Popped in here for a quick lunch while in town for the Railbird festival. Zero staff or indication on how their restaurant works...whether or not you need to go in to get your own drinks from the bar. QR codes on all tables, no wait staff. Completely kills the Irish pub, neighbourhood vibes. Don't ask for a tip if your visitors are doing all of the foot work of ordering, running their own drinks, etc. Food was mid...nothing remarkable and would suggest visiting another restaurant in the area to support the local economy that invests in staff.

I also ordered a few snacks along with the drinks, and the food quality was impressive. Everything was served fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service remained fast and organized even during busy hours, showing how well the team handled customers while maintaining a positive and welcoming attitude.

One thing that really stood out was the atmosphere. The music created a fun nightlife vibe while still allowing people to comfortably enjoy conversations. It’s a great place for casual outings, celebrations, or simply unwinding after a long day.

The bar also maintained excellent cleanliness and organization throughout the evening. The seating areas, tables, and counters were properly managed, creating a comfortable and enjoyable environment for customers.

This is becoming my go to pub. Nothing better than Smithwicks with a Paddy’s chaser, Irish sausage rolls, and Irish Curry fries.

The food was amazing! Had to order food through the QR table, but the waitress was super attentive and probably would have taken our order. She was on top of our drinks. I headed to the bar for a concoction by the awesome bartender that checked all the boxes. Burger, chicken tenders and pretzel bites got the best reviews from our table.

Great pints.

Great spot to sit outside and enjoy downtown Lexington. Got the best wings and a beer.

The service model of ordering from the QR code is ridiculous, you tip before the service but then the service is terrible. It's confusing and counter productive.
