- foodOur experience at this restaurant exceeded expectations, offering a solid beer selection and incredible food. We visited on a Saturday afternoon to watch a Cavs game and were pleased to find a place with the audio on and multiple screens.
- drinksIt's a true Ohio City gem, especially for us urban folks. The bartender is awesome and caring; he even brought me drinks to my table without me asking and knew exactly what beer and liquor I drink! It's an awesome place and highly recommended!

- fish and chipsFriend had great fish and chips
Frequently criticized
- baked potato mac and cheesewas surprised. It was just rigatoni with white cheddar sauce and a dallop of sour cream. There was no baked potato
- coleslawThe bar manager also seemed to key in his own tip without any prior discussion or consent, which felt like sketchy behavior. Additionally, my request for no coleslaw on my sandwich was not accommodated. Despite the delicious food, these service issues, particularly the manager's actions regarding the tip, were quite off-putting and left me conflicted about this place.
- friesordering the fries without seasoning. They were over-seasoned
- lunchThe staff was attentive and charming with the patrons. The only downside is they have no lunch, so I cannot assess their food. I am inclined to try a dinner there sometime.
- steak saladThe Cheesesteak sandwich was amazing. My wife had the steak salad and didn't care for the dressing. The pretzel balls were great!
- wingsWhile the food was great, the service left much to be desired. I was initially told to go to the bar to order, and then informed that I could only order 9 wings at a time, with restrictions on ordering multiple sets per person. The bar manager also seemed to key in his own tip without any prior discussion or consent, which felt like sketchy behavior.
If you're looking for a spot with genuinely delicious food, especially traditional Irish fare and standout wings, this place is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful that lunch options might be limited, and some specific dishes or seasoning could be a hit or miss for individual tastes.

Great drinks, service, and decor!
I haven't tried the food yet, but the drinks were very reasonably priced. The service was great, and the decor is cute! While I enjoyed the drinks, my boyfriend wasn't as impressed.
It seems like a great place to be a regular, and the music is also great!

Good for Drinks, Lacking Spurs Fans
I visited this restaurant hoping it would be a lively spot for watching soccer, specifically Tottenham matches. Unfortunately, the turnout was quite disappointing, with only 2-5 other Spurs fans present. It might have been due to an Ohio State game also being on.
Despite the low turnout, the Spurs fans who were there were friendly, and I enjoyed my time. The staff was great, super friendly, and attentive, checking in for drink orders and chatting briefly. I would definitely go back to just have drinks, even without a game on.

Great Food, Fun Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. I ordered the pretzel balls and the steak salad, and both were excellent. The steak salad, in particular, was awesome.
The bartender was very attentive and engaging without being intrusive. The atmosphere was a little odd, but for a pub/tavern, the focus on good food and drinks was appreciated. The patrons were also a lot of fun, contributing to a lively environment.

Great Guinness and Scratch Kitchen
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The bar staff were friendly, and I enjoyed a great Guinness pint. The scratch kitchen offered delicious food, and having the football on multiple TVs made for a great atmosphere.
You really can't beat it.
