One of the best and most consistent bar experiences in Portland - excellent food (don't sleep on dessert) and cocktails, extensive beer and aperitif list, great atmosphere and service. The happy hour is a good hook but prices are very reasonable as is, and it's our favorite late night spot to relax, chat and enjoy some excellent music - such a nice alternative to the Old Port.

Portland's best kept secret. Incredible bar program that curates some of the best beers and an encyclopedia of classic and innovative cocktails. Comfy pub fare and consistently executed UK classics. The vibes and the staff are top notch. These people are passionate and you feel it in every aspect of service and the product.

This is a great British/ Irish Style Pub with a modern twist! They have the best happy hour in ALL OF PORTLAND! Everyday 3-5pm & 9-Midnight! This is a place respected by locals! It’s not somewhere to go take your insta bathroom selfies, this is a place to have good affordable food and beverages! Love this pub!

Everything was amazing! Service, drinks, food, and vibes. Loved everything especially the little lamp lollipops and the scotch egg. My friend got the cod and swore by it.

Quickly carved out it's rightful place as one of Portland's best hangs. The neighborhood feel paired with one of the most satisfying menus of Euro fare classics is most welcome in a top notch food city strangely lacking a little of both these days. The four nitro taps ensures the perfect pint is close within reach, and the cocktail menu is both familiar and diverse. Don't sleep on the brunch, and like a nice pub across the pond, you'll leave with a smile and a couple of new friends thanks to the amazing and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Irish music on Sunday nights is one of Portland’s hidden gems!! Plus drinks you can actually afford.

Ive been here twice and thought I should review the place. It seems like it should be more expensive than it is. There's a good size beer list. Smaller menu but it won't disappoint. Scotch eggs are great. The pub salad was great and the cooks take pride in their work. I got the vegetable curry with chicken. Im waiting on that now. There was a live band playing traditional Irish music last time. That was great. This time its quiet but enjoyable. Im excited to come here again. Im in town on work and will definitely come back. Good food, good beer, good prices, good service. Great place! Highly recommend.

Finally made it in to check this place out! The atmosphere, warm, inviting, comfortable. Welll designed and priced menu. The options are great. An impressive unique bar menu with many enticing choices. The food arrived quickly, looked phenomenal and tasted better. The portions were worth every penny. The staff, top notch. The owner stopped at our table and was personable, polite and impressive. Above average experience and a destination I would frequent regularly from here on out. Make this place a must try, I strongly recommend it!

One of our favorite places. By far one of the best Scotch Eggs I've had and the food is always absolutely delicious! Staff is amazing too. And they are a great late night neighborhood spot for drinks and food.

The food is delicious, and the bartenders and wait staff, super nice. Love the parking too.
My new favorite place.
