At your price, one's enough. AND the bartender guy was sure a dipshit. I asked how much the tap beer was, he didn't even know. Had to type it into the POS. Then, he hands me my beer by grabbing it with his dirty fingers from the rim of the glass, where you drink from. THE RIM OF THE GLASS IS NOT THE FN HANDLE! GROSS! Why don't bar owners TRAIN their employees? If that's how the barkeep is trained, I wouldn't want to trust the cooks with my food either.

Beer is fresh and ice cold, large variety of liquors for great mixed drinks, popular seltzers, craveable shots, and you can't beat their prices; best in town! Fun entertainment including pool table, dart boards, 6 pull tab boxes, ETab machines, TouchTunes jukebox (also app friendly), and Friday meat raffles beginning @ 5:30pm (fall though spring). Staff is the best, friendly and attentive! They serve Heggies, Picasso, and FireHouse pizzas that are super good! They also have cheese bread and lots of bar snacks. Off sale beer and liquor. Multiple large TVs/sports games. Nightlife there on weekends are packed and a great place to meet up w/friends, or meet new ones! Definitely a bar crawl must; highly recommend!

It was the first one of the night, I withdrew my tip, skip my song, I take my dollar back. Everyone who has bartenders like this should do this when they skip a song that they put In with THEIR money! This place is turning into another 1319, minus the expensive food and no bottled beer. They never skip horrible Morgan Wallen songs, most generic boring hick hop ever! Don't even get me started on how tired out the Nitty Shitty Dirt Band is! No Metallica, but they will let a song by noted Hitler lover Kanye play out through the whole duration. Time will only tell before they let Jason Aldean's pro-lynching song play through it's entirety and then skip a hard rock song because the bartender doesn't "like it."

It was quiet the day we went for lunch because there were a few events happening in town at that time but it looks like they have a lot of fun events. Bathrooms were also nice and clean.

We walked on the patio to sit and wait for 1 of our friends to come out of there and meet us. The owner came up and started yelling at my son and I that we were a discrase he would be so fing embarrassed if he were us we have alot of nerve walking to his bar with drinks and was yelling infront of everyone on the patio at us. EXTREMELY RUDE. I then told him I apologize we bought our drinks from B and L he then yelled we'll why didn't you say that in the first place....um sorry you started YELLING at us infront of 50 some people and didn't give us a chance to SAY ANYTHING. I will continue going to Rick at B and L were my family and I are treated with respect and not downgraded infront of 50 some strangers. And to top it all off his friends sitting out on the patio continued to yell and call us liers he walked into his bar and didn't day anything to his friends just let them keep talking S**t . Wish I could rate this bar 0 stars. I don't care if your having a bad day NO ONE deserves to be treated the way we were. I am a total beliver of supporting local businesses but not this place after the experience my family and I had.

We went in because a man just leaving said they were having a pot luck meal for Thanksgiving and anyone could eat. Since we found no other bars or restaurants open and I kid you not, nothing open, we would take a chance. When we walked in it was eyes right by the patrons. Nobody said a word. We ordered a drink and DJ and I talked amongst ourselves. We were hungry and decided to help ourselves to the food at the back of the room. If we waited for an invitation, it would have not come. The bartender must have been in her 80's and simply took care of business. We would go again knowing this place is for locals. I would by no means call it a dive. It is just a clean simply bar with basic drinks and no food.

It felt like a special spot, and the booth seemed to quiet the dining room noise a bit. My companions had worried they weren't dressed up enough, but the atmosphere was comfortable and they were perfectly fine. Our server was great--friendly, fun, and attentive. She asked what brought us in and liked hearing about my restaurant project. I let her choose my second mocktail, and she picked the Cranberry Ginger Bubbler. I enjoyed both that and my Blueberry Lavender Lemon Drop. They were pretty drinks, and the Lemon Drop came in the cutest little glass. My companions tried the Pumpkin Spice White Russian and the Dragon Burst and enjoyed their drinks, too. We started with the Calamari Fritti, which got mixed reactions at our table. One person liked it and enjoyed one of the sauces; another thought the breading needed something more. They both tried the vegetables served with it, too. I also had the French Onion Soup. It was nice and cheesy, and the broth had a good flavor, though I would've liked it a little bolder. It wasn't my favorite French onion soup, but I enjoyed it. My companions both ordered Chicken Alfredo and liked it. One finished his entire plate, which is a sure sign he enjoyed it, and said he especially likes Parmesan-based sauces. I finally tried a Tomahawk Steak. It was tender and tasted good, and the long bone looked cool on the serving board. I just wish they had brought it out whole before cutting it. A lot of the pieces were fatty, and I finished the steak myself without any trouble even though it was described as one to share. The Mac and Cheese side was okay, but I thought it could use a little more seasoning. Next time I'd probably order a different cut of steak. I had hoped to try the Baked Alaska, but they were out, so we shared Chocolate Cake instead. The slice was huge--I could see it coming from across the room! It was rich and good, though a little dry. I'd go back, although it's a drive for us, and I'd try another steak or something else on the menu.

We stopped by on a Saturday as we were looking for a good family lunch spot and the other Yelp…read morereviews were good. The whole experience seemed flustered. The host originally seated us in a space that did not fit our party. Then he moved us to a center spot in a long, family-style table with people on either side of us. We had a five year old with us who was overly tired and very spunky and we had to try to keep her focused on us and not our neighboring patrons. Was really not the most appropriate seating for children but we didn't want to ask for yet another table. Soon after we sat down, we discovered that the parties on both sides of us were upset and looking for any employee so they could express their frustration. Seeing as we were all so close, we could hear them complain to others in their parties about the service. We learned shortly that we should have written up our losses early and moved on. We didn't. We ordered our beverages and immediately got water. The rest (2 soft drinks, an iced tea, and a milk) slowly trickled out one by one. The waiter apologized every single time he came to the table about how slow everything was from us being seated to getting our drinks to him coming to take our order. Once the food came out, he was apologizing again for how long that took. He wasn't wrong. As for the food, it was fine. Portions were average to smallish for the price. It wasn't as special as we had hoped it would be based on the descriptions. We each got something different and all said that we wouldn't order that item again. Not that it was bad. It just wasn't good. The best thing we had was the pretzel stick appetizer. That was pretty good but for the price, we wouldn't order it again. Nothing was super memorable except the decor which was super fun to look at. Oh and the very apologetic waiter. Our food came out hot. Turns out that was not true for the table to our left. The table to our right got the wrong food so half their group was done while the others were just starting. Apparently one of the cooks had called in. So, over all, I gave them an optimistic 3 stars. It was like a participation award with the assumption that if they were firing on all cylinders, it could have been much better. Personally, i wouldn't try them again but as the only Irish pub in the area, it could be a neat happy hour hang out. It just was not a family lunch spot.
