I went after work on a Monday, there were 3 people who were definitely drunk and very loud. The pretzels were really good. They have Pepsi (yes, thats a deal breaker for me). Its an ok place if Im meeting someone for a drink.

While we've stopped here a few times since living here, I hadn't yet taken the time to post a review to my website, so fixing that now. This most recent stop was to meet a friend from Church after work and it turned out to be a great meeting spot.

I started with the Hot Skinny B*/ch (see picture) and as the name implies, the jalapeno tequila and additional sliced jalapenos gave it a good spicy kick! I loved it...but if you aren't into the stronger jalapeno burn, you might not enjoy it as much as I did.

For our dinner, we started with an order of Southwest Egg Rolls (see picture) and then each of us ordered some Wings (see picture). While ideally I would have preferred that both orders not be fried as much as they were, both were still quite tasty and above average pub food.

We stopped here for lunch today and all of us enjoyed the food. I ordered the Knock-U-Out Chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries (see picture). It was spicy, yet flavorful - not just burn and nicely paired with toasted jalapeno cheddar bread. The sweet potato fries were also good - crispy outside, yet moist and delicious inside. I would definitely stop here again and would highly recommend the Knock-U-Out Chicken sandwich.

We came in around 8pm last night. Lots of open tables. Not even a single recognition from a waitress for 20 minutes. Asked a bartender for help and no one ever came. 2 waitresses were just hanging out talking at tables and taking out trash. Even if we had gotten a menu and an acknowledgment that we were there, would have been enough for us to be patient at an inbusy bar and grill. Very disappointed.

Every time I’m in town, I make it a point to stop by Caffrey’s—the food is incredible, the atmosphere is on point, and the customer service never disappoints!!

Food was great, service was good but a little on the slow side in my opion considering how busy it was when we visited. All in all we had a good experience and will return

Food and drinks were very delicious! Our service was horrible - waitress ignored us to chat with patrons at the bar, she never checked on us while we ate or asked if we wanted more drinks, and we had to go find her to get our check so we could leave.

Table of 7. Most enjoyed the food. Chicken wrap was pressed chicken tenders though. Don't recommend that. Server was great. Will go back and try something different.

An outstanding sports pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere! You're always greeted with a friendly smile, and Marcy sets the gold standard for bartending and service excellence. Highly recommend!

Walked in, half empty, stood at door for several minutes. NO ONE even came up to greet or take you to a table. One worker walked by me three times, just looked at me and walked away.

What the Hell, no sign saying wait to be seated or seat yourself. Needed a place to take family and friends since we are new to the area. Won't be this place.
