The Jarvey’s Rest
This popular pub is not nearly as old as it tries to appear, with a roomful of exposed beams and rows of tankards on the ceiling, as if any moment now a crowd of jolly drinkers might swipe them down and roar a drunken toast. But it has charm. The menu is crowd-pleasing stuff—a good local seafood chowder, fish and chips, or a juicy burger served in a brioche bun. If it’s on the menu when you’re there, try the lemon meringue pie, served with fresh berries. A lively show of traditional Irish music and dancing kicks in at 8pm on Saturday nights in April and May, which expands to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights from June to October.
