Great service with friendly staff. The beer battered zucchini and BBQ pulled pork mac and cheese are solid choices if you can't figure out what you want. Also, bacon butter.

A gem. Ribs are award winning. Best Shepard's pie in the area. Menu varies from typical Irish to continental. Huge beer list much of it on tap. Deserts are incredible. Great service too.

This Irish bistro serves modern food. Guinness is in the onion–and–white cheddar soup, beef stew and the mac and cheese served alongside barbecue ribs. Also stop by for a great Irish whiskey. Read more

Great bar atmosphere to sip a pint of the black stuff. They have Murphy's in addition to Guinness too.

Enjoying the chicken & rice soup on this fine snowy evening. The chicken tenders with creamy honey mustard are great for sharing!

Soda bread? Black-and-white pudding? Not so much. Here Guinness isn’t just on the epic beer list, but also in a onion–and–white cheddar soup and even in the mac and cheese served with barbecue ribs. Read more

Their ribs are famous and worth trying. Make sure to get a pint of their house beer too.

For an Irish pub, I expected better Irish Coffee. It's the lazy version. The fact that it's filled to the brim it was impossible to add the sugar without anything spilling over.

Guinness macaroni and cheese bites...With a goat cheese dipping sauce? SOOO YUMMY!

Great Mac n Cheese, great Ribs, great Bread Pudding

Great location for a large group. I don’t like any of the food.

Soda bread? Black-and-white pudding? Not so much. This Irish bistro serves food you’d find in modern-day Dublin, which means Guinness isn’t just on the epic beer list. Read more

Elizabeth TowleMarch 12, 2011
This place seems to have the best brunch to prepare for a day of drinking or to recover from one. No light lunches here.
