Our tailgate before a Simpson College game was set here. And even though we were the 'away team' they were very friendly and hospitable. It was a perfect place for our group to meet before the game. They ran out of some alcohol but went and got more very quickly. It's a really cool Irish theme pub. It's also in a really good location and there's some cute stores in the area. They have TVs so it's also a good place to watch a game. I would recommend. We were very pleased.

Since Bob took over - we have never had a bad experience. He is PASSIONATE about good food. He skips the frozen bar food and spends HOURS every day getting in the kitchen to prep all of the fresh veggies, meat, and other items. Sauces are made from scratch! With fresh herbs. I highly recommend Sunday brunch as well! Holy smokes. We brought family and each got something different- everyone loved their food. Tonight we had a burger and fish and chips + a side salad. That fresh ranch 🤤. I didn’t get a photo of the dessert but you will love that too!

Great place to check out! The owner and staff were so nice and we had a great time!!! Would recommend to anyone! Food & beers were excellent— great selection of both. Scotch eggs were one of the unique menu items we tried and they were amazing! Next time we are in the area we are definitely coming back in!

Warm, friendly and inciting atmosphere. Food was great! Highly recommend the calamari and bread pudding, best I've ever had! We had 4 generations there and everyone had something different, it was all delicious. Great beer selection. Great service! We will be back!!

This time I placed an order to go mid-afternoon, was fast, easy, and delicious. Wish I could have stayed to have some irish beer but I was on a time constraint. Will always try to visit this place when I am in town! I ordered 2 scotch eggs.
