    You don't really need reservations as it's a "sit where you want" type of place so I was confused and slightly embarrassed when I walked I'm and asked the bartender what was up. However, the food was amazing, there are a ton of beer choices, and the server was the cutest thing (male) I just wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home. Only because it's not really a reservation type of place do I give it less than five stars because the food was awesome, way better than I expected. My husband asked me to add that they didn't have potato soup, and what kind of Irish pub has no potato soup? Ha but he loved his dinner.

    Very energetic place. Not used to that, but a lot of young college folks were there. Live music was cool and the bar staff were very nice. Chris is the man!

    Was in the mood for Irish: saw the shepherd pie and was set; until I saw the filet and crab legs! Irish who?! The filet was perfect, crab was fresh and I'll be going back! Gotta try that pie!
