★★★★★ 5.0 Thomas Kopaczynski · Jan 2026

Holy cow great brunch experience. The iced espresso a must get!!! Lemon spritz was super fresh a bit sweet but totally delicious. Get the smash burger so damn fresh! The Sunday Roast with Yorkshire pudding was amazing according to the rest of my party. Make a reservation for brunch! Deanna our server was amazing we loved her!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ryan Campbell · Nov 2025

Absolutely loved it here. Great service, great Guinness and fish and chips. The Irish Stew was the perfect comfort dish, really felt homemade. Beware: if you're going on a weekend, don't expect a table without a reservation. I got very lucky, wish I knew for my visit.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Taylor Johnson · Jan 2026

First time here and it was disappointing. The fish and chips were just okay, a little bland and soggy. The pizza was pretty good. Service was the real issue: our food arrived at 6:45, we ordered another round with our waitress but after 30 minutes had to go up to the bar to get the drinks ourselves, and we didn’t see her again until 7:35 when we flagged her down for the check - honestly some of the worst service I’ve experienced. Drinks were good, but not worth the hassle. Also their dining chairs are SO uncomfortable.

★★★★★ 5.0 Season Swartz · Mar 2026

Music was phenomenal, live band, a little too loud but fun. The food was excellent, try the spice bag! Service was friendly and authentic. Drinks were good. Best Guinness!

So much fan fare for this new pub in Dorchester. Parking can be hard. They do have a small lot otherwise it’s street parking. We were first sat at a round booth (4 of us). The circumference of the table did not match the booth. It was very awkward to sit. Thankfully our server was a pro and moved us to a table in the back room. That back area is huge. One thing that bugged me was the state of the menus. Mine was dirty and had clearly got wet before. It is a small detail but it felt a bit sloppy. What we got: - Fish and chips (8/10): The filet of fish was huge. It came with coleslaw, tartar sauce, and a side of curry. The slaw is very mayo heavy but I liked it. The tartar is easily some of the best I have ever had. I never had curry with a chippy before, it was great. The only reason this
