Great pub with good vibes! I love the live band and the chandelier gives the atmosphere a nice touch.
I do understand bar can get busy but I noticed for my group of guy friends it took them about 30 mins to get a drink. I do not know how the bar system works so they may give priority to other customers but its something important to point out. Get ready to wait

Great pub and great burger bar inside. Nice people, spacious and music all the time. Was in there and they were even polite to a bunch of rowdy people snapping fingers and being ultra rude. I would not have been so gracious. Great place.

I had a very upsetting experience at this pub, and I feel it is important to share it clearly. My friends and I were the only Asian customers present that night, and we were treated in a way that was both inconsistent and discriminatory.
First, a bartender asked us to leave without giving us a clear reason. From what we could gather, it may have been because we snapped our fingers to get attention. If that was considered impolite in Irish pub culture, then as customers who might not be aware of this, we should have been informed politely. Instead, we were immediately told to leave. This felt not only excessive but also hostile, and it created an environment where we were not given the same understanding or patience as other customers.
Second, when we politely asked if we could borrow the paper crown that one of the bartenders was wearing, we were refused. Later, we saw the same crown being given to other customers without issue. When I asked where the crown had come from, the bartender himself admitted that he had simply “picked it up somewhere.” In other words, it was not even a personal or valuable belonging — yet it was still shared with others while being denied to us. When we raised this unfair treatment with the manager, the explanation we received was that “it could have been a friend” and that it was up to the bartender to decide. This response ignored the fact that customers must be treated equally, regardless of who they are, and it completely dismissed our concerns.
Taken together, these incidents strongly suggest that we were treated differently because of our race. We were the only Asians there, and we were singled out, denied the same treatment as others, and asked to leave without proper explanation. This was not just poor service — it was discrimination.
No customer should ever feel excluded, humiliated, or treated as less than others because of their race. In the service industry, staff should handle cultural misunderstandings with professionalism and fairness, not hostility. And managers should resolve complaints respectfully instead of defending unfair behavior.
I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously, because what happened to us should never happen to anyone else.

Terrible I think they are raisist.
I had a very disappointing experience at this pub.
A bartender was wearing a paper crown. When I said it looked nice, my friend jokingly asked if we could try it. Instead of simply saying no, the bartender made a dismissive “go away” gesture. Later, I saw the crown being passed around to other customers, which clearly showed that we were treated differently.
Later on, my friend made a small finger sound toward me, not the bartender. The bartender misunderstood this, and at the bar he accused us of being rude and refused to take our order. He told us to “come back in 10 minutes,” which is an absurd and humiliating way to treat paying customers.
We had no intention of being rude at all. The bartender’s reaction was aggressive, unfair, and completely unprofessional. Even worse, when I explained this to the manager, the response was dismissive and unhelpful, defending the bartender instead of addressing the issue.
This was not just bad service, it was outright disrespect. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

Poor customer service and communication.
Visited on the least busiest day of the week and Bartender wasn't even interested in serving.
Acting like he's doing some favors.
Not recommended at all.
