My wife and I love it here. We come here almost every week, sometimes with our 4 year old (who loves it too). We've been here for brunch, dinner, beer, cocktails, coffee, pretty much all of it, and all of it interesting, a little different from your average pub, and excellent. It's elevated without being formal, interesting without being pretentious, and they guys who run it are extremely thoughtful with the food and drinks on their menu. They are also just good dudes.
We usually get one evening a week to do something for ourselves, and we always end up here because we can't think of a better place to relax and treat ourselves a little without breaking the bank.

After all, I miss the complimentary buckets of potato chips and French fries that Dublin's Pass Irish Pub served in the 2010s. Those made really...

They are bringing back original beer styles but in a fresh way, without the ridiculous blends or obnoxious flavors that seem to be so common anymore. And the food!
