My family planned my bridal shower here..it went great and we loved the venue..however the owner, Tanya, came in as we were cleaning and completely ruined our view of the place. There was a misunderstanding that was a result of a lack of communication from both parties. Also, the bartender they had working our party openly admitted to us that she was unaware of this specific policy that was misunderstood. In short, as soon as we were told that we were violating their policy, we shut it down. The bartender, who we thought was nice, added a fee to our bill for this policy violation that occurred for about 5 minutes. One of my friends, who has ran restaurant businesses, didnt think this was right so she nicely asked the bartender (who again, openly admitted she had no clue about this policy) if she could just talk to a manager so she could explain what had happened and talk about weather it was necessary to charge us. This apparently hurt the bartenders feelings and in the words of the owner, she ran back to her manager crying because we were "mean" to her. Mind you, we offered her a plate of food, tried to make friendly conversation with her multiple times, and even asked her if she was making a decent wage by working our party because we knew people wouldnt be buying drinks, therefore she wouldnt be getting tips..so we wanted to make sure we tipped her if she wasnt (many of us are bartenders and waitresses). So we arent quite sure what happened there.... Anyway, As we were cleaning up the venue, Tanya literally barged through the door and started yelling immediately. She asked to talk to whoever was in charge, which was my mom and my cousin, and stuck her finger directly in my cousins face and continued to yell at her and make a huge scene. She did not ask us what the situation was or try to talk to us at all like any normal adult would do, let alone business owner. She was so hot headed and frankly, insane, that we were trying to explain to her the issue and she heard absolutely nothing we said. We were trying to tell her that if she wants to calm down and nicely talk to us, we would love to explain the situation..but this prompted her to say she was going to call 911 on us (This was actually pretty funny and we are still laughing about it because it was so ridiculous) After she threatened us with that, her husband sent her out. We were then able to have an adult conversation with him and once we explained what happened..he was very understanding and admitted they had no clue what the full story was.. He was a nice guy..but his wife was just too much of an awful person for us to ever recommend this place to anyone. In fact, we will all go out of our way to say how awful it is, because I wouldnt want anyone else to have to deal with her on their special day. The funny thing is, 20 seconds before she barged in, my friend and I were saying how cool the venue was and that we couldnt understand why more people around our town didnt host parties there..well we got our answer!

I hosted my cousins bridal shower here, as her out of state maid of honor. We brought champagne to have mimosas and found out after we had already opened a bottle (as the bartender watched) that we could not have our own alcohol and there was a $50 uncorking fee. We felt we should not be responsible for that fee, as it was unbeknownst to us and as soon as it was communicated that it was not allowed, we immediately shut it down. When we asked the bartender to speak to a manager (very politely, after making conversation with her and offering her food and tips for her service there that day), the owners, Tonya specifically, came flying in like a bat out of hell immediately yelling and saying we made the bartender cry and demanding we pay this fee- regardless of the fact that in my many times speaking to her to plan this party, she never once mentioned this rule nor did she tell me that we were even going to have a bartender for the party. She put her hands in my face while yelling and even threatened to call the cops, never once did she try to calm down or try to sit with us and hear what we had to say in a reasonable, civil manner. The facilities were great and catered well to our needs but I would not recommend anyone to this place after our experience with her and her maniacal outburst. For inquiring minds- after her husband sent her out, we were able to sit down with him and resolve the issue like normal humans.

The burger was gray and tasteless. And we watched the bartender pull it from the microwave. The bartender was very nice and out going, but the food was some of the worst I have ever had.

True Irish pub. Exactly what you want in a pub. Billiard and game room. Top shelf alcohol. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
