Great new semi downtown place. I love the area too. First let me say that the five stars is rare for me for anyone. If there was a 4.5 stars, I would have picked that one.
Food: Much better than most "pub" fares, great Shepard's pie (my favorite). Fair price and quality food.
Drink: Besides the Irish staples, they have a good selection of Single Malt Scotch.
Service: A few faults as any place has with new employees. Overall good service. The level of service gets better as you are recognized as a return customer who appreciates what they have to offer.
Music: Again spotty a few times but generally great. I have asked them to turn down the patio speakers so we could hear the live music being played inside. Local artists and traditional Irish bands.
Ambiance: Modern Old Irish Pub. Yes that contradicts but you'll get over it -lol- It looks huge inside thanks to beautiful wall mirrors and wonderful murals. I like the stylish bathrooms with glass counter tops and a glass raised sink bowl. The bathroom mirror is tilted down which I'd never seen before.
Patio: Hot nights. Cold beer. or Single Malt and hand rolled cigar. Take your pick.
Extras: Fine liquor selection and many Irish beers. Cigars available at the bar for the patio.
Would recommend to anyone that likes good food and friendly people.
