I've only eaten here once. It was an interesting spot for the restaurant, hidden away among a facade that did not strike me as an Irish pub/restaurant. However, once you step inside it is obvious what this place is. It is very charming and almost makes me want to purchase a pint right there. I do my best to stop the urge.
The seating is odd; we are taken off to another room that I must admit is much nicer to sit in than the bar area. As the band was showing up right as we were leaving, I could see it getting quite loud in the bar area but could be not nearly as bad in the back room.
I wasn't that hungry to begin with but one look down the menu had me ordering Beef Stew w/ Guiness. I was thinking soup more than stew for some reason so when a huge bowl was served to me, I was taken aback. Had I been hungrier, I would've eaten much more, but instead my companion was asking me if I was gonna eat that. That was a first!
I didn't partake in the alcohol consumption here (saved my money for Casino Royale) but the choices seemed plentiful and the bar would be fun when a band is there. The cost is reasonable and you get what you pay for.
I'll be coming back, hopefully sooner than later.
