It’s a cozy sports bar in a lively area of town. The food is great, and at a decent price. Th staff are pleasant and inviting, plus you’ll often find the owner himself working alongside the staff. It may not be the flashiest, but I can’t think of many places as welcoming as this!

This place is epic! In town for Atlanta vs Pittsburgh Roller Derby and this place graciously hosted the afterparty. They handled the crowd, food delivery was flawless, and the fact that the owner came out to meet us made this even more amazing.The overall generosity and professionalism by this staff was above anything we could have expected.Adult beverage selection was incredible. I felt the food prices might be a bit high for a pub, but well worth it. Corn beef reuben was insanely delicious.Will be back in Cleveland in July and hope to revisit this place. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience

Best French onion soup I've ever had...The Cod on the other hand was the worst I've ever had. Though generous with the portions, it was like deep fried moosh with way to much breading. Please fix!

Super cozy, friendly spot! Visiting from Atlanta for medical care for my 15 month old daughter and they treated us like they'd known us forever, kept her entertained, and served badass burgers (get the au poivre, simple but PERFECT.) Definitely coming back next time we're in town.

I used to get burgers here because they are delicious. However, one day I tried the chicken maraslla, and never went back. I also get Brussels sprouts. Together, they make up 2 meals. They will happily box up your leftover and you are good to go.
Great food and service. Drinks are free pour and perfectly poured!

Update: Owner is pretentious & rude but i certain he's oblivious to this fact. Which explains why he has a high turnover staff rate.Kensington Pub in Cleveland Heights used to be my go-to spot until tonight's culmination. It all started over under cooked fries. I voiced my concern, but the owner intervened abruptly, creating tension.His refusal to listen when we declined the fries but offered to pay turned the situation sour. His repetitive use of "ignorant" hit hard, feeling like a racial slur in 2023.The owner's escalation, continuously calling me "ignorant" despite my attempts to explain its impact, was hurtful and disrespectful. This experience tainted my view of a place I once enjoyed. Overpricing and ignoring reasonable requests contradict basic customer service.Blaming me for insufficient tipping and his reliance on customer tips seemed unfair, especially with high price stuff like $10 corn dog, $9 fries or 3 flat chicken tenders for $12. His dismissive and racially charged language made it clear that this place isn't welcoming for people of color.This encounter shattered the good experiences I had here. The decline in customer service, particularly from the owner, has made it impossible to recommend this place. I hope for improvement, but until then, it's not a place I'd suggest for anyone, especially if you're a person of color.Please note: tonight's rudeness and disrespect is not an isolated issue but it is the last.

It was my first time being there so I ordered a corned beef sandwich to go. When I got home I took my first bite and the sandwich was on point. The man that took my order was really nice and so was the bartender. I definitely have to come back for more. Thank you.

Only due to how incredible the eats are in this joint, do I find it unjust I cannot assign a sixth star for them. Their corn beef alone is unrivaled and I truly believe their Au Pau Burger could be the best burger I have ever eaten in my life. Talking about it makes me want one right now! Pro-tip: Add a slice of cheese and add some bacon!If you order their Mac and cheese, you can't go wrong either! Pro-tip: Add their corn beef on top of that Mac and cheese baby.(It's only a mild-mannered dive bar until your first bite)
