Reviews Summary
The Shire Pub offers a unique Lord of the Rings-themed atmosphere and a solid selection of Irish beers. While many praise the homemade burgers and friendly vibe, some reviews point to slow service and a need for better management. The vegan option was also noted as not tasty by one reviewer.
"The pub is temporarily closed while the owner fixes some water damage, but she apologized and was super sweet! What we could see of the pub looked incredible. Can't wait to try again next time!
Fyi, be ready for a long hill walk!"

"Amazing Irish pub located a little bit outside the center of Ercolano.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Everything is LOTR themed (duh) and the interior is beautifully decorated.
They have some nice beers on draught and the selection of bottled and canned beer is pretty good as well.
If you're tired of mediocre Italian food, you should come here and enjoy their delicious burgers!"
Jenne
"Genuine Irish Pub selling whole range of great draught beers and stouts. Furbished as a genuine Irish pub with tables and benches and a great menu. I hadn't enjoyed a pint of Harp Lager since the 1970's!
Staff were really friendly as well and the music was Irish as well!"
