After a busy day at derpycon our group wanted a good meal and across the street was this nice looking Irish pub, being a British expat patriot I know how good Irish food and drink can be and we wasn 't disappointed. Our entire group ordered the fish andchips, and honestly? It was very good, even by my own strict fish and chips upbringing, the 'chips '..okay French fries weregood, and better than most places and the fish? Delectable, steamy and soft fish that melted in the mouth. What surprised methe most was the homemade tartar sauce, now I personally hate this sauce but what this restaurant did was different, theycreated their own version which was actually very good with hints of garlic, n...

First visit here. Doing a review for another Foodie group.Nice pub feel, different levels/seating areas. Took my daughter so I could try more food. Lol. Started with Irish onion soup. Very flavorful, good mix of cheeses and good crusty bread. Then Irish nachos. A star among appetizers, wonderfully addictive. Great blend of flavors. Entrees were Shepherd's pie and Bangers and mash. Both were extremely good. And then dessert was a highlight! Wow, an Irish cream bread budding that was divine! All the food was very well plated and presented. Service was good. Looking forward to going back soon.
This place has a beautiful atmosphere outside. My hubby and I were looking for a place to drink and chill and boy was this the spot! The best drink by far was the summer of 75 and the lambsliders were absolutely amazing. We also ordered the cod tacos and other apps which were all good (except the pork belly sliders, which we do not recommend). Savannah was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing. She checked in on us as often as she could and was so personable. We will definitely come back and chill. My only hope was for the management team to start a happy hour menu.
I was extremely disappointed with the food. I was served a grilled reuben sandwich without rye bread or dressing. In addition, the bottom of the receipt stated a 15% discount applied to this bill. However, the aforementioned state was false and the tip was automatically applied without being notified by the staff. I will never return to this establishment. Book a table now
The appetizers were really good. Beer and sandwiches were okay. Expects a better service than water was served only upon request. The bread pudding tasted good, but an ice cream with it would have been better than whipped cream. The disadvantage is that everything is very affordable here.
The appetizers were really good. Beer and sandwiches were okay. Expected a better service as water was served only after request. The bread pudding tasted good but a ice-cream with it would have been better than whipped cream. The upside iseverything is very affordable here.
Stopped by after an RU Football game, perfect ending to a good win. We sat in the outdoor area on a beautiful day and Phil is the man, great service! Good variety of beer on tap and the food was on point. What else can you ask for? We'll be back, kudos.
I can only comment on the weekday lunch experience but the chicken Caesar salad was very good and all the tap beer tasted like they cleaned the taps properly. Very chill, bartender sang along to barenaked ladies. Solid place to kill time near the Hyatt. Book a table now
Loved this spot! Phil the Bartender gets my vote for the coolest guy I met while in NJ. The vibe? You could tell everyone knows each other and the love is strong. Try the Shepherds Pie! Oh my freaking goodness!
