“It was our 40th wedding anniversary and we had an amazing experience at Newtons. Our server Dee was very nice and made sure we had everything. Our favorite was Brie. She made sure everyone was happy and even made us this beautiful dessert plate big enough for our entire family. We will def come back.“

“I am reviewing as a working musician who recently played a show at Bull McCabes. The staff treated us very well. We were fed, and there were no issues with the pay. The stage is very close to the street, load in was very easy. Three hour show went with no hitches. The Amtrak train did pass a couple of times and it was pretty loud, but quick.
It was a Friday night, and most of the tables outdoors were filled with our regulars and folks who came out specifically to see us. If you play here, it is a good idea to bring people. Load out was easy, and at 10:30 at night, no one bothered or begged from us. Would gladly play here again. Not the easiest accessible place, but they have really done the work, and we did have a fan in a wheelchair at the event. There were little kids in attendance for the whole show. Street parking was by fee until 7 pm, and the max was 5 bucks per vehicle. Do the staff a favor and come prepared to provide music through your own PA during your break.“

“Aside from the amazing staff/ownership, the outstanding beer selection and great food consider the fact that they have received 10 consecutive inspection scores of 100.0 which is unheard of! That matters! Think about the last time the tap line was cleaned at your current choice of bar or restaurant. Tap lines are nasty if not maintained. On any given day at TCP you will see them cleaning the line when they change a keg. If you have not seen this at your current top choice you may want to think about what's in your glass. It is not pretty! Oh, and the tap lines are not inspected. TCP does this because it's the right thing to do!!“

“A Classic Irish Pub and the Perfect Neighborhood Spot.

Whether you're craving a fresh draft beer or comforting pub food, this is the place to be. The menu is packed with delicious options. Don’t miss the creamy potatoo & cheese croquettes, classic boxty, the indulgent mac & cheese, the flavorful Tra’li Burger with rashers, or the hearty shepherd’s pie. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it a true neighborhood gem where lifelong friendships have been formed.“
