    Deserves five stars. Super nice management and friendly servers. Got the LFC match on right away and they were attentive and accommodating. The 90+ min comeback (Mane goal) was a bonus!

    I absolutely loved watching the game here. First time visiting to watch my fav Arsenal vs Man city. The bartender lady was super nice, engaging and friendly. Arsenl vs Mancity game disappointed but from the security to the workers, absolutely a nice comfy, roomy place to watch a game..

    Great place to watch soccer matches. Plenty of seating usually unless there are popular teams playing. Food is decent and prices for food and drinks are not exorbitant. Been here multiple times to watch matches when I'm in town. Service and servers have always been excellent.

    Nice play to watch sports and enjoy a cocktail or beer. The waitress was not the most attentive but things happen at times. Overall it was still a good experience.

    Ask for the McHale's Burger w/ cheddar cheese. As dessert Jameson and Baileys Cheesecake. A nice place to go after Broadway, but don't forget to book a table. Excellent service and very good prices.

    Good spot to watch football (soccer) games. I really enjoyed my first time there. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was great. A bit pricy but worth the experience if you’re a soccer fan

    Sat down at the bar open seat and waited between five-and-ten minutes for the bartender who spent the entire time speaking to another guest at the end of the bar. Even servers had to go behind the bar for help. I left without anyone greeting me.
