Extremely popular after 5pm on Fridays. The service was wonderful and very friendly. Great selection of beer on tap, and a nice Irish selection of food on the menu. We were able to find a spot at the bar before 5pm, but as we left at 6:30pm there was a wait to be seated.

I went to this Irish place with my wife and kid, and we actually had a really good time. We ordered the Shepherd’s Pie, and I’ve got to say — it was delicious. Instead of the usual crust, they used mashed potatoes on top, which was a smart and tasty twist.
I also tried the Irish “Boxty” — basically a potato pancake dish — and it was spot on. The steak fries were cooked perfectly too. For drinks, our server recommended a Smithwick’s Irish beer, and it paired really well with the food.
The place itself has a great vibe — lots of Irish décor, cozy atmosphere, and an overall fun feel.
Now, a funny moment — I ordered the salmon and asked the server if I could get just a little bit of rice and a little bit of bacon on the side. She came back and said I couldn’t. I mean, come on — we’re in America, the land that consumes 200000 slices of bacon a min— and I can’t get a little bit? 😄 Not a big deal, but definitely made me laugh.
Overall, it’s a great spot. If you’re staying in the nearby hotels, it’s an easy walk and totally worth checking out for the food, drinks, and chill Irish vibe

I’m from Kansas City and walked over to this place unexpectedly from my hotel.. I was in love with the place the moment I stepped foot indoors with the decor, the atmosphere and the food was amazing. Service was top-notch - had Bella and she was friendly and great!

felt the pub nostalgia. I'd come back, and recommended if you're with a group that enjoys a pint or two.

Stopped in for an early dinner/ late lunch. We had to try the onion rings, fish and chips, a Ruben and Buffalo chicken salad.
Food was excellent, service spectacular and the atmosphere was an Ireland lovers dream.

Went for lunch today on a recommendation. Not sure I’d recommend it to anyone. It isn’t anything special. I ordered the salmon sandwich and my mom ordered the soup & half corn beef sandwich. It was an average salmon sandwich. It was on a ciabatta bun with a slice on cheese melted on the salmon then lettuce & tomato. The fries were too salty, in my opinion. Average potato soup and corn beef.My mom said the potato soup was good. It was a bit expensive but I’m nit picking.
