I had never been to Tyber Creek before, despite the number of times I have passed it driving through South End. I was very impressed on my first visit and well certainly be back.
I love the atmosphere of a pub (opposed to a bar). The dark wood everywhere and the focus on good beer and good friends (instead of trying to be a restaurant/dance hall/bar). Upstairs is more seating and another full bar with drafts, bottles, and spirits. They do food as well, but did not sample any on my first visit. It seems like they take a stab at being Irish, with Guinness and a few other Irish staples on draft, but only a few selections on the menu.
As others have mentioned, the music can be a little on the loud side. But, at least they play DECENT music, something that fits with the atmosphere and the menu.
Fun hangout place that I'll certainly return to.
