★★★★★ 5.0 Patty CANAVAN · Jan 2026

One of our favorite pubs/restaurants in Old Town. Lively atmosphere, decent pub food. Upstairs seating in addition to main floor, live music on weekends all the big holidays. Outdoor seating, dog friendly during warmer months. This last visit we had the Irish egg rolls and a cheeseburger. Egg rolls were very good, crispy filled with corned beef and sauerkraut and flavorful dipping sauce. The cheeseburger was also tasty with tomato and lettuce but no onion. Cottage fries were a bit limp. Plenty of pint beers and bottle to choose from, good Bloody Mary served with wedge of lemon and lime (no celery). Great choice for the area overall

Great craft cocktails and the food was delicious. We did the famous egg rolls and got burgers to go. Live music made it a little hectic and loud. Also, an odor permeates the foyer - maybe from being an older building close to the water. We would definitely go back though.

The staff here are extremely friendly and welcoming. It’s not a bad place to have a drink, but I would certainly stay clear of eating here. I asked the manager if he would eat my dish and he said no as it was awful. There was something in my dish which I couldn’t tell which part of the animal it came from. I ordered the beef stew. Upon looking at other Google photos of the same dish it appears that mine was lacking peas, onion, and celery too.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Skye L · Feb 2026

Had a decent meal of fish and chips at the restaurant. I ordered an old fashion that came in a tiny glass filled with ice. I also ordered bread pudding to go. I was really excited to get home on such a cold night and enjoy my desert, until I opened the box to find what looks like a small square of store bought Hawaiian bread with sugar syrup poured on top. Definitely not what’s been shown in other pictures! What a let down.

★★★★★ 5.0 Emmett Moore · Oct 2025

I've been to ALOT of Irish pubs in both North America and Europe, and this is probably the best place I've been too. The food is amazing, the Sheperds Pie is amazing, even with the cheese on it. The staff, was superb, never letting my drink sit empty for more then a couple minutes. And the live music on a Monday was perfect.... I will be back!
