The Workman's Friend is a new hotspot in Plaza-Midwood that seems to be packed every time I go in there. I mean, good luck getting a seat on the weekend. Not that it's a small place, they just draw that large of a crowd. The place is very Celtic themed and has a very old and pleasant ambiance on the inside or for a date or dinner with friends. The outside pretty nice too, though the paint job on some of the bench's isn't the best. I had paint flakes rub off on my back there.
They have some very interesting cocktails there and their signature "Workman's Friend" is a much try. Also, while I'm at it, try the Evalin it's a watermelon jalapeno drink that is mad refreshing. Beer? It's a Celtic bar, yes they have good beer.
Their food has great presentation, as it should for the price. There is only one veg dish, which is a vegetable curry and it's really quite excellent. I tend to go here for the drinks though.
