I immediately noticed a food pantry box for donations in the lobby as well as a Lions club eye glass recycling box and I felt right at home, thinking this restaurant is committed to community out reach. Our meals came out fast, our waitress Angie was a power house and chatter quieted down offering a sign that everyone's food was hitting the spot. I personally loved my well done flatbread pizza as i am a crunch -a-holic and they honored my request. As we were leaving I found that they have a regular visually impaired visitor and then it all made sense. Nicole and Angie your hearts make this home town eatery and bar a very welcoming place. We will be back D Westgate- Adult Program Coordinator Lowell Association for the Blind.

On our last visit, the chef (I use the term chef lightly here, maybe "cook" is a better choice of words). decided it would be okay to serve paying customers lousy burgers, which were overcooked, and put onto buns that were basically burned BLACK. Seriously, BLACK buns. Too busy BS'ing with his buddies to actually do his job. What a joke. Not sure where he is going next, but when I find out I'll steer clear of that place. I don't hold the Worthen responsible for that lousy meal, it was totally on the chef. He should be ashamed of serving people something like he did.

Our waitress was very friendly and accounted for our need to leave in time to get our tickets and still have a relaxing dinner. We arrived at 5:45 and were able to leave about an hour later, in part because we chose menu items that were slightly easier to prepare. We had the Mushroom Swiss Burger, the Double Smash Burger, the Volcano Burger, and Bangers and Mash. All four dishes were great, and the chef followed the doneness orders to perfection. We all chose to drink a glass of Josh Cabernet (offered at $11/glass, not available by the bottle). Given the price of the glass, and the relatively low price of Josh, I was a bit disappointed in the size of the pour, which seemed minimal. However, the wine was good. Each burger was well described on the menu: the mushrooms were crispy and generous, the onion rings on the volcano were ample and delicious, the smash burger came with cole slaw at the diner's request, and the bangers and mash were very good. This is a traditional Irish Pub, and there was a lot that we did not choose (but will in another visit). The bar is quite noisy, and we were somewhat protected by some privacy barriers. On the whole, a great experience and enjoyable.

The hottest chicks in Lowell go here. Just bring earplugs because you WILL get earaped. I would…read moresuggest bringing ear plugs to any place that has music though because a lot of DJs become deaf to certain frequencies so while the music overall may not be dangerously loud the treble might be uncomfortably loud compared to everything else for example. I've never had the food but it looks and smells delicious and some nights the pool is free. if you're looking for a roomy, open concept bar to chill at, this is a great place, and PLEASE don't be afraid to mention them to turn down the music because even though everyone else is scared to speak up they will definitely be thankful. And don't be one of those people who thinks that Not blowing out your eardrums from loud music is uncool because guess what, being deaf is probably one of the uncoolest things you could do if you where blessed with the gift of hearing and then ended up losing it from being careless.

Everything in the place was clean. They give you complimentary popcorn which was very addictive and even gave me more when they saw mine was empty. And yes I did eat it all because it was just that buttery good lol. Plenty of free parking in the lot that they have adjacent and in front of the establishment decor is very nice service had no issues and if I was in the area I'd definitely give this place a try
