Really nice layout and beautifully decorated! The wings were amazing and I would definitely go back for those, but not anything else.

We went today for lunch and they were absolutely packed. A huge wow for good quick service from what appeared to be be one waitress ( with one helping hand) who rocked it out. Friendly, fast efficient, when most others would have been overwhelmed. I wish I got her name to shout her out.

This review is based on my experience trying to book a birthday party for my husband’s 50th birthday with Russ. I inquired online and was impressed by the quick response and how they had party options ready to present. I actually liked the options but wanted to make a few changes, add more time and food options. I did not ask for a discount , I asked for a quote but the owner handles it as if I was asking for a deal saying “ the best I can do is”. I did not ask for the best he could do, I said “ name your price”.
Instead of the owner letting me know what he could or not do he completely shut me down and told me he can’t meet my needs. Here is the thing, I am very flexible, for example if he would have said minors have to pay the full price even if they don’t drink I would have paid it. I told him there where minors not looking to cut cost but making sure minors could attend. If he said there is a surcharge for having 30 minutes to decorate I would have paid it! Instead he decided that he didn’t to even have a dialogue.
As someone who owned a bar in New York City I completely understand that when request are difficult to meet or someone is trying to get a deal sometimes you should walk away from it. I was not trying to get a deal or demand anything special.
I just wanted to have extend my event 1 hour longer and have with time to decorate even if I had to pay for that decoration time.

The reason I am writing this review is because to me this type of rigidity is a sign ego and lack of emotional intelligence which is something every business owner should have. This to me signals that my event would have not been a success and I am glad the owner showed his true colors before I booked it.
I am sure this is a wonderful place, but I don’t support businesses that are so inflexible, specially in the food and service industry where every client has a different vision for their event. This tells me a lot about the values of this restaurant.
I can’t help but wonder if I had an Irish last name instead of a Spanish one if this would have made a difference?

They just re-opened a week ago and it’s much bigger and better!!! We were greeted by the owner Marc with a big smile and a handshake…Our server was Alex who was also as friendly!!! I had a burger and the fresh chips…it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!!! We also ordered the corned beef spring rolls which were delicious!!! I’m so mad at myself for not taking any pictures ‍♀️ ‍♀️ ‍♀️ This place is great!!! We back again and everything was great!!! Remembered to take a pic of the burger
We came back again tonight, July 5 and the place was very busy for a holiday weekend…I had to try the Shepherds Pie…it did not disappoint…very tasty and just the right ratio of meat and potatoe…I can’t wait until they start serving the martinis…I’ve added a pic of the pie

Unfortunately, my expectations were not met during this visit. The French onion soup had good flavor, but the onions weren’t cooked down enough, so the texture was off.

We also ordered the Reuben rolls as an appetizer, which were actually very good — light and not overwhelming in flavor.

The chicken pot pie was a huge disappointment. It came in a bowl with a puff pastry on top that felt stale and wasn’t really edible in my opinion.

The main reason we came was for the fish and chips, but the fish wasn’t seasoned at all, like not even salt

Overall, we were pretty disappointed and unfortunately won’t be coming back.

Such a great place to come with friends and have some fun. I love that everyone is socializing and the food is pretty good. I recommend the wings.

I so desperately wanted to go and try their food. I walked in and out since there was no parking anywhere. I was told to park in the municipal lot. I tried however it said only 10 minutes. Hopefully someone can let me know for next time where I can park and not get subjected to a ticket. Snow was still on the road so it was hard to reach the meter. Not sure if they have a parking app like New Brunswick where you can add on your phone extended time. Hopefully I can try this establishment before St Patrick’s Day!

So disappointed. The draft beer was flat. The burger was so bad. The bun was cold like it had just been taken out of the freezer. The meat had a weird smell, it had no flavor whatsoever but I couldn’t get past the smell, almost rancid smelling. Sorry to say I will not be returning. $80 for flat beer and bad meat no thanks.

Classic American/Irish pub experience experience. Large space, not a bunch of chair shoved into a small space. Gluten free cider on tap. And gluten free buns available for burgers.
