The place has a really warm, neighborhood pub feel to it. It’s the only local place I’ve found that can make a Guinness black & black. While the food there is good, the Irish options are limited. You can never go wrong with the big pretzel and the fish & chips. Both the French Onion and crab bisque soups are very good as are the pizzas. Prices are reasonable, service is good, and portions sizes are filling.

First time stopping by on St. Patrick’s Day because everyone’s Irish on St. Patty’s Day right? Live band, live Irish step-dancing, service and food were all fantastic. Will be back again.

Came on Saturday, March 9 when the place was packed for the Irish celebration Ordered the fish and chips, and cannot believe how fast they arrived, PLUS they were delicious.

The bouncers are extremely aggressive and will put their hands on women in a physical manner. Very recently a bouncer shoved my friend so hard she almost fell in the street while yelling expletives at her. The bartenders are great but there are much better bars in the area that don't include getting physically assaulted.

Neighborhood pub with old school lively vibe. Beautiful wood interior, plenty of space.Mia is awesome, greeted us with a big smile and promptly got us started with some delicious wings and cold brew from the tap.Highly recommend the chicken wings, Jameson Mild and Honey Garlic Stinger. Perfect crunchy base and finger-lickin good!For mains, the Brisket Grilled Cheese is phenomenal. Big enough for two so will try the Blackened Salmon Blat next visit.Bread pudding is delicious for dessert, traditional family style recipe.Really enjoyed our visit, highly recommended!!

Been going here for ten years, but the new managerial staff is terrible, so a new rating is merited. Front of house wait staff and bartenders are great, but if the kitchen gets an order wrong the managers will lie to your face about the plate.Tonight I ordered a dish with no cheese for my dairy allergy. There was an odd substance in the ribeye so I inquired about a mix up. My bartender was super helpful and understanding, but the kitchen and floor manager both lied about the contaminated dish, which left me short of breath and with severe respiratory and digestive pain. I hope the shift manager gets fired for such a disservice

I've been here a few times, not to bad, first time sitting in & eating . Environment was just not for me . Service was eh . Yeah unsure if I'd return. Portion for price is good tho. Had wings n fries, buddy had the brisket grilled cheese & it looked pitiful definitely didn't look fresh. Too much cheese which covered up the flavor of the " brisket " . My hypothesis that is was oven made brisket . No smoke flavor not appealing to the taste buds.
