    Good ambience. We ordered drink, fried peppers and fish & chips. Fish is a BIG fish piece with chips. Awesome. Fried peppers are good too. Been there couple of times. Love to go again.

    They have a real working fireplace, which is a great spot to warm up during the colder months. We just love the Jameson Glazed Steak Tips.

    Many of the staff are straight from Ireland, so expect an accent to accompany whatever it is you're drinking. Ice-cold Guinness, Irish car bombs and creative, quick-hitting cocktails abound. Read more

    Don't listen to Tim's tip- Be "original" by playing Droplick Murphey's? That's not original. It's great the way it is, 3 distinct zones of music and atmosphere keeps us here every weekend.

    Great fish and chips! Also one of the few places that offers a real snakebite: Guinness and cider.

    Cool place if you can get a seat or served, it gets overly crowded on weekends that makes the experience unworthy

    If you like Irish Whiskey try the cask strength 12-yr Red Breast. It's what dreams are made of.

    Went here the other night. I didn't check in until after I paid my cover.. DOH! Band upstairs was awesome though and worth the $5. They covered a lot of great songs.

    Used to be the best Reuben in town, now it's got brown and tough roast beef. Honestly a disappointment. So, I will recommend elsewhere... Fish and chips are still good.

    I didn't know there was something as cooter kicking or sack slamming as the Irish breakfast burger. I don't know what to do with myself right now

    C'mon, RiRa, be authentic. Don't play friggin' Deejay music on a Saturday night. If you can't afford an Irish singer, just play Flogging Molly/Dropkick Murphys/U2. Otherwise, you're just another gener

    Nothing like a quiet lunch on a cold rainy day next to their fireplace. I recommend a Guinness and their Shepard's Pie.
