We are here on Stout night . Beer is wonderful. Irish Stew is to die for

Men's Health Mag

Feed your growing bones with a shepherd's pie or (heck, and) some Guinness Beef Stew . You'll have the base you need to survive a long night of hard drinking here. To drink? Go for Smithwick's.

Roger Harris

Great beer ! But food can vary from so-so to very good (choose carefully!). Mostly this is a stop for an authentic imtimate pub atmosphere.
