Highly recommend for food and entertainment. Very well decorated and maintained, not dumpy. Entertainment almost every night of the week. Pub food is as expected. Prices are competitive. This is a go to spot.

Ordered a pep and mushroom pizza and the pep was sandwich meat . It sucked sooo bad service wasn't much better. Have had good food here before and better service prior to today.
October 2025
Been there a couple times now. The service is amazing! Especially the one lady (I can't remember her name, but when I do, I'll update). The food is always great. Bartender is awesome! I highly recommend the espresso martini or the Big Al's martini. Great entertainment as well.
Just an overall great place.
