Good booze. Good food. Sweet Irish server.
The terrace is a pretty good size on the shady side of the street so you can sit out there for hours, or all day, without being uncomfortable - they also put up large umbrellas to shade you. They're dog friendly outside, and that's really cool, even giving the pup next to us a potato to chew on!
Summary: they're not reinventing the wheel, but they're nailing the pub thing.
