The hot bollix appetizer is phenomenal. Mashed potato, cheese and bacon rolled into balls and deep fried, then served with ranch dressing and hot sauce. It's the most American take on Irish food I've ever seen. Unfortunately, that's where the food stopped being delightful for me. The entrees were merely blah. I supposed I should have ordered the dish and chips everyone raves about, but I just wasn't in the mood.
Otherwise, the decor is great and actually quite authentic. Flogging Molly over the speakers? Not bad at all.
The beer...not enough selection and they need to clean their lines, but the Guinness was better than anyone should expect from a pub in Tempe.
