    Wonderful ambiance. Initial service excellent, but very slow, inattentive after food was brought. Food was good. Seemed a bit overpriced but okay. Would recommend as a good choice.

    Booked a table to view the Music and classic Irish dance. Our waiter was amazing and so helpful and the food was delicious! My husband ordered his standard whiskey sour cocktail and said it was the best he'd ever had. The traditional Dublin Coddle / Veggie Burger / Chicken wings were all tasty. The pub has a beautiful aesthetic and the traditional music and Irish dance made it even that much more enjoyable.

    Il personale è stato gentile e veloce. Faceva un po' di pressione per liberare il tavolo. Il cibo però non è stato all'altezza di quanto mi ricordavo. Non mi é piaciuto molto

    The food, service and entertainment were exactly what you would expect from a traditional Irish pub, congratulations! Special mention to our waiter for the evening Carlos who ensured we were looked after and treated very well. Thank you, I highly recommend a visit.

    Both times the staff was very attentive and the food was delicious. On Wednesday nights we were entertained with some Irish music. Very nice evening!

    Near our hotel, we went for the music and were throughly entertained. The place was beautiful, and had a lot of curiosities to look at. We had booked a table ahead of time, and had a great view. Excellent service and drinks. The burgers were good, as well and the chips with cheese. The coddle was not well done, and the chicken pot pie was disappointing. Stickers with simple menu items.
