This is a tough one. Been here twice so far with friends... I love the old and aging decor, the place is packed with guys after work and the music is good. Def a local spot. I don't mind the darkness as an Irish pub has to have a personality and this has it. great for crowds. The issue is sub par food and drink prices. I think they can do better. Tried a number of dishes and it was just meh. I would go for the social and atmosphere, but wishing food quality and drink prices were better.
