I visited today and had a wonderful experience. We ordered a pot of Irish tea, Scotch eggs, full Irish breakfast, and bread pudding. Everything was truly delicious.

I am still thinking about the Scotch eggs. The breading was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. The full Irish breakfast was also excellent. The black pudding and Irish sausage really stood out in particular.

To finish, we had the bread pudding, and the sauce was incredibly rich and full of depth without being overwhelming. It was the perfect ending to the meal.

The servers were warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I also really appreciated how clean and well maintained the place was. There was no lingering beer smell that you sometimes find in pubs, and I even noticed a staff member meticulously cleaning the windowsill. That level of attention to detail says a lot.

Overall, a fantastic experience. I will definitely be back.

Just enjoyed a wonderful dinner here at the pub. The wait staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the menu harkens back to authentic Irish classics. Started with a Guinness, of course, but all the mainstays were available, then onto a lovely Scotch Broth, and tge Dublin Curry with a side of cabbage. All very delicious, and every single morsel was devoured. Loved the Irish music playing over the speakers…just wish I was here to hear the live music bands. Perhaps on my next trip to Nashville.

12/12/2025 drove past this place and decided to turn around and give it a try. We sat upstairs where there was live music.

For starters we ordered the Scottish eggs which were delicious!!! For the main dishes we ordered fish and chips, potato soup, and bread pudding for dessert.
The fish and chips were delicious!! Perfectly cooked and it didn’t need any sauce!

The potato soup was tasty nothing overly exciting about it. The bread pudding was good but it needed more cinnamon in it was a little bland. Overall we were pleasantly surprised how good the food was!! Definitely worth a stop here for dinner!!

Very good, authentic Irish cuisine. I went at lunchtime a week before Christmas, party of 3 – seated quuckly. Service was good. Food was Awesome! We will be going back to try other dishes. Appetizer: Scotch Eggs, were Awesome!!! Bangers & Mash, sausages were very flavorable and the potatoes were seasoned excellently. Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake, and Chocolate Fudge Cake.

My husband and I loved the whole experience. Our waitress was actually from Ireland and with our ancestry there, it was a place that felt like home. The food was traditional, tasty and quickly served to us. Of course the Scottish eggs and Shepard pie was a hit! We shared these two items and it totally filled us up, with a drink. The shared Bread pudding out us over the top! We did get there at 5:00 pm and had no trouble getting a seat. By 6:00 the main dining room was full and I am sure there was a wait. We listened to a couple songs which was also traditional music, very entertaining. Then after dessert left to give our table up for the waiting familes to enjoy! We will be back, since we checked out the upstairs, it had a whole different vibe! We even found our name on the Ireland map of families!

As usual a completely wonderful experience. Such a hidden gem. Pro Tip – check the show schedule before going and show up 1 hour early to get a seat in the room with the stage. Its so worth whatever additional time you spend there. Great food and drinks, great vibe, so much fun. I’ve been there dozens and dozens of times and literally never been disappointed.

Very disappointing with such a high review rating. Ordered the chips and curry. Its potato chips with a curry dipping sauce. The sauce was unpleasant with cream in it and the curry taste was very light. Nothing like Ireland. The fish and chip had thick breading and small portion or square fish. The bread pudding was just like apple pie nothing like a bread pudding should be. Overall I give this place a 2.5 definitely not a 4.7

This place was recommended by a family member and when I saw that they actually had Irish cider on tap I was sold. Perfect place to get a warm comfort meal prior to a flight out of Nashville. The ambience of the pub is warm and inviting and the food kills. Definitely check this place out, we will for sure return.

Great pub. Live band was awesome, they had an Irish dancer too. Food was good, bartenders all nice. Was very packed at 5:30pm on a Saturday ( music started at 6*) so line for tables was out the door, but if it’s just 2-3 you can likely grab a seat at the bar downstairs or upstairs

Really enjoyed this Restaurant. The wife had a craving for a Corned Beef Rueban Sandwich. We found this restaurant on Google and figured we’d give it a try. We were not disappointed! They had a very reasonable lunch menu. A half sandwich and soup or salad was only $10. The size of the “half sandwich” was still plenty of sandwich and was very satisfying. Wife opted for the chili and I for the potatoe cream. Both were filling and tasty. Both meals, a side of fries to share and a few drinks was just over $40 AFTER tip. The atmosphere and ambiance is that of a traditional Irish pub. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the only thing lacking was the Gaelic accent. They really made you feel like they meant the motto over the door “Céad míle fáilte” with is Gaelic for “A thousand welcomes”
