Service was horrible. I wasn’t served and I was ignored when I tried to get service, so I left.

The moment you walk in you can feel the atmosphere consume you.Very friendly staff. Cool Irish live music (Thursday night) first time I was ever here and got the steamed seafood platter. (24.99)The clams were a bit sandy for my taste. Mussels were cooked perfectly, crab legs slightly overdone, but still a great flavor for everything.. Only reason it's not a 4 star is the superb service. Awesome place. If you're in the reading area, this is an absolute must.

The queen cut Prime Rib was a little too salty but was good quality and a great deal for 15$.Oysters were super fresh. Salad dressings are fantastic.

Waitstaff was on the ball! Super sense of humor, not too loud, so great conversation with friends. Everyone loved the food. My steak was a bit overdone for medium. But overall? We'll most likely be coming back!

Definitely too quiet on a Saturday for such an awesome place for food and drinks.Had their Scotch eggs, Ugly pretzel, and crab cake sandwich. The extra $2 for fries is worth it. Good food, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service.Get a table by the fireplace during the winter.

Exceptional service. Waitress acknowledged we were there for a show at the arena. Promptly brought us drinks, food, and check. Should have gone back after the show. Do not recommend parking in the parking garage. Took 45min to get out. Find street parking.

Ugly O is my wife and I's go-to spot. No matter what we're hungry for, something here will hit the spot. Every different dish we've had hits the taste buds differently and I cannot recommend this place enough.

Cannot rate this place as we were turned away. We were asked if we had reservations and I explained that we came for a Guinness and we told to go next door. This is the first time ever that I’ve been turned away from an Irish pub! Unbelievable.
