Just strolling downtown when we came across the menu on the sidewalk and we really liked the look of it so we stopped in. It’s a very nice place, has a very comfortable feeling when you walk in the door.
Food was really good and the Atmosphere was really nice.
Fried pickles starter was amazing, fresh friend and nice thick slices. French onion soup was really good, you can tell it was made fresh, onion chunks were thick and the broth had great flavor.
Corned...

Fantastic restaurant week dinner experience - lamb lollipops with harissa sauce were delicious. Manager provided excellent customer service resolving a snafu that melted away into nothing. I will be back.

If your looking for an authentic Irish restaurant look somewhere else. Not one Irish worker besides maybe the manager but he was on the phone with a buddy the whole time so knows. The corn beef Sammy was very dry and depressing I was looking forward to it. Drinks were good but the 70’s-80’s American music doesn’t make you feel like you’re in an Irish pub. Could be great just needs work. Overall I wouldn’t go back.
