On a Friday night after work around 5:30PM, it was so noisy, I could barely hear my colleagues just a few inches away. If you don't mind LOUD and can avoid shouting yourself hoarse to carry on a conversation, go for it. There are quieter (but still lively) places to enjoy a pint or two with friends, with live music that doesn't make your skull throb in a not so good way. I wanted to like this place, but I just could not give it more stars, knowing there are other pubs in town. Maybe I'm just gettin' old. :D
