This is a wonderful old school pub. The pool table is well maintained, locals are friendly and a great overall vibe.

Always a warm place where you can be yourself. Bartender, Issey, makes a beautiful Irish coffee on cold evenings. Just the right mix of slightly sweet, porportionate coffee-whiskey-cream and perfect temperature. Also, well built Guinness!

Cyd Gibson

Love this bar! Everyone there was Irish. Dropped by just to find a head on the way to taking pal to SFO from Santa Rosa. The Bar Maid created a fresh pot of coffee for an Irish. I will come back.

Reminds of me a lot of an Irish pub. With Guinness on tap and bottles of Bullmers. Even down to having a picture of JFK on the wall. But the bar definitely has an American twist.

This is a cash-only bar, so it’s helpful to know before you go.

Cash only, not very welcoming, guy at the door actually said "thanks for leaving"... don't come here for a drink unless u have nowhere else to go (hint:take an Uber.ANYWHERE!) Only reason why I gave this place 2 stars is because the bartender served me and she seemed nice.

15 minutes sitting at a table. Eye contact from bar tender multiple times, but no service. I'm sure their beer is good, but I can get good beer anywhere. The upside is they let me pee there. The downside is the bathroom is filthy and I could see into the bar whilst relieving myself. In summary, go somewhere else unless you just want to pee with a view of the pool table.
