Nice authentic feel to the place. Old (looking) wood, nice big fireplace, fire pit outside. Humidor and lots of fine whiskey and wiskey. There is lots of potential here. On the down side, it was moderately expensive, but I base that on location and an attempt at sophistication. The music, however, didnt work. It was loud and completely unvaried. 80s hair bands and thrash metal dont pair very well with the suggested atmosphere. The multiple large flat panel displays are also distracting. Too much intense cold flashing blue light takes the warmth out of a room designed to be cozy. This place was built for ambiance, they just need to fine tune the balance.

Worst food weve ever had just ordered burgers we asked for medium got super well done to the point they were splitting in the middle I added fried egg to mine got a runny egg where the yoke busted and was leaking all over burger not to metion it took almost 35 mins to get them also got side salads which had old tomatos and 2 slivers of onion for $50 I would have hoped for way better food this does include A 7 beer but never the less I wouldnt recommend this to anyone ! VERY DISSAPOINTING

The food was "meh" at best, and the beer selection was limited to traditional Irish favorites (Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks, etc.). During happy hour, almost everything is 1/2 price, which made this a reasonable stop for dinner. We would have been really upset if we had paid their menu prices for what we got. On the bright side, the service was relatively quick even though they had a skeleton crew on a Monday evening and the bartender was friendly.

We had a going away party for a coworker at 3 on a Tuesday and had the place to ourselves. It looked exactly like the pubs we visited in Dublin. This small Irish pub had a good selection of beers and surprisingly good food. Everyone was raving about the fish and chips. There was a small outdoor seating area with two fire pits that I imagine would be really nice on a cool night. Id definitely host another get together here.

This is probably a nice corner bar but we came for dinner, taking advantage of the happy hour specials. The chicken fingers and rueban spring rolls were prettt good however the fish in the fish and chips was so greasy and tasteless we didnt finish it and the rueban had more cheese then anything else and little meat. Maybe we caught them on a bad evening. Prices were fair and the bartender was attentive.

Fantastic staff and service, and one of the best fish and chips Ive ever had hands down. Only disappointment was to get regular fries (which were still very delicious though a little greasy) instead of waffle fries as advertised on the menu. Highly recommended you check out this National Harbour Hotspot for yourself!

Susan was wonderful. The atmosphere was so excellently authentic. The whisky and scotch selection is simply fantastic and although they have limited taps, the bottled beer list is really great for all beer drinkers with everything from pilsners to tripels and stouts.

There is a reason this place is surrounded by 5 star restaurants, and they can barely achieve 3 stars. Poor service, questionable food, and a atmosphere. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Great bar! The bartender was super kind and attentive. If youre looking for a full fledged restaurant, you may be a bit disappointed. Their food menu is very limited.

Visited two days ago, and I enjoyed myself. Friendly staff, and laid back environment to drink, smoke a cigar, and socialize. Ill be back soon!!

Not open on Monday April 24th. Staff told us it would be when we asked the previous day. No notice posted outside and no message on their phone.
