It makes me sad to write this review. We recently moved and have been scoping out the area to find the places that will become our regulars. We love a good drink/beer and a good meal and had been wanting to try this pub since it has good reviews. Sadly we left with a really bad impression. Our two bar tenders seemed nice but tired or not in a good mood(we visited on a Monday evening), one was new, she said she had been there a week a think. We ordered the angels Envy and the girl (Noemi I think) came back to say they didn't have the whiskey needed for the drink that they had this one other option... my husband said sure i'll take the one you do have. In the end we had an extra $13.00 dollar upcharge and we had no idea why. When we asked her she said it was bc of the rye she used on his drink, when we asked for the manager he immediately said it was bc she used a different wiskey or Rye... the manager (Mike i think) said Noemi the new bar tender) had told us. All she said was "they were out" of the one it comes with... (never did she say: IT WOULD BE EXTRA $13.00 dollars). The manager was so rude... he went back to adjust the price and threw.... literally THREW THE CECK AT MY HUSBAND. We have never had an experience like this. I was in shock. I still left a tip and we left but have been really thinking what to do because that behavior is unacceptable. Overall we just want people to know to watchout for staff like this. I don't know that i'll ever go back or maybe will just make sure those two bar tenders are not there if we do decide to enter this pub. The place is at a great location and has a cool vibe but being disrespected in the way these two did is...
Read moreWanted to go here and give it a 5 star, but unfortunately it just wasn't ment to be. Took my girl here.As a new Englander, I was very excited to try the fish and chips. She ordered the Shepards pie, we also went with the corn beef and cabbage rolls. The servers, we very friendly and took our order quickly. Food came out fast and fresh. The egg rolls were ok, we mainly ordered them because there wasn't regular corn beef and cabbage on the menu. The Shepards pie was excellent. The fish though, the fish....makes my heart hurt. I got about as much flavor from the fish as drinking a glass of water. It is hard to say it was bad, because it really didn't taste like anything. I've never had fish not taste or smell like anything it was super weird. So,.I figure, tartar sauce can save even the worst fish,.so I tried that. Now I am not sure if what they serve is supposed to be an Irish version of tartar sauce, but that is not tartar sauce. It was ranch with too much dill in it. Awful, you don't dip fish in ranch. It was awful. Then it took so long to get a server to even get our check that my girlfriend got impatient and went to the car, as I waited for the check. Decent experience. Love the vibe of the bar, will go again, will not...ever, ever order the fish and chips again. And you would do well not to also. Definitely go Definitely avoid the fish
Quick side note the chips were awesome. But the coleslaw was bland.
Also double check your receipts, looks like they attempted to over charge me twice. I don't think this was done maliciously, it looks to be more...
Read moreSon and I are desperately looking for a great fish and chips. We decided to make the 30 minute drive here since the menu had some authentic looking dishes. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Vibe is a little trendy since it’s close to Dallas, but nothing over the top. Tried a local “Irish” ale which was decent. I had the full Irish breakfast. Everything came out hot. Blood and white pudding was really good. Bangers were hot and super tasty. Beans and toast was fresh. Mushrooms added a great addition and the hash browns crisp. Much better experience than I recently had at the Holy Grail which was awful. My son had the half order of fish and chips. Big portion of cod which was fresh. The batter was crisp in some places and soggy in others. We asked for a side of curry for the chips. Curry was a little sweet and a bit over powering on the herbs but good. Chips were cut like you’d see them across the pond. Standard chips. Appetizer was spicy cheese curds. Lots of flavor and spicy. I liked them. Son liked them somewhat. I’ll definitely come back to try the shepherds pie and Pub Chicken Curry. Again, super friendly staff. Would have liked to see more imported beers on draft or in the bottle. That seems to be slowly going away in the DFW area. Too much local craft beers that aren’t as good. That’s a minor complaint. Otherwise, check...
