Cromwell's

Cromwell's is an Irish pub on Avenida Pintor Xavier Soler, a short drive out of the city centre, and it's the kind of local with a big terrace that stays busy late. It bills itself as a rock pub at heart, so expect guitars on the stereo rather than chart pop. It opens from 11am and keeps going until around 3am, which makes it handy for a lunchtime pint, an evening with friends or a late one. There's food as well, and they take reservations by phone if you're coming as a group. Reviewers rate the staff as friendly and professional and say the mood is good. The flip side of its popularity is that it gets very crowded at night and the waiters can get stretched, so be patient at peak times or come earlier in the evening for a table outside.
