When visiting the nearby Hobby Bunker, we always go to Harrington's. Food is great.

Attended a financial planning workshop here on the second floor. The staff was awesome. I left a good tip so it only cost me a little bit of money, because the financial planner covered the cost of dinner.

Parking: The fish dinner was awesome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Probably fine on the first floor but I was on the second floor and I don't think there's any wheelchair access there.

Good service and friendly. I sure most of the food is pretty good but my fried fish was mushy on the bottom where it was sitting on my steak fries and pretty disappointing.

We found this place and the reviews were great and did they live up the their reviews! Drinks, service and the food was fabulous. My boyfriend got the fried chicken sandwich and he was so impressed with the quality of of the chicken & I got the drunken tips. The BBQ sauce was delish and the veggies were fresh!

Stopped in on a Friday night. Place was busy but was seated within 5 minutes close to the bar. Drink orders were taken immediately. Smithwicks was delicious on draft.Ordered the pretzel appetizer, and buffalo wings. Both came out within 15 minutes and were great. Also placed an order for a Reuben sandwich and fish tacos. Those came out in 15 minutes as well and were amazing. Only thing missing was the guacamole for the fish tacos.Great Irish pub with cozy atmosphere. Will be back to try out the rest of the menu!

Parking: Not many parking spots on the street.

We just got back from a trip to Ireland & wanted more! Stopped in for the first time. The food was amazing, and I am still thinking about the Irish Whisky Gravy Chicken. Husband got the Fish n Chips, also good.We ordered the tenders as an app & they were nice and juicy, yet properly crisped. The hot honey sauce we ordered actually seemed more like Buffalo & unfortunately came with a blue cheese pairing. I wish we were given an option for ranch or to save sauce/a ramekin since (understandably) extra sauce is an extra cost.It took a long time to get our meal order in, the nice waitstaff had a lot of tables & while they stopped for a few seconds to get us another round of drinks, they turned away before we could even ask one word to put in food. So we weren't about to wait for a potential sauce switch. I've been in the service industry & mentioned we may have gotten someone else's, JIC, but were told the hot honey sauce is very similar. For those who are also curious, tastes like Buffalo with some sweetener & could easily be fooled! I do hope they can have even just 1 more support staff for when there's a rush- just to help when needed. We were pretty hungry and excited about all the menu options.The atmosphere gets low stars from me & is the reason for -1 overall star. I'm tempted to do -2 because it was so invasive to our experience. The music was so loud, it was as if the place turned into a nightclub after dinner service. We were next to an extremely boisterous table with 2 adults, clearly trying to compete with the music & it made it impossible for us to have a conversation of our own. This place is not friendly for all people with disabilities & not inclusive for people who are hard of hearing or D/deaf. Luckily one of us has full hearing.I look forward to trying this place again, do hope it is quieter. Even the waitress was complaining to a table nearby that the music was too loud. Maybe it's more tame at lunch. There's lots of dishes on the menu we hope to try, there's a great selection. If it's not lunch time, then we'll aim for takeout. Sure is something if a young adult says it's too loud ?Could be biased since we had just come from Ireland but the Guinness tasted different here- more dark, roasted, almost with a thicker coffee flavor. Had to switch to something else personally. Gotta hurry & try more Guinness elsewhere- maybe we're not getting the same quality as overseas!

Parking: We struggled to find parking on a Thursday evening. Drove around the block twice. Found parking at a nearby restaurant that was closed (omelet house or something). There wasn't even an accessible parking space nearby available, which would be a problem for anyone truly needing it.However, this may be completely different on weekdays or slower nights!

Wheelchair accessibility: May not accessible. Doorways don't seem wide enough. Crowded and tight corners, but maybe with advance notice, they could arrange the table by the door. Cannot 100% confirm this, but as an advocate, would recommend calling ahead. Food is worth the effort!

Pub style atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is good. Always something for everyone.

Parking: Free public parking around the restaurant. Often space can be found in the public lot across the street. Sometimes you may have to circle around a couple times to find a spot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu options. Would recommend for kids 5 and up. Does get kind of loud as people are talking so that may not be ideal for littler Kids.

Bartender shut us off after one drink and was ignorant and rude. Will never go back to this establishment ever again.Erica was extremely rude and arrogant. We had a 56.00 tab for 7 of us 5 of us were not drinking. I bumped into a chair with 5” heels on coming into the bar and she held that against us. Peeps go somewhere else!!!
