Some pubs push their food offerings as their main thing on social media - they do make for more unique photos than pictures of pints, lists of match kick-offs/throw-ins or press photos of the main pub entertainers that go around - but few places do it to the extent of Arcadia. Someone involved here considers themselves quite the food photographer - and they're certainly good at it.
In a shopping centre / apartment development in Kiltipper, this was originally the "Kiltipper Cafe Bar", a name that probably indicated the food focus a bit better; but changed a few years ago.
When arriving here, I stood for a number of minutes at the "please wait to be seated sign"; but it appears, like my own local, that if you're coming in to drink you really don't need to do this - the seats behind the bar seem to be fair game for drinkers; and I was directed to sit wherever I liked. (They were selling a gift card to someone in front of me, hence the delay).
The pub was busy, the food looked decent and there's a big enough selection of drinks albeit all macro - I had my first pint of Murphys outside of Cork in about a decade as a result.
Kiltipper is a bit of a pain to get to from anywhere other than along it's single bus route, which was even having sporadic cancellations on the day of my visit; so I don't think I'll ever be back here; but it's ticked.
