Friday lunch burger special was great! Fries were also delicious. Service was excellent during this visit. The food seems generally good for bar fare.
St Patrick’s day service was poor. I know it’ll take some time to work out schedules as you gauge the flow of business but you should have more than one staff member for bar and serving on St. Patrick’s day evening. Staff should also write orders down. So many things were forgotten or wrong all around for multiple tables. Patrons were helping the bartender try to manage the number of visitors. Management offered to comp drinks and definitely tried to make it right.
Taps stopped working during two of our visits so far and the women’s bathroom is still broken post renovation. Please fix it. I’m very confused what changed since it closed because it seems to have the same everything. It’d also help to get some tvs going for sports.
I’m hoping the owners read these and actually work on this stuff because we need a place like this. We’ll give them another chance but they desperately need to address all of these issues if they are going to...
Read moreReopened under new ownership after being closed for several years and after our visit it should have stayed closed at least another month to do some updating. Soda lines not working after being down several years so soda for cocktails and drinks all coming from cans, which makes all of that more expensive. Really nice large space but exposed electrical sockets in some places, ceiling tiles missing, bathroom no soap and garbage on/in sink, same glassware/furniture. After spending 1.4million on a place, you would think spending maybe another $60-$100K for fresh paint, carpet, complete cleaning, minor repairs would have been in your budget. That definitely would have made a huge difference. Staff was very friendly but the owner/manager was at the bar "helping" but couldn't make a drink or run the register. Also, a bar tender should never be wiping their nose bare handed and then proceed to grab glasses to make a drink 🤮.
The area definitely needs a place like this, so hopefully, it'll work...

We were able to visit on opening night and enjoyed reminiscing over our past visits to the pub. Offering pizzas, burgers, handhelds and apps, it has truly become a full service restaurant. Our pizza came out surprisingly turn apart. Pieces were laying backwards, on top of one another, and some ripped in half—as though someone had dropped the platter. One slice was entirely missing its crust, ripped completely off and nowhere in sight.
Unfortunately, we were also served and charged for beers with large floating sediment. The beer tasted metallic and was clearly being served from unclean lines. Yes, it’s a little cheaper than the brewery across the street, but how much is your health worth to you?
Hopefully the quality can improve, because the concept and...
