The menu is somewhat…read moremore creative and interesting than you might expect, but they are ultimately specializing in bar food. That's not intended as a dig, it's just what they're serving. We showed up for a Saturday lunch ahead of a snow storm, and the overall experience was good. The staff were friendly. There were clearly some number of regulars around. The space is a bit old and drafty, but that just adds a level of character. In terms of the food, we ordered a few salads and a half reuben (part of the lunch special), plus an Italian flatbread. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was nicely prepared and presented. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. The flatbread was good but not particularly noteworthy. My partner liked the rueben, but thought it could use a little more sauerkraut. The Guinness was fresh and nicely poured. All told, this was a good experience. Understand that this is more of a neighborhood hang than a destination, but it excels at filling that role.

I made an exception recently and tried the pretzel sticks. They were kind of greasy, a detail I was willing to overlook because I was hungry and they tasted good. The beer selection is standard craft beer and domestics--I would love to see them stock more high abv beers in the cooler like they used to. Now it's mostly seltzers and IPAs.

We went through the entire pub and were able to just squeeze in at the bar near the front. This is an authentic Irish pub - cozy, woody with old Irish decor. We will definitely stop in again another time when it is not so busy. Despite the crowd, the bartenders were quick with drinks and kept the crowd happy. There is a popcorn machine where you could grab a free bag of popcorn, which is nice and you just don't see anymore.

Unfortunately the food was meh too. And the beer was lacking too. 12 lukrs tho amazing, but there were only about 5 beers on draft, which I found odd. -Burger was best thing but overcooked, asked for med rare, came out med-well -Chicken wrap was bland -Trout dip tasted pre-packaged, and bread was super stale -Seitan flavor was very good but cooked meh, it was way too chewy in the middle -Pretzel was meh Sigh, considering this place hosts Zwanze Day, I was a little disappointed with the place. The live music outside was pretty good, but not sure i'd be running back here.

They had a heated rooftop and DJ at the bottom. There were two bartenders working when I went. At the front, they had a wheel you could spin for $8 for a randomized drink. They also do trivia on Tuesday I believe. I got the curry poutine fries, which I've gotten from another restaurant before and they were amazing. I think this place puts a lot of sauce and cheese on but I think it would taste better if it had the curry on the bottom and had crispy fries to delay the time they get soggy. It was topped with green onions which was nice and a good fresh flavor addition. It's a huge platter of fries for $16 though - great to share for a group. I think their wing deal is worth trying - 10 wings for $15 and a MYRIAD of flavors to pick from.
