| - What kind of pub does not have chicken wings, interac, decent beer selection, or decent service? Why P.J. O'Brien's of course!
Went there after work with a couple of co-workers. We just wanted some chicken wings and beer. They bill themselves as an Irish pub, but there is really nothing Irish about it. As we walk in, we are told there are no seats left and if we would like to wait at the bar. However, there were 2 tables in the back and we needed to point that out to the dopey waitress.
We had a seat and we're given menus. The menu was limited to a few items, but what we wanted, and what most decent pubs offer was chicken wings and good selection of beer. This place had neither! I just expected more out of a pub.
I ordered a Guiness and a steak sandwich instead. The Guiness was great as allways , but the steak sandwich was horrible. I asked for medium rare, but the steak was well done. The bread was overly dry and krusty. The french fries were slightly warm and too salty.
Our service was quite slow, we had to wave down the waitress whenever we needed something. I'm a patient enough person, I understand things can get busy or understaffed, but the bar was not pack and there were a ton of staff all over.
When the time came to pay, I give her my debit card and she informed me that they don't debit and there was an ATM in the basement. This is were my blood starts boiling, this is a restaurant, not a bank, why do they do this. Of course we know the answer, they want to charge you 4$ for the banking fee. Fine, I took it out of her tip, but explained to her why I gave her a shitty tip. I usually never do this unless the place is very bad, and this time I had to. The best to them, but I will not be returning.
