GO HERE. Although my sister ~did~ get served an expired canned alcoholic drink that made her stomach hurt…the Guinness and live band karaoke upstairs made up for it. The live band karaoke was PHENOMENAL and SUCH an amazing fun time.
Great atmosphere and good pub food. Was a little dark at first, but my eyes adjusted to the light.

They will HOUND you for that $10 minimum but can’t even be bothered to crank the A/C. Honestly this place is just weird, and just like the other reviews state, the wait staff are rude and also weirdly presumptuous. My friends and I were initially excited to come here for trivia night. Before trivia, we stopped at a place that was basically next door for some ice cream. We ate our ice cream and realized we were getting pretty close to the start of trivia, so we entered the building with our basically empty ice cream cups so we could throw them out in there. Well this infuriated the one server. She came over and gave us a heck of an attitude and scolded us for the empty cups of ice cream, saying “there’s a $10 minimum each, ya know, and here you are with ice cream.” We said we fully intended to buy $10 worth of drinks and appetizers (which we did by the time trivia was over). I totally get that we shouldn’t come in with outside food, but 95% of it was eaten and we just needed to discard the cups at that point. We proceeded to order drinks, sodas, and apps to enjoy while playing trivia. This didn’t stop the server from going around to all four of us separately and reminding about the $10 minimum. I was so close to just handing the rude server a ten dollar bill just to get her to shut up about it. And to top it off, the wildly obnoxious trivia host also went on a rant about how each of the patrons needs to purchase a minimum of $10 food and drink. If your business is THAT stressed out about this $10 minimum, that raises so many red flags, including 1.) it’s just tacky to harass your customers for $10+ and 2.) it makes one wonder how well your business is doing if you need to remind your customers all throughout the night about the minimum. Also, if you’re that worried about making sure you’re meeting a certain quota for the night, just charge $5 at the door for trivia. That’s much less annoying. Oh, and lastly, don’t go there if you plan to be a designated driver or if you’re someone who doesn’t/can’t drink. I asked for a Dr. Pepper and the rude server said “we don’t have any,” so I asked for a Root Beer and she said “we don’t have want” and then I said Sprite and guess what… they don’t have any. Apparently they only have Coke and Ginger Ale. I get that it’s a pub, but it’s 2025 and almost everywhere has at least soda options for those not drinking. Very weird experience and a very hostile environment and I was sweating bullets the entire time because the A/C wasn’t on. Thankfully I have a different spot I usually go to for Thursday night trivia!

Karaoke, live and on stage, pull up guitar tabs and make some music its Saturday night. Happy anniversary
The bar staff were lovely, the atmosphere is great and the band were very talented but we went specifically for the karaoke and I signed up when it started at 9pm and waited until 12:30am but my name was never called. After asking the lady running it how it works, it turns out you have to either know the staff already or bribe the band to play your song (after already paying a $7 entry fee). If you want to do karaoke I wouldn't recommend going here. Save your money and go somewhere else.
In for a drink and musing a week ago. Great traditional Irish music upstairs, very relaxed vibe.

Save your time, servers are rude and disrespectful, place has a weird odor, definitely unclean, didn’t even stay for our beers since the servers were being so disrespectful. You would think paying customers would be treated with respect, then you would be sadly mistaken. Save your time, money, and aggravation with this place.
