We got in and snagged a table in the perfect location. We started off with food. The fish and chips were amazing. The fish wasn't too breaded or oily. The piece of fish was huge! The fresh green onions and homemade tater sauce elevated the dish. We stayed at the pub until Irish music started, which was so good! Hearing the tin whistle, guitar, and beautiful Irish singing was such a treat. We enjoyed a handful of cocktails and Guinness! Very enjoyable night!

From the moment you walk in the doors, you have to walk up steps and are greeted right at the bar. The atmosphere is cozy and the waiters are all pretty fun with the typical Irish sarcasm we have learned to smile at and join in with. The food was just okay. We had the burger and the lasagne. It was nothing epic, was edible, but nothing wowed us. I would have loved to try the Kytler's whisky and beers, but they were interestingly not offered so we stuck with the Guiness.

The meat is top quality and the burger was cooked perfectly with a very nice char-broiled flavor. I've noticed in Ireland that many places overcook their hamburgers, this place does it right. The bun was fresh and toasted just right. After tasting my son's burger, I regretted not getting one. They have a choice of three different French fries- thick cut, skinny and curly. These were also the best fries in Ireland. Most restaurants here serve only thick cut and they are usually soft and slightly undercooked. The Moose had very crispy fries obviously cooked in fresh oil. I had the falafel sandwich (I needed a break from meat for at least a day!) And it was very good. Service was excellent. The staff goofed our order and very graciously comped us a drink. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for a delicious burger. One last word. This place plays loud and monotonous rock and roll and punk. Some of it is good , most is terrible. Hard to have a conversation without talking loud. They need to play better music and turn it down.
