Drinks were awesome and the live music was the best. My wife and I stumbled across this gem on a weekend getaway. There was a local music group playing Irish music with a mixture of instruments, some I recognize and others I didnt. Perfect spot to grab a quick bite, drink and listen to history. Saturdays from noon to 3pm.

Was on a business trip and this place was recommended to me as it was in walking distance from my hotel. It was like stepping into the past. Old school juke box or enjoy live music are certain nights. It felt like it was built specially for the local community and they treated you as such. Would absolutely go back!

Stopped here for a drink and snacks. It was a very nice place and seemed to be a place the locals go to. Service was great and we had a nice time.
Classic pub fare at modern prices. Convenient location. Only a few tables inside plus three in the street.

The fish and chips are excellent you get an entire side of fish and it's the tenderest I've ever had it falls apart it's so tender. Very small but very cozy I recommend it to everyone. Prices are very reasonable. And we are from Florida.

We were pretty disappointed with our recent visit. Teeny tiny drinks for $15 was the first strike, and they weren't even that good. I ordered one of their summer special cocktails, and it's served in one of those tall skinny glasses loaded with ice, so it's gone in two sips..and it wasn't even made correctly, super tart and limey. Then we got wings, which were also teeny-tiny. Smallest wings I've ever seen. They were tasty and cooked correctly though. Next strike was the lobster bisque, served luke warm, and just not that good. We also had the Cuban, which was just ok, nothing special. The service was super slow as well. Overall I'd say the food is ok, priced reasonably, but it's nothing special and just doesn't stand out in a crowded field of places serving pub food, and the drinks were very small and $15, and not very good. We are definitely not coming back.

Brought my husband here for lunch on his birthday as we continued on to Portland. There was impromptu live music from a circle of people sitting at the front, complete with instruments... just like I had witnessed in Ireland. Food was very good, attentive wait staff. We parked at a very convenient parking garage, which cost $1 (!!) for our time spent there. Recommend a visit!

It is a tight space, but that was on St. Paddy's Day. We ended getting our food to go (fish and chips, and the reuben with homemade corned beef, delicious). And despite the chaos, the servers and bartenders were attentive to everyone with smiles on their faces. You can't say that all of the time on a very busy night 😉
