Lucille FisherAugust 2, 2015Great laughs & entertainment! Catch the matinee to break your day of sight seeing/shopping. Then head out to Old Town for a drink & a stroll before dinner.

"Fantastic neighborhood Irish pub. Great outdoor patio. Food is nothing spectacular, but I'll forever frequent this place since it's so close to my home. Oh and they pour a perfect Guinness."
