Bittles Bar offers the charms of a traditional Irish pub, along with a decent food menu; they're particularly strong on fish, chicken and steak. Most of the food is only served at lunchtime, but soup and sandwiches are available all day. Unofficially referred to as the "smoothing iron" on account of its triangular shape, it's just as intriguing inside. The walls are covered with artworks of over 100 paintings. It also sports a literary theme, with special attention and respect offered to Irish heroes such as James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde.
