Good food, good service, but a lot of the beer menu was unavailable. Our server told us they were selling so a lot of the beers would no longer be carried.

I hate leaving negative reviews but I wanted to help other families avoid this spot.I can't imagine how this place got four stars on Google.I should have realized when the restaurant was empty on a Sunday at noon.Think cheap frozen food deep fried till overcooked -Everything was dry,for the items we were served at our price fixed luncheon -The over-breaded freezer burned calamari was awful-no one finished their portion.The chicken strips were burned till partially black.The veggie-wrap contained gritty lettuce-and was discarded.The Penne vodka was watery with no flavor.The pretzels nuggets and french fries were good.The waiters were attentive,the room was clean and the air conditioned room was comfortable.there was plenty of parking.The bathroom floor was sticky-The toilet paper dispenser was attached to the wall with duct tape.

My sister and I had our parent's 50th Anniversary party here and it was above and beyond our expectations! The room where the party was had plenty of room for our approximately 50 guests. The staff was extremely accomodating to our requests for assistance with hanging up a big banner and allowing us the freedom to basically decorate as we chose.Everyone loved the food! My parents are extremely picky and selective when it comes to the quality of food and both of them absolutely enjoyed it. We had mixed salad, penne w/vodka, chicken francaise, and fish and chips. They allow you to bring home any food leftover...but we didn't have to since it was pretty much all gone! We were also allowed to bring our own cake which they sliced and brought back out for us. The party was on a Sunday afternoon, and I had no idea that there would also be live music. The live music was perfect for the occasion and the general demographic of the party as well! We even started dancing in the extra space we had in the party room.Overall, from reserving the place, to working with management on the meal, to the service at the party itself, everything was absolutely top notch. If you want to have a party for about 50 people, I would highly recommend this place!

The bartenders are excellent, especially Maria. The food leaves a lot to be desired. We go for the cocktails and entertainment, and eat elsewhere. Burgers seldom cooked the way they’re ordered and pizza comes out with a soft crust even after the server stressed well done crust. Staff is great, good not so great.

Everything was great. Cold draft beer, sliders for dinner from the football season special menu. Value pricing with plus accommodation and service. Live band was an unexpected added bonus earlier in the evening.

I wish I had great reviews, maybe we came in late and the kitchen was on the way of closing. Food was not good and the service took awhile. Again it could have been because we came in late for salads and

Servers were too busy talking to each other while vaping inside to attend to tables. Atmosphere didn't feel the least bit like an Irish pub. Sure, there are football (soccer) banners all over, but that was it. Menu leaned in the right direction and the corned beef egg rolls were great, but the 4 entrees we ordered were lacking. Things might be better at the bar, but we don't have any inclination to come back.

Went here for a baby shower and had a wonderful experience. Not only was the food great, but the staff was incredibly attentive and fast. I would love to go there and sit down for dinner anytime.Kid-friendliness: They accommodated all the kids at the baby shower with their own plate of chicken nuggets and fries. It was really a great idea to keep the kids happy.

Very accommodating - all staff. Braised short ribs were excellent as was the French onion soup. Open faced Reuben was plenty, but a bit dry. Bread pudding was excellent. Worth going.

Portions for the appetizers were terrible. We got 10 pretzel nuggets for $9. Then we had boneless wings. We got 9 boneless wings for $13. They were saturated in garlic and Parmesan which was so oily. Wouldn’t recommend

Waited over 10 minutes for a server to greet us when first seated. Had to get the hostess attention to let her know we had still not seen a server at the 15 minute mark. Pizza tasted and looked like a frozen pie. The gaelic chicken tasted awful and again, frozen. Pub pretzels were tough and chewy. Not happy with this experience and will not be coming here again.

Didn't know what else to do so my friend and I went here and had a good time. Great food to go with live music. The cheesecake is great I definitely recommend getting some. The host and waitress were both extremely nice as well. I'll be visiting again soon.

I placed an Order at 11am for takeout at 5 pm because it is St. Patrick's day. I paid by credit card. When I arrived, they said they were backed up and they hadn't prepared the meals. The place was mobbed. They could not find a manager. The manager claimed that I hadn't paid, but eventually found the slip. Another person told me that the printer broke. They were serving corned beef all around me. In the end, I got a refund. But, no food and my family and mother were very disappointed. This is not a place I would recommend to anyone.

Because this a local and family owned business I've refrained from leaving a bad review in the past. But, as a restaurant owner and chef who works hard to keep my byo restaurant in high demand, I'm finally learning how important reviews are to hold ownership accountable. The food here is practically unbearable. Quite often they are out of stock on many items and they ones they have are frozen and prepared items that reek from freezer burn. The staff here is the only thing that one cannot complain about since they are always friendly, professional and very polite. If you want liquor, it's here, but the kitchen is in terrible need of a real cook. Who forgets to put dressing on an open face Ruben?! Really? With 15 people at the bar at 2pm on a Tuesday?!? Call yourself an Irish pub?
