Based centrally on Candleriggs, Grace’s Irish Sports Bar offers a contemporary twist on the classic Irish pub. The family-friendly space includes 13 big screens showing football, rugby, golf and GAA, plus a pool table. From Fridays to Sundays, the atmosphere turns spirited with live music from some of the best Irish bands and singers around. Irish-themed pub food is served all week, including Saturday match day breakfasts. The drinks list includes beers, ciders, whiskies and bourbons, as well as an impressive range of vodkas, gins and rums. This is the perfect spot for tucking into a meal while enjoying a game or raising a glass to some rousing folk tunes.
The kitchen brigade at Grace’s serve up no-nonsense Irish pub grub alongside a few global favourites. Menus can change, but starters include black pudding fritters based on an authentic Irish family recipe and served with pepper sauce.
Mains could feature Irish stew & potatoes mopped up with soda bread, Irish pork sausages with colcannon mash & onion gravy and Friday fish with chunky chips & tartar sauce.
From the snack section, dig into choices like the chicken fajitas, jalapeño poppers and tempura prawns. There is also a children’s section offering junior favourites such as burger & chips and cheesy pasta with garlic bread.
If you have room for a classic pudding, then treat yourself to an ice cream sundae, apple & rhubard crumble or steamed pudding & custard.
