Zehra took excellent care of us and was super fast with everything. She also had a great personality. 😊 The food was really good and I have been to Ireland so I would say they did a great job. I had the potato leek soup and shrimp platter. Shepherd’s pie mac n cheese and fish & chips were also amazing according to my friends. This place is definitely one I will return to when we come back for the sailboat show. The chocolate mousse for dessert was also very decadent and rich. I recommend it. 🤤

Nice pub I stopped at while exploring Annapolis. Tucked into the street and almost walked by it, but there is more room on the inside than you would originally think. Service was good and I had a drink before going back on my way. Would come back for food some time!

Absolutely loved this bar. Charming Irish style pub in Annapolis. My only gripe would be that they didn't have Natty boh, but I won't hold it against them too much. They did have Zadie's which was an adequate substitute. Would love to check this spot out again, and get some food and a Guinness.

Amazing Irish food and attentive friendly service by Amanda. Paying with credit card should not be charged with service fee. Otherwise it would be an excellent dining.

A little piece of Ireland right here! Having visited several pubs in Galway, I can honestly say this one captures the true Irish spirit perfectly. The ambiance is spot-on, warm, dimmed lighting, Irish background music, and that familiar cozy decoration that makes you feel instantly at home. The Guinness was excellent, just as smooth and rich as in Ireland, which is saying a lot! The food was a lovely surprise too, with even more variety on the menu than many places I tried in Galway. I had the cod, which was tender and perfectly cooked. The portion was a bit smaller than what I’ve had in Ireland, but the flavor was absolutely authentic that same delicious, crispy coating that makes fish and chips such a classic. Overall, it’s a truly great pub and a very worthwhile experience. For a mome
