In Short – Next door to the Mercury Theater, this upscale watering hole features an artful tin ceiling and a polite (and mostly Irish) staff that serves pub fare with cloth napkins in a wood-accented setting. Booths line the wall opposite the bar, with a few tables at the front by the windows. On the menu: sandwiches and burgers, plus shepherd's pie, meat loaf, fish-and-chips and a crusty, creamy dish of mac and cheese.

Terrible, not family friendly or enjoyable
by cooper4
it was myself, my wife and 2year old son on a Thursday night. we sat on the patio. we waited too long to be served and hated the "shoe string " fries, just burned and hard. our server could have cared less and seemed over worked. unlike other reviews, none of the staff was Irish and nothing was very authentic. after the meal, we used an Entertainment Book coupon buy one menu item get one free. we got our son's $4 hotdog for free. upon mentioning it to the manager, he said that that's how they do it, if we got an appetizer, that's what would have been free. Not helpful, almost argumentitive. I will never go back. for a place in a family filled area, with lots of family eating, it was not kid friendly or enjoyable.
- Pros: skirt steak frite
- Cons: staff and the rest of the food

Bad business
by CSMobileUser
Very poorly run restaurant. Bounces employee payroll checks! A joke of a place!

Huge Portions!
by JGrownden
Great food! The portions are so huge, but very delicious. They have a great bar selection. The patio is perfect for summer. Great atmosphere and is the perfect Irish Pub. Our service wasn't too good, but she had a lot on her hands so I didn't hold it against her. Definitely plan on going back to try other items on the menu!

There's a traditional Irish music session on Tuesday evenings, plus more live music Wednesday through Sunday beginning at 9pm.
When to Go:
It may be dead everywhere else, but Sunday is typically the rowdiest night to go. A lot of the industry crowd filters in on their night off.
