnt have an atmosphere! if i go there with the same crowd as i go out with on other nights we will not have half a good a time! place is stuffy and has a muddled layout! having said that i would highly recomend that you pay it a visit on sunday nights - the south african band franklin are worth a look! great music and great guys!

- I've only been in the harp twice and on both occasions I found it to be a nice pub with a great atmosphere. First time I was there I found it a bit big and nearly got lost tryin to find the toilets but the staff are really co-operative and helpful and I found them with out bother. If you just want to go out for a few pints and have some general craic then I'd highly recommend this place.
