I have been there many times in the last three months. The staff are fantastic. Nikki is super nice and does a great job of engaging with her clients. The pub itself have a good esthetic and is what you'd expect from an Irish pub.
As for the food, to begin, their menu is flat our wrong on a few entries. Despite being on the menu, the never have haddock fish and chips, their beef dip is served with gravy, not jus, and the burger descriptions are identical on two entries despite being actually different. This has been pointed out the the management and they can't be bothered to reprint them correctly. These are not expensive. they are simple laminated pieces of paper and it's not recent as these menus look like they've been left out out in a winter storm for a month.
I've tried a number of their dishes and it's mostly horrible. They manage to get their Pub Pies and pasta specials right but, for the rest, you're more likely to win the lottery than find anything decent. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered something only to be told it's sold out.
The kitchen doesn't care, either. Regardless of what you order, the kitchen send whatever the feel like. Want an 8oz burger patty? Too bad, have two 4 oz. Don't want jalapenos? Too bad, you're getting them. Don't want onions? Too bad, you're getting them. Want cheddar cheese instead of swiss? Too bad, take what you get.
I have no idea how you can screw up a burger patty but they managed to serve me two hockey pucks - both in texture and colour. I'm pretty sire they were reheated, as well.
It's a shame as this location is close to me and the staff are wonderful. Unfortunately, I can no longer deal with the food. It's simply unacceptable quality.

Wings are still some of the best in Scarborough, especially the smoky tequila lime.

Not sure what to say about this place. Found the food was expensive $27 for one order of fish and chips tax included. Seems like a lot of money for the amount of fish you got and chips. Something about the place can't quite put my finger on it. It appears to be inviting, but once you're there it seems something seems off. Sometimes. It's the comments of the staff that I hear as they pass by. Sometimes it's it's what's not being said, but what's being seen. Not a lot of people but it has its set of regulars. Nice option to have a patio outside as well as in. Karaoke. Night was good. Only been there once. Don't think I'll go back. Not sure. Food was okay on the night that we went before karaoke to see how things were. Food was very good. Karaoke night! Lot more expensive a lot. Less food. Now that could be because it was after 9:00 p.m. and it's usually finger foods at that time for most restaurants. Just something to note. Again as in the Mandarin. Please go there and check for yourself first. I always believe it's better to see for yourself besides listening to someone else. Thank you

This is a great Irish pub. Big dining room, lots of comfortable tables and chairs, pool table, dart board. The food is great, nice selection of beer and other drinks. Lots of free parking. Highly recommended!
Authentic, Irish bar in a great neighbourhood! Love the decor
needs some local live music - food is fine : maybe a bit more home cooking / Excellent location with lots of parking. Scarborough location with real proper Guinness. A terrific pool room as well for a game night.
