She's like a yelp ninja that one. She pulls this place up and we plot our course. It's located in the crystal river plaza which looks like an abandoned strip mall . Windows are covered with graphics so you're not 100% sure of what you're walking into but.......open the doors and it's a cool looking Irish pub. This Sunny in Philadelphia type vibes. We sat at the bar and Marissa waited on us. She was a total delight. Lots of fun to chat with. The food was WOW! We had the lobster bisque, ponzu and chili oysters, tuna sushi and a lobster roll. All were stellar, like hands down amazeballs for real. The bread there is LIFE. Soooo good. The bisque was outstanding and the oysters were insane. I wish we lived closer but if we get a place in the water up there we will bug the crap out of Marissa. I don't give out 5 stars often but this place deserves it.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and seated. Our waitress was wonderful. She took our order and checked on us throughout our dinner. We order oysters first and they were as good as we remembered. We had a lobster roll which was yummy and my husband had the burger which he said rivaled his favorite burger place at home. The pub offers both high top tables and regular tables. The walls have Irish themed ads etc. It is located in a strip mall so you need to be looking for it. I definitely recommend this pub and look forward to visiting it again

We got low table that allowed for the sun to peak in and provide some nice warmth! We both had a couple of Florida draft beers, their Cajun boiled peanuts, and a basket of wings and fries. Peanuts were really well seasoned. The fries were average coated French fries. The star of the day was with dry rub wings. Fresh not frozen( no dark bones) and cooked perfectly. The dry rub had a great balance of flavors. Service was awesome! Highly suggest if a waterside setting with beverages and bar style food is in the cards

They are not peeled, which I discovered after the first bite, but very easy to peel. Very nice seasoned with a spicy rub. They are served with two container of butter and two with cocktail sauce. Eating is messy but they have paper towel rolls on all tables! The place is, let's say, interesting. It's an old freezer for the fishermen. The facade on the parking lot side is not inviting. Inside is a different story. A bar where you order your food, seating inside or outside and plenty, really plenty of dollar bills on the walls.

The service was just fair, but do to the amount of tables that were filled, I wasn't surprised.

It was super busy when we went our first time and it was not during happy hour on several occasions we have visited. We live close and visited here a bunch the first 2 years we moved to Ocala and have visited less and less since then. There have been several occasions we have stood at the bar waiting not only to be greeted but also waited very long times to receive our drinks. In their defense, many times the bartenders were busy attending to patrons or making drinks. However, there were several times some bartenders were just talking to friends or messing around. The drinks here are super detailed so they take some time and TLC. I will say, most times our drinks taste delicious and the presentations are magnificent! The decor is so cozy and the ambiance is consistent. Hubs and I absolutely love Tiki themed bars and fell in love with Hawaii after our visit years ago so this place is perfect for us. We also like this place because they are open later than most places in town. We recently visited for a nightcap and it was definitely different. I recently had referred someone here because she was looking for Hawaii themed food (they used to serve food) and she informed me they did not serve food. That sucks because we always meant to try it but never did. Looked good. When we recently visited, they did not have physical menus and were referred to QR code cards on the bar. Our bartender was attentive and helpful with choosing a drink during our recent visit. He actually went out of his way to make the orange peel twist in a perfect manner. I appreciated that! I was going to suggest to hubs we have another drink and then a roach crawled across the bar. I discreetly informed the bartender of the dead roach I killed when we closed out and he took it away. Usually this place is clean and tidy so I was surprised to witness the roach. They do have seating outside as well but we usually sit inside to listen to the themed music.
