    Great Irish Pub with great atmosphere and great service. Perfect for a drink and some food. Don’t sleep on their brunch! They have some classic Irish dishes and American classics. Super reasonable prices.

    Great spot, wish I could’ve caught the live music but the atmosphere was still nice. Got the egg rolls for the happy hour price, great deal for happy hour food.

    The staff here are extremely friendly and welcoming. It’s not a bad place to have a drink, but I would certainly stay clear of eating here. I asked the manager if he would eat my dish and he said no as it was awful. There was something in my dish which I couldn’t tell which part of the animal it came from. I ordered the beef stew. Upon looking at other Google photos of the same dish it appears that mine was lacking peas, onion, and celery too.

    Absolutely atrocious service and an apparently DISGUSTING kitchen. Asked if they could handle a shellfish allergy, waitress said no, order something not from the deep fryer. She leaves for ten minutes, comes back, I try to order something far from shellfish—she tells me I can’t order it. So apparently the condition of the kitchen is gross enough, and cross contaminated enough that they can’t handle a simple task. Mind you there are two items on the menu that include shellfish. Two. They are both sautéed shrimp. So being unable to handle anything from the deep frier, or the oven, which supposedly do not cook shellfish—-well read between the lines. It means the kitchen is disgusting, not to mention harmful, and does not follow laws and rules regulated by the FDA. No one back there is swapping gloves, no one back there is doing anything. Avoid if you’re vegan. Avoid if your human.
