Date of visit: Wed Aug 23, 2023 Nice pub with a good selection of beer on tap and classic british pub fare. We ordered the chicken pot pie and Mac & cheese. Most meals do not come with a side dish – so we ordered a spinach salad to share. The salad was nice, but the mushrooms were a little dated. The chicken pot pie and mac & cheese were served very hot. The server was pretty good, although he was alone and seemed stressed. Overall it was a decent meal.

A disappointing homage to an (apparently supposed to be an) Irish pub, which is what you’d expect from the name and outward decor. Country music, hockey signs and an American sports bar food. All nice just not what we expected. Tables were sticky, unclean, and the server didn’t seem to want to tend to them even after we sat down. Glasses served with our beers were hazy and looked dirty. I wouldn’t make any effort to return here or recommend this spot.

I think we came in right before closing, which I hate and try not to do, but we tried to hurry. They still served us, which was so amazing and kind of them. The food was amazing. Really great place to sit and talk and eat.

Lost my interest after waiting for a waiter / waitress and there was a family sitting before us so I was over it especially for not being very busy. Hope you had a better experience than we did. Sorry we missed yall

I came yesterday to catch the Liverpool v Man U game. There were a few people watching EPL games which was nice, big group of Hammers fans in the back. For the 1130 game I came to watch the bartender told me they would keep the game in the adjacent room to the bar. That room had plenty of TVs, crammed with tables and chairs. I will come back to catch a game here. Food was OK, I ordered the Virginia ham Benedict. Beer selection is what you'd expect at bar.

They no longer serve food here! My girlfriend and I went to grab dinner, looked at the menu online before hand, and when we arrived we were told the kitchen is permanently closed and that they no longer serve food despite indicating online that they do. HOWEVER, the worker was great, he gave us other good food options in the area.
