★★★★★ 5.0 Keith Henderson · Oct 2025

We went here for an early dinner. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered the corned beef and cabbage. My dish came with 3 large pieces of fish on top of a pile of fries and a cup of cole slaw. It was enough for 3 meals. My wife's dish had plenty of corned beef on top of cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. She was very pleased with the meal. Super friendly service.

I don’t know why it took me so long to find this amazing ☘️ Irish pub! Had 3 visits in the past few weeks and besides the amazing vibe and craftsmanship that went into the interior woodwork the food and service is excellent. Had the Murphy skins, fried mozzarella, onion rings for appetizers they were plentiful and delicious. Our mains were the fish and chips, bacon cheeseburger and I have had the Shepherds pie, all do the kitchen staff proud! The Guinness is also ice cold and delicious!☘️

I can’t wait to go back! What a great place. Food was delicious and service was awesome. We did go 30 minutes after opening and it was not busy so maybe that helped. Our waitress, Chris, was very friendly and kind. She had much knowledge concerning the menu and beers. We had the Murphys skins, shepherds pie, traditional Irish breakfast and molten lava cake. I NEED to have those potato skins again asap!

Absolute gem of a place! Felt like we were home! Authentic Irish sausages and shepherd's pie was amazing! Staff so friendly and the whole place had a cozy, Irish pub atmosphere with its roaring fire and Guinness memorabilia.. highly recommended

★★★★★ 5.0 Alejandra Crespo · May 2025

Really nice Irish pub with modern music playing with an Irish twist. Had good IPA choices on draft and delicious chicken pot pie. Big portions. Split the chicken pot pie with a friend and we both were satisfied. 10/10
