Liam CleaverApril 6, 2013On a warm day wind your way up stairs to upstairs bar with outside patio. Just a few seats, great vantage onto King Street and the hustle and bustle of Old Town.
Don WilcoxJuly 19, 2018Outstanding food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend Irish Egg Rolls, the Bangers & Mash, Shepherd’s Pie, Fish & Chips, & more!
Rayshawn WilliamsMay 27, 2016The Irish egg roles is a cool spin on corned beef and cabbage. The wonton wrap and the dubliner cheddar cheese taste awesome with the corned beef and cabbage.
Paulina LeonovichNovember 8, 2014Best cheese platter i 've tried in the US so far.. I like the interior and sink in the restroom ;)
Caitlin LawlerMarch 3, 2016Lots of seating, including a little outdoor patio upstairs that's nice for brunch. Since it's an Irish pub, it's good to go with the full Irish breakfast
Ch8rylApril 13, 2014Great service, fun atmosphere, hit or miss food with certain items. Appears that burgers turn out consistently well, but not so much for other entrees such as the chicken casserole and fish & chips.
Simone MainiOctober 6, 2013Great service - attentive, fast and with a smile. Nice rooftop patio. Tasty burger and ok pancakes - what we needed to power us back to DC via bike.
James FlorCruzDecember 5, 2011The prime rib sliders were aiight. The muscles on the other hand were faaaaaantastic. Paul was our server/bartender. Awesome guy. And omg a wonderful Irish whiskey selection.- Hamed Negron-PerezSeptember 7, 2013Scotch eggs, bangers and mash and Irish egg rolls are a must. They're excellent.
- DR GOctober 3, 2015Love this pub but stick to the Irish food (which is good).There's a reason Dublin isn't famous for nachos.
Tim SNovember 22, 2013Ask for the fire place table very cool... lots of beer to choose from. And guiness of course.
L. Ray VerschuylDecember 5, 2014Open fire place - great old world charm. Great variety of seasonal beers.
Robert OsterbergSeptember 8, 2015How can an Irish Pub run out of corned beef??? Food was good-not great but good! Waiter was personable and nice.
Mac SparrowJanuary 10, 2014A good portion of the bar's adornments comes directly from Ireland! Owners had parts of buildings shipped to VA.
Live traditional music on Monday evenings next to the main fireplace! (Good tunes - not the hokey stuff.)
Ali Woods WilsonAugust 1, 2012The Irish Egg Rolls are to die for!! So good. Corned beef, cheddar, cabbage, rolled and fried together. Oh ma gawd!!- Ch8rylMay 7, 2014Fun atmosphere and good service. Seems like standard pub fare rolls out consistently well, such as burgers. The other food was hit or miss, but I'd still return.
Allen MeachamSeptember 25, 2013From PBR "tall boys" to Jameson 15 year! All around great place on any budget
- Bob GossenbergerAugust 4, 2018Shepherd’s pie was very good .. Reuben was also good ... Onion rings not so good - sort of burned. Music was decent but way too loud! Couldn’t hear the people sitting next to me ...
JWOctober 19, 2011I learned that "snake bites" are an American creation, but, they make great ones! Make sure to order it "dark."
- Jessica RenshawSeptember 28, 2013I paid $25 for a 12oz ribeye that I ordered medium, but it came welldone in the middle and med rare on the edges. Overall not bad but expected better for the price and the (somewhat) limited menu.
Travis DeplitchJuly 14, 2011Guinness Cheeseburger is amazing. Plus they have "Build your own Smores"
Maria CJanuary 31, 2012Listen to what others are saying.....the cheddar burger was absolutely amazing!
John LuekerApril 8, 2013Fish, chips, and Smithwicks... If you like pubs it doesn't get much better than this.
Dayna RowdenApril 23, 2011Try the fried bangers and Guiness Cheeseburger. The bangers are not always on the menu. Ask for the.
Ann MAugust 17, 2010S'mores are fun to share for dessert! The blueberry bread pudding was also amaaaazing.
BBC AMERICAFebruary 4, 2011The pub has 4 fireplaces and 6 Nations Rugby Championship matches on the TVs. Brilliant.
Adam JohnsonDecember 29, 2010Guinness cheese burger was outstanding! Served on a bed of mash and gravy.
