The 1 bar tender is also tasked with.. hosting too? Tonight my friend and I were told to vacate our table by him to make room immediately after we finished our food. Yet everyone else was able to stay at their tables with only drinks. Even the two white women at the table next to us (🙃)! After he only took our table he went back behind the bar. We left. We spent $30 to get in and $80 at the bar (tip incuded!) and i wont ever go back.

I ordered a beer and the barista served a small amount of beer from the tap and he pretended to fill up the glass from it but he grabbed a pitcher full of beer that was under the tap and he poured to fill up the glass.i was pissed of knowing that i'm a regular client for this pub and i always tip for each service. Really disappointed.

This is always a great time. The open mic on Tuesdays, run by Johnny, is a great community vibe, and the performers can be top-notch too.

What a great Irish Pub, thanks for supporting live music! The garlic fries are huge and delicious, real garlic not just garlic oil like other places.

I stopped here with some friends and really felt uncomfortable the whole time. Everyone was giving me weirdddd energy and staring. I asked one of my friends (white) if they felt similar they said they didn’t know what I was talking about. Let me phrase it like this, do you see me staring at every white person that enters a free salsa dancing class? No. Some of you just need to check yourself 😔💔

My visit to the starry plow was a great experience they had a DJ playing and it was an open atmosphere they had good drinks on tap alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I ordered the Irish mac and cheese and the fried chicken sandwich non spicy with garlic fries and everything was delicious
