| - This place has promise, but it's confused. Is it an Irish Pub? Is it a "gastro pub" as it purports? In my opinion it's none of those. It is okay for some drinks, but that's about it. The food and service has declined considerably over the years.
The menu is varied, but the preparation and quality of food is not very good. Staple Irish fare is poor, the fish and chips is irretrievably bad. I think they used pancake batter on the fish, and the chips were Sysco's specials. The wings were rubbery. The BBQ bacon cheeseburger featured a gargantuan, inedible onion ring, coated in two pounds of pancake batter. Aside from its temperature approaching that of molten glass, the onion wasn't properly peeled, it seriously looked like a donut. The pretzel bun was okay, I grade it a C, and that's generous.
The atmosphere is the best part of this place. If you're looking for pub ambience, this is the place. If you're looking for some good food, you're going to be disappointed, unless you are satisfied with mediocre pedestrian food service fare dressed up as gastro pub creations.
I hope they get better soon.
