We dropped in on a cold rainy day looking for warmth, food and a welcoming atmosphere. We found it here. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection and the service was excellent.

Best of luck getting seated. Workers walked by and looked at me. Sign at door said wait to be seated. Perhaps I wasn't pretty or young enough to eat there. Did see wait staff wash their hands, on the upside. Won't attempt again. Found a different bar nearby, willing to seat me on arrival and very pleasant. I walked out and found a nicer place. Thanks for nothing.

Amazing pub. It was warm and cozy on a cold Salem March day, and all the food we ordered was out of this world delicious (fish and chips, shepherd's pie, beef stew). Great service, and great pub tunes playing. A truly memorable experience.

I took a chance and had the smoked fish chowder and it was a great surprise. While it had some strong flavor points it was also well balanced with the rest of the ingredients. Definitely recommend. The restaurant is lovely and the staff is a delight. I had a martini and it was proper! Thank you. PS: We're wondering why Salem and Boston, in general, prepare their meat as tips. Why that cut? Just wondering. I think it makes the meat a little drier than it should be.

Food was great, no complaints here. I loved the steak and potatoes. Everyone else in my party loved their food too. It was fantastic. It was a busy night when we went and because of that we did not see much of our waitress but she was super nice and made sure to attend to us despite the busyness. I felt super bad because it seemed like they were super understaffed but either way we got our food fast after we ordered and it was good. The ambiance was great with the cutest little lights but it was a little loud, but we didn't mind it at all. I didn't take any pictures because I ate it so fast.

Steak tips, pan seared salmon, and Shepard's pie were all amazing! Service was quick and our server was very kind. Our second time coming here and we'll definitely be back soon.
