Stopped in on a Sunday just for drinks and had a good experience. It wasn’t too busy, which was nice, and we were able to get bar seating without any wait. I ordered the espresso martini and it was very good, smooth, well balanced, and not overly sweet.

Nice place decorated for Christmas. Vibe was weird with the loud Christian country music playing in an Irish bar though. Decent Christmas cocktails around $18 a piece

Disappointing! Being Irish , I’ve want to check this place out for a while. First impressions were good, we visited during lunch on the Monday between Christmas and New Years, so it was slow, maybe 20 people. The decor is bright and festive. The food was okay, FishCakes were unusually the salmon taste overpowered the cod. My Chicken & Chutney didn’t have any chutney!! When I took my sandwich apart confirming there was no chutney and brought it to the server/bartenders attention, his reply was “I’m kinda running a one-man show here.” Not accurate—there was a food runner and probably a cook, and unacceptable! Why should I settle for subpar food because the staff can’t do their job!!
My husband had the Caesar chicken wrap, which was nothing special and very light dry.
Worst, and should have been my warning to leave, the ladies restroom had no soap, no towels, and the TP holder was falling off the wall. My rule of thumb has always been, if a business cannot take care of their restroom (which everyone can see), what is their kitchen like??

We won’t be back.

Had a great time here. Our waitress tessa made my family feel at home as we are not from here. She seemed to be the only server though, and it was pretty busy, seemed like she was taking care of the whole floor. She was running around so we felt bad. Food was very tasty, didn’t order drinks but as she passed us they looked very good. Thanks again tessa we will be back but during the day when less people

I have quit a story, but i wanted to first Thank our Server Tessa or Tesla (not sure which one it is) for dealing with myself and my party i came with. Everything was going well, she checked on our table many many times. Our drinks came very fast and our food order came fast as well considering there was many people there. unfortunately one of my friends didn’t like that our friend paid for everything on one tab (as that’s what we asked our server to do; keep everything on one check) one of my friends did not like that idea and told our server but it was too late. Our server proceeded to tell her that our friend took care of everything. Our friend thought it was rude that Tessa went ahead and checked out already. She then pulled the Manager to the side and told the lady that our server was rude and never checked on our table. i want to say that this is not the experience we had and i want to apologize. Tessa/Tesla was very attentive and very friendly. i feel bad that our friend ruined the experience for us. Other than that, we had a great time! Thanks so much and we will be back without our friend! :D

The atmosphere was great, but the prices on their menu is different from what they ring you up as during miracle which seems to be something they claim is a Christmas edition no matter what you order. Also, within their miracle, they add a 20% gratuity to anything you order no matter what the occasion is. We only came in for two martinis and we thought it was only gonna be 14 bucks ended up being 20+ per each, including a gratuity in Which the server literally grabbed the drinks and gave it to us and added a gratuity. It was really weird. Wish they didn’t do that as it draws customers away. Always willing to give just don’t want to be taken advantage of.

This place used to be perfect. The food is excellent, but they stopped outside service. No longer dog friendly

Had the weirdest service experience last night. We came in as a party of 2 for the Christmas pop-up, as is our day-after-Thanksgiving tradition. We ordered two cocktails and nachos per usual, but the cocktails we ordered were not good at all. So we told our waitress and she just said “oh sorry about that” and walked away. Didn’t offer a remake or new drinks or anything, and left the drinks on the table. She also never checked back up on us. Later she comes back to charge us but doesn’t show us the invoice on her mobile checkout device or tell us the total. She just grabbed my friend’s card, swiped it, and turned it around for her to select an “additional tip”. When asked about it she goes “oh yeah, when people aren’t satisfied they usually don’t tip. But the drinks are expensive and it’s for charity you know? So I just added it on there”. So… not only did she still charge us for drinks we didn’t touch… with no offer for a fix or solution… she also made the assumption that we wouldn’t tip, tried to hide it, and then lied trying to make it seem like her tip was going to the charity in order to justify??? Auto-grat for a party of 2 is wild. It wasn’t even about the money, as the bill wasn’t high, but the dishonesty and assumptions matched with poor service rubbed me the wrong way. I was about to call for a manager but my friend just paid the bill so we could leave. Anyone coming here this season: watch your servers, pay close attention to your checks, and don’t order the Cherry Cherry Chocolate drink (ick).

The best Irish Pub I have ever been to! Their wings and burgers are the best, and their customer service is even better. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Izzy provided great service. I can't ever decide whether to have the pulled pork nachos or the shepherd's pie so I bought the shepherd's pie home to heat up the following day. We were there during happy hour and busy at the bar but not yet at the tables. Nice to have a couple bucks off on the beer. We will definitely be back!
