Proof that coffee is perfectly acceptable after dark. ☘️

From this Saturday until St Paddy’s Day (Tuesday 17), The Lord Nelson will be pouring a signature Irish Coffee featuring Tullamore D.E.W. - citrusy, sweet and a hint of spice. Just cheeky enough to count as both dessert and a nightcap.

One sip and you’ll be feeling lucky. Sláinte.
