You won't find and good Irish food here, but they do some English stuff like bangers n mash, fish and chips, shepherds pie. The music and the staff are great.

Great nachos. Not the usual mound of overloaded chips drenched in toppings rather a reasonable portion with a lovely avacado crema topping. Delicious snack or light meal.

We loved it! Megan was our bartender, and she knows how to get you in and out of there in a hurry when you're trying to get to the theater!

Irish stew was tasty, and just the right portion. Beata and her team served me well.

The food is amazing!! Celtic beef stew is a must. They play house music, not what I expected for an Irish Pub.

The rooftop beer garden is great for sunny days like these, and $5 happy hour doesn't hurt either :)

Pub options, perfect spot to grab a snack and a drink while waiting for hotel checkin time.

It's like 4 little pubs stacked atop one another. Rooftop bar is nice any season. Need to clean the Guinness lines though. Unacceptable pour for an Irish pub.

A decent option in the worst of neighborhoods. You're not here for haute cuisine - get a burger.

Christina is a fantastic bartendress!

$60 for 4 shots of Fireball and 1 Jack and Coke? No wonder all three stories were dead on a Saturday night. The "rooftop" is a joke.
