Stopped in for a quick drink because we had heard of the place before and wanted to check it out. We were only passing through so we did not have time to stay very long.

Nice affordable option in Saratoga Springs. Went here to kill some time at the bar and came back a few weeks later for a proper meal which was also good. I haven't tried all their menu, but the Shepard's pie was good!

This place is hilarious: I ordered cauliflower bites, and when it never came, I located the server who apologized, said my ticket probably got lost, and she would bring them to my table. Instead she came to my table not once, but twice to tell me that they had located my ticket and they were hard at work preparing for my cauliflower bites. Impatient (because an hour had passed by), I told the server that if she didn’t have cauliflower bites the next time she came to my table there would be hell to pay. No cauliflower bites showed up, but the assistant to the manager came out to tell me that I was rude to the server, and would I still like an order of cauliflower bites. I said, “no, I changed my mind; I don’t want an order of cauliflower bites.” I don’t know what they are, and I don’t much care, but apparently this kitchen takes tickets very seriously. Serving food, not so much.

The WORST chicken wings I've ever had! Emaciated looking, cooked in oil that tasted like it hadn't been changed in weeks.The bathroom was a disgrace. Dirty, broken urinal . Never spending another dime there!

I wish I ate more we only had wings but they were delicious! It was New Year's Eve and we were there for Irish music and beer. Considering it was so busy I am happy to report the extreme kindness of the wait staff. We walked in and the hostess was so inviting and kind on a very hectic night for her I'm sure. I would love to return on a normal night and have a meal. I'm from out of the area. Thank you for your kindness Happy New Year!

Been coming here for years with a large group for a annual conference. We had always came here spent tons of money and tipped very well. This year was a totally disgusting show of disrespect and just plain "little man syndrome who has a little power." A few of use came in and enjoyed a great dinner then headed back to our hotel for a bit without any issues. Wait staff was polite and quick and was rewarded generously. Later on we returned to meet up with several of our colleagues as we have done every year. When I say several I am talking nearly 100 plus people. Upon entering we passed 20+ people walking out stating that the bar tender told them all to leave. Surprised to say the least but we still went inside and went up to order some drinks. As we walked up to the bar we witnessed the a young short male bartender screaming at a young lady. He then told her to get the f out. When 2 gentlemen at the bar spoke up for her, they were told to leave also. We were able to order our drinks....3 beers. I handed the guy $40 he cashed us out the threw my change directly into his tip jar. I asked him how much the beers were and he walked right away from me. As I stood there waiting for him to return we witnessed him kick out 5 more people, yet we could not figure out why since he just all of the sudden started screaming at them and many others. Identifying that this bartender was " off his meds" I returned back to our group. While we were finishing our drinks another 4 or 5 people were told to leave and several of our colleagues that were still there began leaving and told us that we were going to meet up at a new place since obviously this place did not want us there. We finished our drinks and returned our bottles to the bar, told the crazy bartender thank you and good luck with kicking everyone out. As i walked back to my group, the crazy bartender came out from the bar and followed me screaming that I was kicked out and needed to leave. I told him that we were leaving but could I ask why? He then asked what I had said, so I repeated " Thank you and good luck with kicking everyone out". This is when his meds must have kicked in because it was like flipping a switch. He told me that I can stay and the next beer was on him. Who acts like this????? CRAZY! We left the establishment and more than likely will never return. We met up with 80 - 100 of our colleagues ( several who had been treated like garbage by your bartender) at another establishment were we had a great time spent a ton of money and were we most likely will return next year.Hopefully the management reads this and does something about it. If they would like more details or would like to apologize, reach out. This was disgusting and if it were my business......I would be deeply ashamed!

I have been coming to this place since I was a kid when my parents brought me here for dinner. As an adult, this place is still one of my absolute favorites. First of all, the food is amazing. I was there last night and ordered my usual O'Reilly sandwich with waffle fries. Every time I order this, the fries come out perfectly crispy. The bread and the corned beef are delicious as well. Other things that I order frequently that are always amazing are the garlic parmesan wings and the Shepard's pie. You wouldn't think by the looks of the place that the food would be top tier, but it is. The environment is great too because there are three large rooms, one for eating, one for concerts, and one for drinking/ hanging out. The vibe of this place is so chill but also so fun. Shout out to Nick the bartender because he was so friendly and provided amazing service! 10/10 recommend, it's my go to spot and one of the only places in Saratoga where you can get delicious late night food!

Sheperd's pie hit the spot after a game of tennis! Bangers and mash was not quite on par, for me. Restaurant was old...as noted in their description. Waitress was upbeat and her enthusiasm was nice to have!
