Yeah, this place is a real Irish pub because they do have a massive beer selection, with so many varieties to numerous to even try to name. And it's not as if it's a dozen different types of lagers and pilsners either. They have a genuine variety of all types, including stouts of course and many adventurous offerings.
They ensure to have pub favourites on their menu, and even the shepherd's pie was real Irish-style being made with lamb. Being that they are in Cabbagetown, they're naturally going to have more modern options as well, including some vegetarian ones. I split their veggie burger and lamb burger (it may have said something like Greek-style) with a friend. The veggie burger actually comfortably won out, with a tasty well-seasoned black bean patty and fried jalapeƱo bites in it. i enjoyed the lamb burger, but was still a bit mildly disappointed with it - namely because the lamb was a bit too overcooked. The fries and chips were very good.
In spite of the place being packed out (for trivia night) we had great service with a friendly, attentive server who checked in on us regularly.
