The nastiest service I have gotten in a long time. The waitresses kept passing my table. I have waited there for 40 minutes, I didn’t even got the water. Just sitting with the given menu and that’s about it wow how disappointing

Love the look and atmosphere of this place. felt like our server was rushing us, even though the restaurant was mostly empty. Also, sever didn't clear plates promptly from the table which was small and got crowded very quickly. Food was just OK.

Opentable Diner

Very friendly, responsive staff. We enjoyed happy hour drinks--a 12 oz Bloody Mary that had grest flavor for$4 and 12oz draft Gracie speci as l beer also$4. Disappointing that they were out of bangers on the Sunday late morning we went. Chose the Sunday Dinner featuring a delicious gravy over two kinds of potatoes-- mashed and crispy chunks-- and 2 generous slices of pork tenderloin. The meat was tender but a bit dry for my liking, although my granddaughter didn't find it so. The carrots were cooked crispy good, generous peas but we don't like peas. We split a toffee cheesecake that was very tasty. I will note that the coffee I ordered with it was excellent and served in a Irish coffee mug! I would have rated the food 4.5 were it an option. I lowered it from 5 for the pork seeing a tad dry and the lack of bangers. I'd return to try one of the bangers dishes and another happy hour drink because of the cheerful helpful staff.

A fun place that definitely felt like a proper pub in the UK. Somewhat noisy but not more than we would expect in a Pub and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Relatively authentic food - the fish on the fish & chips were a bit small in comparison to the UK but very delicious and crispy. The Scotch eggs were more than worth the calories and the Irish "nachos" had a ton of cheese and toppings - would be a full meal if we weren't sharing it. A great selection of beer and libations. My English husband was very happy to enjoy a Smithwicks on tap. We'll be back!

Just an amazing time. Service by Lydia was the best I've experienced in a while. Music was fun. The food was great, really good. Recommend the pub cheese pretzel. We will definitely be back soon!!

I stopped in randomly and there was an excellent musician performing. I had a couple of beers and some delicious Irish food (bacon and cabbage and potatoes) and enjoyed listening to the performer sing and play several different instruments.

The food was good. Not sure if its a place that's usually not in a hurry but service was very slow.

The Scotch egg didn't have much flavor. Other than that all of our meals were pretty good. I would definitely try it again.

Night bartender on 6-3-25 was rude, unprofessional, flippant, and had a nasty attitude. Seriously, the guy needs to work on his customer service skills as this is bad for business and unbecoming on his part. If you can't muster up enough decency to have common courtesy then you shouldn't be in the front of the house. I've seen people at McDonald's provide better service. How would you like to be treated when you go out to eat with your hard earned money?

Came here 2 hours before closing. The host was so disrespectful, she didn’t greet us with any words she literally just stared. As she proceeded to take us to the table, she sloppily threw the menus on the table and walked away without a word.

The menu was limited but the food was decent. Our waitress was nice.

Food is okay. But please note that they mislabel their pork tenderloin. It’s actually a pork loin. For those that know the difference, it can completely change your choice in menu item.

Also, they do sometimes have live music and it can be very loud, to where you can’t talk.

Really really great Irish pub, very authentic. Can't wait to visit again.

Seriously, the best traditional Irish food in NC. I had the bacon & cabbage and the day before, had the Scottish eggs. The bacon looked like three huge pieces of ham but tasted awesome. We go to lots of Irish pubs and have not seen these awesome treats. My favorite beer was on tap, St Bernardus. Never seen it on tap before. Here, it is just a staple since they opened eight years ago. We had been to Ireland last year and this place was exactly like the pubs there. The general manager, who was from Scotland designed the place and had all the bars etc built in Ireland and shipped here. A must go place for any Irish atmosphere fan. The place is a treat to go to.
