We made a reservation because we had a group of 10. Because of our reservation we were seated upstairs. They thought we would be eating food because of our reservation which I guess screwed up their waiters. Once that was sorted out service improved and we had some good Irish whiskey and Irish beer. There was also live Irish music. They were good but it took them a little while to get inspired it seemed. By making the reservation I think we avoided any cover charges which was good.
The variety of beer was very good. I am unfortunately unable to comment on the food as we didn't eat here.
