The turkey burger was basic—nothing to write home about. But the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were fresh, which helped. Fries were hot and crispy, just right. The spicy chicken sandwich stood out: crunchy, well-executed, and the bacon took it up a notch. The maple waffle fries were a pleasant surprise—crispy, sweet-savory, and unlike your usual side. Service was spot-on across the board.

Working in the area so decided to give it a try. Cool little Irish bar. The weather was beautiful so they had the whole place open good cross breeze. Bartender was cool. Took care of us. I had a John Daly and the Chicken Cobb salad. The salad was good. I did dig in a little before the picture so it is bigger than the photo.
Was a Saturday so the menu was mainly brunch and breakfast.

It’s a pub. The food always hits. Good service. And it gets fun rowdy during games.

What a joy and treat to visit this one. The owners surely know what he's doing!

Great decor, affable staff, and a lovely back yard. The beer was fresh and the food was top notch, crispy fries and chix strip with delicious dressings to accompany.

Keep it up keep it real DW !

Dear Mr. Owner. I visited your bar after a few years of absence and I have known this place for 25 years and I found that nothing has changed. This is good and bad at the same time. The food is still decent but even the best food in a room that does not have air conditioning is not very pleasant. Technology has advanced and you do not have to install central air conditioning but one air conditioner right above the entrance door is a disgrace and a mockery. The only way to cool down here is to order another cold beer. Is this your way of running a bar? I really have a good opinion of the rest of your establishment but IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE AND TO INVEST SOME OF YOUR PROFITS so that customers feel more comfortable.

In NYC for the day and needed a spot with good food and smooth drinks and we were very happy to have landed here. Sitting by the windows in the back was a vibe too. 2 entrees and 6 drinks came out to about $150 and I’d pay it again. Bathroom is a bit small for the ladies but it was clean.

Amazing brunch deal! And very cozy atmosphere. Food is solid and fits the price.

I ordered the beef stew and got this. It’s more like a beef soup. Which would’ve been good if that’s what I wanted. This isn’t stew. Irish stew that I’ve had before is thick and hearty. This is a light broth. I was so disappointed. But the cottage fries and curry sauce were good!

strange behavior from the guy behind the bar (Mike), he shouldn't intervene in the business or the conversation of the customers. He should do his job, serve and stay quiet, that's it, he doesn't even deserve a tip.

Edit: Had a great time here once at an engagement party. Had a less great time once at a table due to poor service. Overall nice atmosphere with very solid food and affordable drinks
