Have been here many, many times and always enjoy the food and atmosphere. Today we stopped in for a quick lunch and weren't disappointed! A draft Magner's hard cider was my drink choice and my girls had lemonade and orange soda (to replace the sprite that she didn't care for and which we generously weren't charged for).
Our meals were chicken and vegetable Irish curry which wasn't even in the lunch menu anymore, but they made it for me anyway - they even gave me half rice and half fries upon request. My daughters had the chicken quesadilla and fish and chips which were both awesome but I have to say the fish was so light and crispy, absolutely delicious!
My only disappointment was the lack of the homemade sliced brown bread in the bread basket whose nutty flavor I always loved. Kudos to Robyn our server who was helpful, on top of everything and pleasant.
For a little over $50 it was as great lunch! -

I met a couple friends here after work for happy hour tonight. We sat inside at the bar and then realize that they had an outside patio so we sat outside. We had a very enjoyable time. They had happy hour food which was ziti, chicken Parmesan as well as some fresh fruit. We all decided that we would love to come back maybe for one of their live band nights.

This is a really nice Irish pub. The interior and decor are pretty typical of a proper Irish pub, and it's rather large on the inside.
They have great food here and we've been a few times. On this visit we just got apps.
Sitting on the bar side, you still get table service but you seat yourself (you have to wait to be seated on the restaurant side).
We got the 5 alarm wings and they were spicy but not super hot - I'm not complaining :-)
We also got the truffle fries and Murphy skins. Both were pretty good.
Overall, great service and great food. We'll be back. -

We came by for dinner on a Friday night. It was mostly full but we didn't have to wait, and it wasn't too tightly packed. I got the Playwright burger which was quite good, and I tried some of the mac & cheese which was good as well. We didn't stay for dessert but everything sounded great, definitely a solid pub.

The decor in this pub is straight from what I'd imagine pubs in Ireland actually look like (never been there hope to one day). The service is prompt & friendly. I've been here for catered functions in the back room, that included chicken, pasta, and fish dishes that were all delicious with great service. I've also visited just to eat with family, in the spring & summer there is a small patio off the bar for outdoor seating, the views & sounds are less than stellar as you are at the corner of a busy street. Fish & chips are fantastic, and usually the potato leek soup is great too, this time however my bowl had at least 5 stems in it that were like getting a spoonful of soup with a tiny hard twig in it, perhaps because it was off season for soup, I'm not sure. We also shared the fried mozz app which was very good.
