I've had Duffys wings in the past and they were great but this last time the bone-in fried wings were actually breaded with bread crumbs like they were chicken tenders.

Small but nice Irish pub. Food and service are good, and they serve Guiness. That’s all you need :).

There’s nothing Irish about this place. Staff are rude, drinks are overpriced and the music is terrible. I’ll not be returning here. Avoid.

I've been under the weather, so got shpeherd's pie and fried pickles delivered to nosh on while being couch-bound.The shepherd's pie was hum, interesting? A lot... like a LOT of mashed potatoes. The entire bottom of the takeout container is mashed potatoes! Topped with groundish beef, with a truly abysmally stingy sprinkling of a few peas and tiny pieces of carrots. It was sad.The beef was nothing to write home about, the tiny spattering of a few peas and a few tiny dices of carrot far too negligible to comment on. I will say, the mashed potatoes were good.It came with a side of tater tots... I guess that's the crust? I already have more than enough potatoes lol beneath that canned beef or whatever it is.No gravy, brown sauce. It was mashed potatoes in a to-go container, topped with a ladle of strange beef, with a laughable amount of peas and carrots. I mean, it's insulting to the venue.Fried pickles are a risk for any food establishment, as pickles err so heavy being water-based and make breading tricking, so it's hard to knock a place for trying. Their breading was nice and thick and seasoned, and I certainly enjoyed the sauce.I don't know if I would've guessed this was from an Irish place if I was served it without knowing, and I certainly can't say I recommend it. But the mashed potatoes, pickle and sauce were good, and I appreciate they include alcohol wipes in the to-go bag. Order again? No. Total blow? Eh, no.

Great atmosphere. Unfortunately had a bearded bartender named Pete who was a the worst. Guy couldn’t have been more full of himself. Good spot, unfortunate employee.

It’s about what you’d expect out of a pub. Good service. Fairly high prices, but nothing out of the ordinary for the area.

Guy acted like my ID wasn't scanning and started screaming at me to get out unless I proved I was of age. Guess he wasn't having a great

There's a dart board but hopefully it's too packed to play, in which case there's sports on if you have no one to talk to or if you do then perhaps you can talk about sports and have delicious food. The hot sauce is crazy good here and occasionally you might discover an incredible band when there's music

I came here for Duffy's Super Bowl party. I'm happy to say that I wasn't disappointed. The wings were all they were hyped to be: try the Irish Temper flavor if you love spicy foods (or you're incredibly brave). I'll definitely be back to this amazing bar soon.

Wonderfully organized and ran Super Bowl Sunday event. Making this a ticketed, reserved event to prevent overcrowding and ensure everyone has a seat was a great idea. Despite a fully sold out event, the bar and kitchen service was top notch and the food and drinks itself were superb. As expected, the wings were a hit. We will definitely be back on a regular day.

I went to this place to watch a soccer game. No one cared to take our order for half an hour.

This is a sports bar pretending that it's an "Irish Pub".Have said that, it has a great atmosphere.

This is now one of my favorite places to go. I brought some diplomats to the restaurant once again, and after trying the food, I thought the food and the service were really top-tier and great. I appreciate Ricardo for everything he does. I hope management and the owners of the store plan on keeping him long-term. We do, in fact, plan on coming back. Previously, I made a bad review, but I take it back. Owners, thank you, and a big thanks to Ricardo for making this such a good night for us. Do us a favor by passing this along to him.
