Have been here twice since moving to the area a few months ago. Both times have been great experiences. The food is excellent and they have a great beer selection, offering from a bunch of local breweries! We visited for Valentine's Day, and I was given a flower at the end of our meal. Such a nice touch! This is definitely going to be a staple restaurant for us.

I’ve been going to this place for years watch a lot of bartenders come and go. Taught each and one of them how to make an Irish trash can drink. Which is the equivalent to a Long Island ice tea you just add Red Bull. As a result each time I came I noticed the price consistently rise until two drinks became 52 dollars. I am a black woman it was clear I wasn’t welcomed but I ignored the dirty looks but the price became so unbearable I was forced to not return.

I have been coming to this place since I was kid. The staff and the owner are always friendly and treat me and my friends like family. The food is always good quality and served hot. The Irish whiskey BBQ burger is my favorite burger around and my go to every time I visit. Truly a wonderful restaurant.

This is a really nice Irish pub. The interior and decor are pretty typical of a proper Irish pub, and it's rather large on the inside. They have great food here and we've been a few times. On this visit we just got apps. Sitting on the bar side, you still get table service but you seat yourself (you have to wait to be seated on the restaurant side). We got the 5 alarm wings and they were spicy but not super hot - I'm not complaining :-) We also got the truffle fries and Murphy skins. Both were pretty good. Overall, great service and great food. We'll be back.

This is one of those cozy local favorites that is so good you almost don’t want to tell people about it. The staff are all friendly, the food has been perfect every time I’ve visited, and the atmosphere is homey and comfortable. Food wise I’ve gotten a burger on three different visits and always enjoyed. I’ve also had the nachos which are huge, and the ribs which are slide-off-the-bone perfection.

I keep choosing different things off the menu and they never disappoint. Although,the Shepherd's pie is fantastic and my staple.
