Stonechat keeps the aesthetic of an old Irish Pub while delivering top quality food and drink.

We had dinner for two. The chowder, wings, lamb shank and burger. We decided not to go with a desert as we were already full.

The food service was great. There was good chemistry with the staff they seemed to have the craic while getting the job done. We felt comfortable like being at a mates house. Special thanks to a curly haired man who was serving us for the night and a moustached bartender who made us excellent cocktails. We ordered a whiskey sour and a non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri.

The food itself was excellent very wholesome food that would keep you filled for the whole day. Zero complaints.
