| - I've been wanting to come here for awhile, ever since I heard that Murphy left Connoly's to start his own place. I wasn't disappointed. This bar and kitchen is a little off the beaten path if you are used to being directly downtown, however, it isn't too far to make the walk. It is very close to the baseball stadium.
The interior of the bar is nicely done. They have a really good menu. we had a party of 7, were immediately seated, and had great service. Its a Irish Pub, complete with genuine Irish ownership. Our waitress, Sophi, was from London, which added to the charm. The had great food, with selections you would expect, like Sheppard's Pie, Fish and Chips, etc. They also had a great beer and drink selection. I had Birdsong's Higher Ground IPA, they also had OMB and other local craft beer on tap. Not a massive selection, but enough to keep you from not feeling neglected if you want a local craft beer.
For the food, 4 of our party got the Fish and Chips, probably the best I've ever had. My wife got a pork shoulder, the pork was very tender, juicy, and a great taste. She loved it. Two others in the party got sandwiches, which were also very good.
I would say a great start for this new Irish Pub. Check it out and make sure to say hello to Murphy the owner, who should be around making sure the bar lives up to his name.
