★★★★★ 5.0 Elizabeth Dotson · Mar 2026

I’m so happy this place is finally open! The bar area is huge and perfect for my group and the vibe. We got drinks and apps and while they’ve only been open 2 days are are working out the kinks we had the best time. Highly recommend the Ruben egg rolls. I am excited for Wheeling to have this spot!

Second time was just as excellent as the first. Our server, Melissa, was friendly and very attentive. Beers served in frozen mugs, YUM! I had the Bang Bang Chicken and it was delicious. I would highly recommend this dish. I love the atmosphere, welcoming and comfortable. So glad to have them in Wheeling. Great addition to our community 😊

Was here for the grand opening, which was great, so had to come back 2 days later to try the burger 🍔 and started off with the brisket chilli - delicious! served with cheese, scallions, and sour cream 🤩 with crackers on the side 👍 burger came done perfectly medium rare 🥰 and was excellent. Highly recommend!! Also - Met the owner, Mark, who was very friendly and asked for feedback on the experience, service and food. He shared that the current menu is only a limited selection, but they wanted to start small and get it right before expanding to more extensive offerings. Smart move for a new business - allowing the staff to get used to the facility, menu, and co-workers helps insure a better experience for customers.

Went to the opening night and had a wonderful time!! 😁 The flavored long island drinks were yummy - tried the blueberry and raspberry - and super cheap during Happy Hour!! 🥳 Bonus! 😉 Tried the ribs Sharable item and it was great 👍 tender and flavorful ribs, plenty of lightly breaded onion strings, and the little side of coleslaw was excellent 😋 the cilantro made it! 😍 Our server Anna was good, friendly and attentive 🤩 Also met the owner Mark, as he was trying to go around to every table, which was nice, very personable, and gave us a walk through of the whole place 🤯 Also, we got the opportunity to tell him in person how much we were enjoying ourselves 🥰 and have done so at several of his other restaurants, Moretti's, Famous Freddie's, and Sweet Caroline 💗 Definitely worth checking them ou

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ryan Loughrey · Mar 2026

In the words of my wife, nothing special. The food was fine and came out in a timely manner. Service was a bit slow overall, but staff was friendly enough, this may just be new hires. The atmosphere was the dissapounting part. We went hoping to find what's on the label, an Irish pub. What we found could be better described as an Irish branded Applebee's. The music was predominantly american rock, and the TV's on every wall took down the atmosphere in general with how closely spaced they were. The menu lacks typical pub type food or any major semblance of the Irish heritage the place claimed. I personally would say Irish need not apply, my wife said the most Irish thing was probably the drink menu. Not a bad place, but a bit expensive for being just another sports bar in my opinion.
