Worst pint of Guinness I’ve ever had but what an amazing atmosphere for a bar. Order a light beer and a shot here. Don’t waste you money on the Guiness served in a plastic cup.

I like their vegan options. Jackfruit egg rolls are my go to. It’s a sauce they give you & it’s so good. Waiter/waitress are always nice. However it’s a bit dark with no chairs at the bar. So don’t expect the dine in experience. It is a night club/bar so I wouldn’t take that away from them.

The bartenders tonight after the 12/10 Jingle Ball concert were TERRIBLE. Watered down Jameson and no ginger ale in the gun. Just carbonated water. When asked if they would fix it, the answer was no. They then added gratuity to our two drink check. Avoid this place.

Dined here before an event at Ford Field (only an 8 min walk away). In Greektown area, this older pub offers patio seating (to accommodate for larger parties) that does have heaters in the winter and TVs to watch sporting events. Typical bar/pub atmosphere, service was ok (our waitress wasn’t the greatest, as she missed placing two of our 11 party members orders and then completely forgot about 1 entirely, claiming she “couldn’t read her own handwriting”)?? Overall food was good (vegan party members enjoyed the beyond burgers but did not care for the jackfruit Reuben.) Fries are very tasty, fish tacos were good, buffalo chicken wrap was flavorful & filling and the regular burgers & Reuben were good, too. Pepsi products a minus. Definitely an option if you are in the area and need a convenient bite to eat before heading to an event in downtown Detroit. (Near Greektown Casino)

Not sure if I got the wrong order. I ordered the $18 taco salad. When I got home and opened it, it was just leaf-lettuce with ground beef on top and a little tomato. Thats it. No shredded cheese, no chips and queso that the menu describes, no taco shells, Just plain leaf lettuce and ground beef and some jalapeno slices. Its not a taco salad. Not even close.

The atmosphere is great and so are the bartenders. Only complaint is they need to get the constant drug usage in the bathrooms under control.

Not anywhere near a pub atmosphere. 80's hair band music. Very pricey for what you get. Do not get the fish tacos, absolutely bland,no taste. But to make up for that,they put a whole bunch of jalapenos on it. Might be a good spot to get gooned on the weekends but eat somewhere else.

Amazing bar staff, a place run by good people. Haven't ordered much food but what I got was good, the community is really what makes it. Will be back as many times as my liver allows.
