    The food was really good, the service wasn't the greatest. We walked in trying to find someone to help us check in, no one was around (besides bartender) to help or acknowledge we were there until we went all the way to the back(near kitchen). All they say is sit anywhere. Finally sit and no service for first 15min we were there. At least food was really good, service on the other hand could use quite a bit of tweaking.

    We were there at 5:30pm on a weekday before a baseball game, and were extremely disappointed there was only an event menu available for food. We chose this restaurant based on outdoor patio seating and the menu items we saw online, to find the items we wanted were unavailable to order, they had an "event menu" for the evening, which was VERY limited. The service on the patio was extremely slow, at least 10 minutes from when we arrived until we were waited on, and the same from when we ordered a beer to when we received it. We ordered fish & chips & corned beef sandwich, both were very good, a little pricy for the portion size.

    Wonderful Irish pub! Very good staff, terrific food & an abundance of alcohol. Sidewalk dining is a treat & and the location amid entertainment venues can't be beat.

    The most horrible experience I have ever had! We made reservations several weeks ago and confirmed the reservation again yesterday. We arrived there today and couldn’t even find a waitress who would talk with us. It was extremely loud, hot, dirty and super drunk people everywhere. The waitress we finally got ahold of said we they cancelled all reservations yesterday and called everyone. This was a complete lie! We were able to talk to a manager after about 15 minutes and she said they don’t have any open seat and gave us a disgusting look. She had a very condescending tone and was belligerent. I am going to contact the owner and inform him of how horrible it was! We drove over 70 mile to get there! Don’t ever go to this dump!
