The food is fantastic & atmosphere is awesome. Staff is attentive & the owner supports nonprofit events within the community.

This place never disappoints. Employee said he worked on perfecting the batter for the onion rings several days. The batter temperature everything effects results I have never tasted anything like it. This place is handicap accessible dog friendly to the point that your pet has a menu food exceptional as will be your evening if you share an hr of your time here

We really wanted to love this place. The bar is awesome and the wait staff is very friendly. Great Irish pub vibe. We went for Sunday brunch, and we were served drinks right away and put in our order at the same. I ordered the Boxty, and after 20 minutes, I was told they were out of Boxy but could sub home fried potatoes with the eggs and bacon. After waiting over 45 minutes, our food finally arrived. My potatoes were rubbery as though they were cooked 30 minutes earlier and then either microwaved or just sitting under a heat lamp too long. They forgot my bacon, and when the server brought it out, it was literally dripping in grease. My boyfriend’s toast was cold. Could have just been an off day for the kitchen, but a very disappointing experience. We won’t be back, not for food anyway.

Nice place. Was super busy and service was slower than I anticipated but it is still a great place. Food was hot and definitely homemade and that was awesome! Do not usually patronize a bar restaurant as that’s not my scene but recommended highly by friends. Would visit again when on vacation.

Food was excellent. Was seated and order was taken but once food was brought we were never checked on again. We would have liked to have ordered another drink all 6 of us. Had to go to bar to get our check. When there felt like I was interrupting conversation. Server more interested in the regulars at the bar. Disappointing.

The food is so greasy and even the "steamed cabbage' is actually boiled in vinegar ?

Solid Irish Pub with excellent Fish and Chips and Sheapards Pie. Still manages to keep a beachy feel to the place. Great seating options inside and out.

New to North Carolina. Food,service,conversation is great! Our new regular place to hang out in nc. My question is parking. On this Friday (7/26) parking was tight. Is it acceptable to park in golf cart parking if a golf cart is parked in car parking? I ask only because we had to skip tonight due to this.

Amazing food. My family will eat here every time we visit Wilmington. Our waitress was an absolute angel.
