amazing irish dance i screamed and cried the whole time it was the best night of my life. “this place is kind of fire” -my roommate theodore gretz. i didn’t order the wings but my roommates did and i ate the celery with the sauce and it was really very yummy i also got a half guiness half cider which is very cool but i won’t be ordering again. the cocktail i wanted was $14 so. beggars can’t be choosers. feeling like i’m in it’s always sunny. i also really like the table plant. go here it’s great!

Wood burning fireplace, wonderful food and the wait staff were the best. A definite go to when you're near the convention center and reading market.

We went last night in search of live music. It was very crowded which we expected (St.Patrick's Day). The band was awesome, the servers were amazing and the food was great. I was really impressed by the staff. Overall, a wonderful experience. We will be back.

Great Irish pub in Old Town, with good pints, whiskeys. The beer battered fish n chips was awesome with a huge piece of flaky haddock.

I visited the Plough several years ago for a quick pint and forgot about it. I will turn several weeks ago almost by accident when looking for an Irish food restaurant and most pleasantly surprised. The menu was reasonably broad, the serving size was larger than I might expect, and the price was reasonable. It has a very public house atmosphere, which I'm okay with, but the floor plan is awkward and some of the high top tables are a little too close to access steps and passengers to make the seating feel inviting and comfortable.
