COPPERFACE JACKS HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

Copperface Jacks in West End is where warm Irish hospitality and top notch contemporary pub food meet in a gorgeous setting on a street corner.

Irish owner of Copperface Jacks, Brendan has created a homey ‘local’ where the staff know your name - the kind of place to pop in for weekend brunch, a Guinness in the beer garden, date night on the candlelit terrace or to celebrate a birthday in one of the leather booths with a gang of family or friends.

There are no craic signs, leprechauns or Irish flags here at Copperface Jacks, where stunning street art adorns the walls in the main dining area (overlooked by Irish icons U2 and Oscar Wilde) and outside in the beer garden bar.

A cracking menu has a taste of Ireland thrown in – Sea Scallops and Black Pudding, Kilkenny Beer Battered Onion Rings, Guinness Mousse (a must try!) and breakfast of Black Pudding with potato and carrot hash – and there’s Guinness on tap at the bar, with the rest a melee of fantastic Mod Oz cuisine.
