Fun Irish bar with a laid back atmosphere and nice selection of Irish whisk(e)ies at a good price. A good place for a less expensive evening than the also good next-door Dubliner.

Lunch on the weekend isn't busy. The service is attentive (but not too much) and you'll get your meal quickly. Their sandwiches are great!

Fish & Chips is excellent! Best fried fish I've had this side of the Atlantic.

Awesome live music upstairs on weekends, mainly classic rock and folk songs for the crowd to sing along with!
