I was all set to write a review of this Friday afternoon and give it two stars, but Friday night, after the ball game, we headed up there. Somewhere in between the good conversation, loud-but-not-too-loud bar noise and more than a few drinks I had a great time. The trappings (flags, showy beer taps, etc) ring a bit false to me, but I am, after all, an Irishman treading in dangerous territory.
Drinks are stiff and relatively cheap. There's usually always a free table to sit at and the clientele is varied and friendly. Not the best of CenPho but not the worst, either.
