| - I am completely shocked that this place has not been reviewed by more people. Then again, based on the amount of patrons that are there, I probably shouldn't be that surprised.
I have been coming here since I was an undergrad (sometime in the last century) and while it is conveniently located, have rarely seen it packed. With the exception of St. Patrick's Day, around New Years or any significant "football" matches.
The indoor space is really, really big and has that dark wood, Irish pub decor. Head to the back and there are two patios on different levels that back on the rail road tracks. You hear the trains less and less every time they go by...
I have eaten many items off this menu, but more recently my friends and I have had the Fish and Chips, Angus Beef Burger, Macaroni and Cheese (sans bacon) and the sweet potato fries. None have been out of this world, and I did not finish my burger last week because it kept crumbling out of the bun and I gave up on it. The beer was more important anyway.
The beer selection is large enough and I admit that I come here more for that than the food, which has definitely gone up in price but not in quality. It is in my area, so it has always been a perfect meeting spot with my friends for birthdays, a drink after work, or a lazy Sunday.
I think the server outfits are ridiculous - short green kilts, tight black t-shirts and knee-high socks - looks like me and my friends in the '90's.
It has been more than half empty every time I have been in the last year, so I do recommend it if you are in the area and looking for a pub, but do not expect a large crowd.
