Thrilled to have found this place while attending a training conference nearby. I am not ashamed to say I came here for lunch every day of the week The good: the atmosphere is as good as it gets for a pub. Quiet lunch stop, Friendly staff a traditional pub menu great whiskey selection and a gorgeous mirror backed ornate wood bar display. I swapped between both the Reuben and fish sandwich all week and highly recommend either. The bad: My major complaint is that this place is too far from my house but it may be good enough that I start looking for new apartments in the area. This is what it is to the maximum degree if you are in the mood for an Irish pub I don't think you can do better.

Went here for dinner while in Arlington. We got the chicken with whiskey sauce, broccoli and carrots, draft IPA, The food was delicious!Parking: There is definitely limited parking here. You can park in front of the restaurant. I guess it depends on the time of day you go but limited for sure

I Recommend for a fun Irish pub night. Visiting from out of town, we were quickly seated and treated like we were regulars. Great Atmosphere, well poured Guinness! Food was tasty. Great spot to be with friends and family. Bonus points for live music. Cheers!!!

Great Irish pub with a strange two floor layout. The location has parking The food is traditional bar fare with reasonable versions of Irish classics. Beer list is weak but the whisky list is solid with excellent prices.

I'm a regular and come to this pub annually for St. Paddy's. Today I went to go and grab some food and a few drinks... the older guy at the door tells me there's a $10 cover.. I ask "just to come in and have a few drinks and some food?" Then the guy casually says, "because it's St. Paddy's". I've always tipped at least 35%, every single time I've come here, The fact that they wouldn't let me participate in some St Paddy's day activities, rubs me wrong. Was it because I'm Hispanic? Taxing me, because they assume I won't tip? They didn't even announce it anywhere on their website or on their social media. Won't be coming here anymore. Service here has declined, noticeably. Ended up going to a better bar across the street. Better food, entertainment and drinks there anyhow. And no ridiculous made-up cover charge.

Was not happy with the service provided. Not worth the cost to come here. Would recommend going to a different place instead.
I loved this place. Good food, good drinks. Very kind servers. Not just for St Pattys day!

Great food, the best staff, and an owner who really cares about each guest. Can't go wrong with that formula!

The lamb stew was INCREDIBLE. Guinness was great. My first visit. Absolutely recommend this establishment. Hard to gauge the atmosphere on a cold Tuesday night, but the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I will return!!!

Nice renovations and added whiskey bottles. ATTENTION Bourbonites: I'd definitely pay attention when ordering whiskey here as the waitresses/bartenders are not familiar with bourbon. You'll see several misprints on their whiskey menu and also watched them pour the wrong drinks twice (for ex. ordered EHT SiB and they poured Small Batch). As prices very widely between pours this was concerning .Food was not the best considering the prices for it. Scotch eggs were just hardboiled eggs with a paper thin wrapping with mustard squirted on them at $16. Shepherd's Pie was all mashed potatoes with almost zero meat, again at $16. The Reuben and wings/ranch were the only saving grace. Service was OK. We were bombarded by 4 different servers within the first 10-15 mins of sitting down so no clear idea who our server was. The manager (Im assuming - older gentleman in shirt/tie) bumped the chair of a guest in our party and touched him all 4-5 times he passed by. It wasn't offensive just continual unwanted touch by a stranger. You can spend alot of $$ on renovations to become a whiskey bar but much more is needed to be considered one. Will return again to give it another shot in the future.
