Walked in around 8pm on a Saturday night. Ordered a shot of Slane and a beer. Tipped $2 for the round. Drank half the beer, had to visit the men's room, so I put a bar coaster over my drink. By the time I got back to the bar 5 minutes later, the male bartender had already thrown away my beer. I called him out on his unprofessional behavior and had him pour me a replacement. Afterwards, the female bartender kept asking me, "Are you done?" any time I put a coaster on top of my drink. I responded by turning over the empty glass and placing it on the service rail.

We were early so I’m not sure about the later atmosphere but the bad was just setting up as we were headed out. Beer was cold and food was great. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and drinks. The Nutty Irishman was delicious. I got it as an after dinner desert drink. Like a nutty chocolate shake with a kick! Yum!

Great Irish pub! Nice selection of whiskeys and beer.

They have worked hard to create a legit Irish pub feel (food, whiskey, beer, atmosphere, etc). The food is quite good. Stafing has been a challenge for them, so service can be spotty. lif you have the patience, you can have a good experience here.

One of my go to places in Appleton. Just about as authentic as you can get for an Irish pub in the States. Great selection of whiskey, Guinness and the like on tap and poured properly. There are often very good musical performances there. And when Matt puts on an event it is top notch. This combined with the homey atmosphere and friendly clientele make it a place worth trying multiple times.

By far my favorite pub in the Valley. Matt, the owner, takes the time to get to know his guests on a personal basis. I always get called by name when I come in. Everyone must check this little gem a block off of College Ave! #

Came to visit here with a friend and immediately love the atmosphere!Irish through and throughWe ended up getting 2 glasses of a vanilla porter that was so smooth, and to pair it with an order of the Fries with Irish Curry Sauce was so nice.We will be coming again to try more of the food (Shepards pie most likely)And shout out to the drunk individual complimenting my beard and asking if we wanted to join in on the UNO game, might have too next time!

Vegetarian options: Definitely have Vegetarian options!!!

Best place in town for a beer and a good time. The bartender was awesome. The owner gave us a free shot and was all about having a good time.

Pub has a great selection of beer and cocktails. The Irish spin on a long island iced tea is superb. This bar (unlike the *redacted* bar in the area) will actually take the time to look at your passport card if they were to assume (incorrectly) that your ID is fake. The rings game is better than the pool table offered at the *redacted* bar.Service at the bar is top notch.
