The bartender has a jalapeño margarita available. Don't know how long it'll be on the menu.

The Dark and Stormy is great. Karaoke on Thursday night is amazing. Finished so many work happy hours here.

No draught beers, but I can dig a place that serves margaritas in a wine glass.

Awesome looking place! Horrible service..me and my girlfriend went there and sat next to a group of guys. Girl bartenders ignored us all night. It's a shame cause it's got a great vibe

No draft at the front bar. Limited amount of bottle. Nice place thought to sit and talk. Not too loud.

The wait staff seemed distracted, but the lobster roll and the steak frites were both excellent.

Thursday night is karaoke night. Many suits singing Sinatra, but still a good time.

Great pub!

Glad the rooster is happy, because I'm not. This is the worst service I've had in several states, many cities, even other countries.

Maybe if Shane hadn't over served the woman to my right it would have been a fun night. Go somewhere else with better attitudes and better prices
