In the warmer months the outside bar is a great place to enjoy a drink or two. They have entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays with no cover. Their food has always been very tasty and reasonably priced. Changes in the chef and changes in the menu that left off some our favorites items has kept us away. We heard that some menu items returned so we gave it a look see. I am happy to announce that my favorite item of fried chicken has returned and is excellent. While food prices have changed due to the economy climate I think they are reasonable.

It was ridiculous why the music needs to be blasting so nobody can have a conversation. I was with three other people and I know I only heard maybe half the conversation of the nite! The good news was I was able to walk up to the bar and get fast service even though the bar was full. Now for another downer: being an Irish establishment, I ordered a corned-beef sandwich that was terrible! The beef wasn't sliced but rather ground up and was loaded with salt to almost be inedible! Anybody with high-blood pressure that shouldn't have salt shouldn't order this! I was told that they have really good hamburgers which I should have listened to that advice. I didn't see pizza on the menu which is just as well, seeing Beggar's is across the street and is the bomb for pizza where they couldn't possibly have better pizza than Beggar's! From now on if we go there it will only be on a weeknight and hopefully the music volume will be conversational. A good thing is that they have Yuengling Beer on tap that was just introduced to the Midwest!

While everybody was nice, you could tell the place was full of regulars. I even played a few games of bingo. I would recommend coming here for a few beers or to watch a football game, but not for dinner. If you want dinner go to Applebees or one of the many restaurants in the area. It's a warm place with good vibes, just not the best food. We tried the nachos with chicken and the chicken was old hard leftover chicken. The jalapeños were huge and raw with seeds, not pickled. Nothing wrong with that but I can't handle that kind of spice. The gaming area looks really nice but I didn't actually play any of the machines. I probably won't visit again but I did appreciate how nice everybody was.

For a dive bar it's okay but even so it's got crap. It's not as bad as it actually looks. They're cash only which is funny in these kinds of times.
