Great Irish Pub. Had the brisket sandwich. It was very tasty. Service was great

May have been a shift change. I'll definitely give another chance to see if this was a one off. The workers were too few, we couldn't get attention at the bar and there weren't very many people. Like I said, could have been an anomaly.

Travel ALOT for work so a good spot when traveling is like a diamond in the rough so to speak. The whole staff is fantastic and baddass here every time I get a chance to eat here. The food included don’t think I’ve eaten the same thing twice and always a very satisfying meal. Isabel and Guillermo have been great the times I’ve been there for sure. Thx guys!!!

Great service. The smashburger special could be a bit fresher..

We were charged an outrageous amount for 2 simple drinks, and the moron behind the bar seemed to think it was no big deal. And they were crappy drinks on top of that! Never going back there.

Please can they have a makeover? Dark green carpet is smelly. Tables have a chronic sticky film. All the furnishings, art and faux flowers need a renaissance.Even menus have seen better days. Service is sad and slow. The only grace is the vodka lemonade which hasn’t changed.

Google Review (Polite but Angry Tone)

This is not the first time we’ve visited, but it is the first time we’ve been treated so poorly. What a shame. The waitstaff had the worst attitude—not only were they unwilling to work, but they even seemed annoyed when we asked for service. I had to go to the bar myself to order because the waitress wouldn’t bother to come to our table.

To be fair, the young man at the bar was very kind and helpful. However, this was the first and definitely the last time I’ll visit this place. It’s unfortunate because the food, music, and atmosphere are phenomenal, but those two waitresses drive customers away with their attitude.

What a waste of such a great place

Irish in name only. Shepherds pie is made from ground beef, not lamb, and called cottage pie in Ireland. No Irish music, only one Irish beer on
