Spinach Artichoke Dip
Travis T.

The spinach artichoke dip with tortilla chips and pieces of bread were decent although I wish it had more spinach flavor. The bangers & mash (smoked sausages with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut) was good for the most part. The mashed potatoes could've used a bit more salt and the sauerkraut was alright.

Great ambience! Has the typical Irish Pub feel. I was glad to get decent beer such as Harp, Smith wicks, and Guinness . I ordered the Rueben based on past reviews. My rueben was bone dry, the meat was shredded and over cooked. There was no dressing nor cheese. Our server was new so I'll not rate the service. The others in the party were okay with their selections. The next time I visit, I will stick to beer and fries.

In town for a concert and stopped in for happy hour. Sat at the bar. Not the greatest deals for happy hour- just domestic and well drinks. (4-6pm) ordered a black and tan and some appetizers. Bartenders were very friendly. Plenty of seating indoors and an outside patio. Daily drink specials as well.

Rueben Sandwich

Great, as usual, Rueben Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. Fun people here tonight - place full but not over crowded. Service was wonderful.

Best Fish and Chips in Topeka. I was there for fire conference so service and atmosphere was hard to judge.

Fish and chips are over priced. THeIrish stew has tomatoes in it, which is no-traditional. The rubens are good and the appetizers.

I don't usually leave reviews, but my experience at this bar was so bizarre and uncomfortable that…read moreI feel like I owe it to other patrons to share. I came in with a couple of friends on a Wednesday night. It wasn't overly busy, but service was slow from the beginning. We waited nearly 15 minutes before someone even acknowledged us, and when we finally got drinks, two of the three were made incorrectly. No big deal -- we politely asked if they could be remade. The bartender (who we later found out was the owner) acted like we were personally insulting him by mentioning it. He rolled his eyes, muttered something under his breath, and walked away without saying anything. Five minutes later, he came back and slammed the corrected drinks down without a word. We were still trying to brush it off and enjoy the night, but it got worse. At one point, another group came in and was clearly friends with the owner -- suddenly they were getting all the attention, even being allowed to play their own music over the speakers. The vibe of the whole bar changed, and we felt totally pushed out. When I asked if it was possible to put in a song request like they did, the owner told me (verbatim): "This isn't a jukebox, sweetheart. Maybe try Applebee's." We left shortly after. I've never been treated so condescendingly by someone running a business. The owner seemed more interested in showing off for his friends than running a bar. No atmosphere, rude service, and a complete lack of professionalism. If you want to pay premium prices to be ignored and disrespected, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I'd recommend literally any other bar in Lawrence.

Great service, even during a KU men's basketball game. Easy views of TVs. A good size (nice crowd…read morebut still have elbow room) and an all around solid pub vibe.
