    We were visiting the area and this place came recommended. The ambience was a bit boisterous and loud due to the band but we sat upstairs so not as bad although we did have to shout at each other to be heard. Seemed like a student hang out as people kept showing up who knew each other which was neat. Services was good until it started to get crowded then it was a bit spotty. Loved that they had so many Irish beers on draft and at a reasonable price. Food overall was delicious and the portions HUGE for the price. Clam chowder was adequate but hit the spot on a cold and rainy night. The shepherds pie was good but the steak tips were very tender and very flavorful and the portion could have fed me for three meals. We'll be back!

    My husband and I enjoyed the lively mix of people across all age groups on this Friday night out. The parking validation will give us incentive to come again. Wow! They make it painless! Ambience is like an old library-very comfy. We appreciated having a quiet corner given my husband’s hearing impairment which makes it difficult for us when there’s a lot of ambient noise.
