😠 If I could select a negative number of stars, I would. I went to this bar on St. Patrick’s Day thinking, hey, no better place than an Irish Pub to enjoy a Guinness on St. Pat’s. I was so wrong. We arrived at the bar at about 9:45, they closed at 11 that night. I was with a friend who was visiting me...

👍👍 I got delivery and this was the first time I’ve tried this restaurant. The corned beef sandwich was juicy and not dry. The chili reminded me of an Irish stew my auntie used to make when I was a kid. Overall a great meal with fond memories. Thank you for putting my faith back into local restaurants....
