This quiet pub was the destination for few friends and me on a Friday evening. We got to sit at the bar and order a beer and have a good conversation. The aesthetic reminded me a lot of Dublin pubs.

Very fun and personable bartenders. Wish they had low carb beer or Chivas, but otherwise was a great place. Music wasn't too loud and it was comfortable for charting as a group. My kind of place.

Wow… I’ve never felt so confused by the service…. I suggested this bar because it was the only place that was open after 10 pm after an our big gallery opening event that we hosted in the neighborhood.We initially sat upstairs, but were asked to move downstairs after paying. The bartender's unfriendly expressions bothered me, but one bartender checked on us, giving me hope.However, when we accidentally knocked over an empty glass while moving a table, one bartender expressed irritation and a manager looking guy immediately asked us to leave, which was shocking. I attempted to discuss the incident with both the bartender and what seemed to be the manager, but the manager refused to engage and kept emphasizing the presence of security cameras. Despite the footage showing our harmless accident, he threatened to involve the police.As a local business owner myself, I wanted to support them, but their treatment has made me decide never to return or recommend it to others.Additionally, I felt ganged up on by a bartender and a customer who judged us without understanding the situation. It's disheartening because we simply wanted to enjoy our time there. The person who dropped the glass and I only had a beer there so we were definitely not drunk….The service upstairs was great….. so it’s just a shame they can ruin the experience like this.

While I didn’t eat here, the food looked solid. Having said that the place is perfect. Atmosphere is authentic and original….service matched ambiance. The urinals should be the standard, unfortunately in many cases design and materials have gotten worse over time. Booths are perfect too…
