Not a bad place to eat but took alittle long for service considering there wasn't many people there. Drinks are alittle pricey but the food was good.

Management failed to protect both their customers and their staff by declining do anything about an extremely loud group of bagpipe players. My ears are still ringing.

Nice little pub. Prices were reasonable, food was delicious, and portions were generous. Wife said her drink was good and strong. A bar and a nice number of pool tables, if that's your kind of thing.Definitely plan to return.

My husband and I, along with my son and his wife, visited here on a Saturday afternoon. The food was excellent! We sampled crab cakes, chicken and rigatoni, steak and a cuban sandwich. Everything was wonderful. Service was great. Like many places in Virginia Beach, this place is noisy with both music and TV going.

Mac and cheese was literally refrigerator cold.Sat at the bar and the tender had the nerve to say the seats were reserved for his buddies coming for trivia night even though I ordered food and drinks. Rushed us off. They refunded the frozen Mac and cheese.Pray they don't treat non regulars like this ever again.

Our pretzel was served to us cold. My dad never got his meal. Our service was not great, but he was very nice. Nice atmosphere, just wish it had a better menu. This place has potential!

1st time trying them out and they had only 3 out of 7 entrees. Waitress was the best and most patient!!! Food quality not the best.

Apparently they stop serving food 4 hours before close on a Friday night. Took the server 25 minutes to come to our table, take food orders, then come back and tell us that. This is the second time I’ve come here and they’ve been grossly understaffed, so I guess I won’t be back.Parking: Parking sucks. Had to park 1/4 mile away.
