    Great neighborhood pub/bar. Outside patio seating that is dog friendly. TouchTunes inside so you can select your own music. Full bar. Chill ambiance.

    Great bartenders, great back patio, tv's outside and in, pool table, darts, golden tee, a lot of bourbon and whiskey, awesome jukebox, seating for big groups, fun place to party and the best Guinness on draught. Traditional Irish pub.

    Great classic pub

    Atmosphere was cool. Not many people in there but that's how I like it. Service was very friendly. We don't order any food.

    This is a cozy bar with comfy seating. It was pretty empty on a Thursday night and the staff friendly. They have board games and good music.

    Really good music and the bartenders were really nice. I had a rum and coke and it was good. Had fun just relaxing with a group of friends.

    To top it all off, the jukebox is awesome, and when the jukebox isnt playing, the bartenders place great music from their I-pods.

    Visited here midweek after going to a Yelp event at the nearby Regal. I'd seen this spot a few…read moretimes when dining with colleagues nearby and assured myself I'd check it out as soon as I could. I'm glad I did! When walking in it wasn't crowded but there were a fair amount of guests for a near 10 pm crowd on a Wednesday. I went and sat at the bar to which I was immediately greeted and provided menus. Food & Drink - 5* I immediately ordered some wings and fried pickles and peppers. Then I debated between the Irish Stew or the Shepherd's Pie. When I inquired, both are great but advised I should go with the Shepherd's Pie. Off to races we go. Fried pickles and peppers, delicious, the batter isn't over the top yet doesn't fall off terribly. The cilantro jalapeño sauce is a fantastic pairing. The wings -- great, nice crisp, flavor was not necessarily what I expected, I couldn't place it at the time it they were good. Now, the shepherd's pie, wow, this dish was addicting. I'd come back over and over for this while sabotaging in semblance of a balanced diet. Just makes me know that the Irish stew is likely equally fantastic. The drinks, well, I can't speak to cocktails but the Guinness was delicious, cold, with nice collar/head. Can't go wrong with that! Service - 5* Everything one would want. Friend, fast, and attentive. Water was always full and was asked if needed anything multiple times. The only thing I didn't get proactively was napkins, but when I asked, I was provided some quickly. Cost - 4.5* Overall, I think, subjectively speaking, everything here is pretty well priced. The shepherd's pie may be a tad overpriced but it's worth it in how delicious it is. Overall - 5* This was a pleasant surprise to visit and I will certainly come back. Subjectively the location is good and bad. Being next to the improv and movie theater I'm sure helps attract many patrons for these businesses. At the same time, this joint, with a loyal following, would sustain business and "feel" better as a free standing establishment in a more neighborhood type environment. Nevertheless, great place, would recommend people stop in even if they aren't visiting the stalwart attractions in the area.

    Service here was impeccable. Very attentive but not over-whelming. Will definitely come back on a…read moregame day
