    Attended the ReppaTon presents ReBirth show as support for my nephew and a friend of mine who were also performing. And providing my Photography skills!!! Been in awhile since I was in a club / show atmosphere, but it was good vibes and talented people. Did not partake in any of the food or drink but I'm confident it's all good.

    It's not much, but MAN will they take care of you! We rolled up here with a group of 10 after dipping on our reservation at speakeasy down the street for terrible service, and we spent a good 4 hours here tossing back Guinesses and chowing down on wings. If you want a solid Irish pub with great service, this is the place to be!

    It was like having a little nook all to ourselves ! Great food, great service, awesome ambiance…read more All cushioned seats and so cozy. Everything on the menu was a 5, okay I make my own gravy and it wasn't that (but it was good, and a little salty but very good with the bangers and mash. ) Bangers & mash very good! Burger very good! Jalapeño poppers awesome. The curry fries with chicken tenders and onions will blow your mind with flavor. Wow on the reubin and the turkey avocado sandwiches. Had a waitress that laughed. Had a great time.

    Initially intended to grab brunch across the street but wandered over here instead…read more Overall, the vibe is very on brand. Liverpool was playing and I imagine it's a great space to watch this if that's your speed. Sunday lunch menu had a good mixture of things. I was drawn into the special, which was a pork belly quiche with Irish cheese and green onions. This was ultimately quite fine. Big quiche fan but this wasn't my favorite crust nor my favorite cheese. And if I hadn't been told there was meat in it I'm not sure I would have noticed. The side salad had a nice balsamic dressing. What was most bothersome, though, was the size of the quiche. It was cheap enough but not really a lunch potion. Wish I had gone with a sanwich. Drinks were good-pretty standard. The service was astounding and everyone was so nice. Probably wouldn't come back for the food but if you want to watch some football (soccer) it's a nice option.

    Moved down last May and have been here a few times now. I try to give businesses my business as I'm…read morenew to the area. Love the vibe. Irish and Steelers are the way to go. My son and nephew loved the boneless wings and my gf liked her chicken Ceasar wrap. I had asked for a burger with bacon and cheese. Unfortunately, I'll never order that again. I didn't even get half way through. The taste was awful. Now, we did come in at 9:50 on a Saturday night and the kitchen closes at 10:30, but to serve up a burger so God awful is beyond me. No worries. Paid the $68 dollar tab and left $20 cash for our waitress who was fine. I'll be back, but will stay away from the grizzled flavored burgers for sure. It is a neighborhood spot, but that's fine, we live in the neighborhood. lol. I just won't go for food that late anymore, but we were starving.

Non of those foods had any taste. Steak was 2 out of 10 no taste, onion ring was onion speared from crust sauce they bring was so extremely salty. Mac and cheese cheese was smooshed. My not kitchen knowledge son does better job. No ketchup was in ketchup container. Waiter was sweeping floors instead of refilling our water. Experience 1-2 out of 10. They lost my business. My stomach wasn't right after I ate too but forgot to call store if anyone get sick. My sons food was steak but different sides. He got uneasy with his stomach too. Why they do this for us? No customer service no good food no experience, no excuse. How they plan to survive with a lot of other choices around them?
