Looks like a huge traditional Irish pub, but has way more beers to choose from. I've heard it can be pretty busy on weekends, but we visited mid-week and were able to get a table and it wasn't too noisy. The beer was great- I had a beer and cheese sampling platter which matched beers with cheeses. I want this... More

A large group of us went for supper later in the evening and had trouble finding seats. The staff were very kind and helped us out. The pub itself is amazing, walls lined with beer and floor upon floor of thirsty people, listening to live music. We all enjoyed our meals and were happy to see vegetarian and gluten free... More
