If you like Irish food this a great option. The walleye bites and the dill pickles app were great. The big mick was an excellent choice. The max & cheese was really good with the peppers and onions in it. I got the bacon too which really made it pop. The fish and chips are a solid choice. Nice big chunks of cod. The hunters chicken was good, but note the gnocchi had a curry sauce on it. Lots of other options too, like nice salads.
Good tap list and lots of good cocktails. The Pen Pal was very tasty. Also there are great N/A options with non-alc mocktails and wines, etc
The staff was very good, and the server was generally good, though we had a bit of a wait (longer than usual) between our apps and the main dishes. Just a tad longer than expected is all.
Solid option for Irish fare!

Quick and friendly service. My son LOVED his burger. Their take on a Big Mac. I got the fish and chips. They were decent, not great. Any part of the breading that touched the plate was soggy before I was able to eat it. We all enjoyed the malted fries.
Would come back for burgers for sure.

This place is alright, but it isn’t a restaurant I think I need to come to again. Maybe it is fabulous if you get drinks, but we didn’t.
Service was good, seating was fast. Outdoor patio is fun, but loud.
The cheesecurds were so dark it made me wonder when the last time the oil has been changed – or maybe that is just how they are. They came out hot. Not sure why they have pretzel in name- seemed to be basic breading. Flavor was ok.
Burger was underwhelming, a bit dry, with a distinct taste. Either that distinct taste is a purposeful attempt at imparting a grilled flavor, or it was cooked on a surface that hasn’t been cleaned for quite some time.
Food seemed to be delivered promptly and fries were hot.
Overall, food didn’t suit my preferences, especially for the price.

Solid dining experience. Didn’t feel much like an “Irish Pub” though. Space is very large and could really take on any theme it wanted with little difficulty. Not much interaction with staff although our hostess was an absolute rock star when we were late for our reservation. Our server was also good, but the whole experience lacked that personal, familial feel you look for in a traditional Irish Pub. That being said, food was good, drinks were very well put together, although a deeper whiskey list could help with the Pub vibes. You won’t be disappointed visiting, but you won’t be wowed either.

This BLT was delicious. I was skeptical at first but they really knocked it out of the park. The wait staff was friendly and the vibes were great. I’ll have to try this again.

The food was alright – the reason I give 3 is we waited for a little over an hour for some just alright food on a Friday where the restaurant wasn’t even that packed. It couldve just been an off day as well. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the servers/hosts were super nice. I’ll be back again to try some more of the stuff they offer as it is a fun spot and I want to like it more.

Irish pub with a contemporary vibe. The fish and chips are good. Maybe pass on the egg rolls. The Whisky Wednesday tasting menu was a good value. I also liked the authenticity of the place. Emmett was a real person whose picture is on the wall. I’ll probably come again.

Went there for dinner last night. Everything was great- attentive host and service, great food, super diligent about checking food allergy concerns…. The restaurant was pretty full the whole time as well and everyone around us seems to be having a good experience as well.

Nice spot for the Irish flare. The corned beef and cabbage was delicious. I didn’t care for the scotch eggs and they were not cheap. The egg rolls though, FANTASTIC! It was a little busy but I think they were short staffed because my water ran empty several times and I had to ask for more water multiple times.

I had a first date here on a Friday evening. Fortunately, I’d made reservations for 6:30pm because it was pretty packed. The whole Grand business area was busy.
Our server was very nice and attentive. She earned her $40 tip on my $180 bill. We ordered at least 3 rounds of drinks and had 2 apps and 3 entrées. (The date was going really well.)
I had the Bangers and Croquettes for my entrée. The food was prepared well. The texture of my croquettes was perfect. The meal was a little bland for my palate, but that’s the traditional preparation, I’m sure.
My date enjoyed her Irish Mac and Cheese with bacon. I ordered my own Mac and Cheese with corned beef to go.
We shared Walleye Bites and Reuben Eggrolls as appetizers. Both were good.
Oh yeah, the music was great. I kept Googling songs that were being played.
Get there early because finding a parking spot is a challenge. After driving around for about 10 minutes, I ended up parking 3 blocks up away from the businesses.
Yes, there will be a second date……..
