Excellent food. I had the bangers and mash and am looking forward to going back and having it again. My wife had the shepherd’s pie which was also very good. The service was quick and very friendly. Great beer. The room was a little bit noisy, but it was full of people really enjoying themselves.

Excellent pub. Friendly locals, great food and games on the set. Parking is wonky but definitely worth the sprint in for a pull.

The fish and chips were amazing, battered perfectly and almost melted in my mouth. Partner got the lamb burger which was also amazing. Vibes in the place were perfect for an Irish pub. Will definitely come again to try more! Was just disappointed that they did have any Magners or Ciders from across the pond on the menu!

This location is absolutely special. Not so big but very authentic. The food was very delicious. Especially the fries and the beyond burger, the tartar for the fish as well. But the best is the price. The price performance ratio is absolutel reasonable. Gladly again anytime.

Awesome vibe, service and food! Great place to chill after traveling all day. Had the Philly cheese steak and fries... So good!! Bartender was fun to chat with, too. Highly recommend visiting!

07/2023 Ordered fish and chips and the Irish chicken burger. Very good comfort food on a long evening, hot and filling. The tartar sauce is a good addition and even a great pairing with fries. Service was fast, ambiance was great and calm. Located right at a street intersection so it is hard to miss. 09/2023 Ordered a Shepherd's Pie and an Irish Beef Stew. The Shepherd's Pie was delicious with a creamy consistency from the upper mash potatoes and a savory layer of lamb and vegetables. I did not add the free bread but should have done so. The gravy was a nice topper that added some sweetness to the potatoes. The Irish Beef Stew was a very hearty meal. The stew was the right amount of thick and had plenty of beef chunks along with assorted bite-sized vegetables. 07/2024 Added an order of Bangers and Mash and a drink of Pear Cider and a Ginger Agave Cider. The Bangers and Mash is a very filling high protein plate. The sausages are juicy and plenty for their size. The gravy either on the mashed potatoes or with the sausages adds a sweet and creamy element to the plate. And the beans certainly wrap up a hearty and strong meal to carry one's stomach for more than just one meal. The Pear Cider is a good go-to cider choice for something refreshing to wash down your meal. The Ginger Agave Cider is a different but also quite refreshing drink to have with a slightly stronger ginger note profile. Service was quick and courteous and our meal was enjoyed quite nicely. Do note that the kitchen closes at 10 PM so it's best to arrive at an appropriate time.

Cracking "pub" style food. Service was good, friendly and knowledgeable about all the options. Homemade desserts were a must. Burgers were really tasty.

Nice little Irish pub with beers that we didn’t see outside of Ireland. My mom was really happy to be able to have them and see some dishes she had during her time in Ireland on the menu as well. We were welcomed and helped the best way possible. The food was amazing I am still sad about my half pounder and the fact I couldn’t finish it 😆 Definitely a place to check out !!

I found this location by using Yelp and Foursquare for reviews because I was in San Francisco for work. When I got to this location it was very family-oriented. I'm not necessarily saying that they're a bunch of kids but it seemed like everybody was close and like they knew each other. The food was excellent and my drink was excellent so I had no complaints. I could tell though that the waitress thought that I was trying to complain about her when I asked for the manager. Little did she know I was actually asking for the manager so that way I can give her a compliment. Soo this should be a lesson for all the waiters, you never know what a person is going to say to the manager. I know most of the time it's negative but just keep on smiling and see what happens because they could be like me. They could be giving you a wonderful compliment.

My favorite Irish pub downtown to get a black & blue (guiness & blue moon), the atmosphere is cozy but not cramped, with dark wood, brick walls, plenty of big screens for sports (they show everything from Premier League soccer and rugby to NFL and more), and sometimes live traditional Irish music. There's an impressive selection of whiskeys, and the bartenders craft some great cocktails, which is why I like taking my co-workers from across the pond here for happy hour after work.

Been here a few times and the burger is amazing. Love coming here to grab a quick beer and meet up with friends. The service is amazing everyone is kind and very helpful. Will totally be going back.

Stopped in here for an early dinner with my partner. It was full of people getting drinks but my focus here was strictly dinner needs. Ordered the chicken burger and my partner got bangers and mash. I was very pleased with the quantity/quality of the food in relation to the price. The chicken burger was big to my surprise. A grilled chicken breast, with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion, in between a buttermilk bun. If I came here again I would definitely grab a drink to watch a sports game. This place has a big tavern vibe with multiple televisions for your sport needs.

Let me first start by saying I didn't go here for beer or drinks like probably 90% of the people go who here. We wanted some Irish pub food. I got the shepherds pie and my wife for the Irish stew. Both were under seasoned and a bit below expectations. I wouldn't recommend either. However, the brussel sprouts appetizer was absolutely awesome. It seemed like a grab a drink and a couple apps type place and that would be great. Service was good. The lady was so so nice but definitely struggling under the pressure. Had multiples of the food brought out and confusingly taken away. The place has a charming look/atmosphere though.
