"Great pub"
Spent an evening in Ruanes of Glentane, found it a great place to visit. very warm and friendly. the bar staff were very good and served with a smile. The Guinness was top notch. There was a great atmosphere in the place with good banter between the locals. I will definitely visit again. 10 out of 10 for me.
