This was a cool place to hang out with friends on a Friday night. We hadn't made reservations but found a table for 6 easily at 6pm. We ordered lots of beer (guinness of course!) and each ordered mains. I had the pasta of the day, which had chicken and random veggies. It was alright, nothing memorable. The pasta was way on the al dente side. There was a lamb shepherd's pie, which was described as being very lamb-y! That should be a good thing unless you hate lamb. The complimentary bread was plain, tided us over til our food came out.
I wouldn't come here for the food, but service was friendly and we sat there all night. Also, coming from Victoria, where there are Irish and English pubs galore, I think what this place felt very uncozy compared to the other ones I've been in. Could be a slow night or maybe they could start up live entertainment :D Seemed to work well in Victoria.
