To be honest, we went to The Croppy Acre on the promise of cheap pints. You see, having
received a Price Submission telling us how cheap they were, well it just told us that
we gotta go and check it out for ourselves, so onto the Luas we hopped and minutes later
we were standing outside the doorway (jump off at Museum on the Red Line, about a five
minute walk.)
So there we were outside arguing about who was going to buy the first round and in we
went. The interior is mainly old style wooden and the TV was showing Reeling In The Years
and the pub seemed authentic in the way pubs do.
So we ordered our pints, searched for somewhere to sit, upstairs? Well a sort of upstairs,
you can still see everything, ground level - perfect view of the TV or downstairs - pool
table and music. Mmmm, upstairs we went.
The pints when served were beautiful the beer cold and the stout creamy and yes they were
cheap but for how long who knows. The barstaff were friendly, there are steps behind the
upstairs bar leading down to the service area and our host brought up the Guinness to us
everytime. We probably could have ordered from where we were but well, we didn't want to
be rude.
All said, this is a cosy little local with an ambient atmosphere, a diverse crowd and we'll
be back again one way or the other.
One final thing, it also has an off license.....what more could you want?
The Croppy Acre is a pub anyone could walk into and would feel welcome. Bar staff are extremely friendly and are all excellent at their jobs. The owner is a lovely man, treats his staff really well and appreciates everyone of them. I'm drinking in the pub for years and have always been made feel welcome.
