text: The decor is really great There are quite a few different places to sit they have a bar tables with stools a few booths that have really private alcoves and then different seating areas with bench type seats and regular chairs for groups There is also some outdoor seating and they are prepared for the winter chills with upright heaters They have live music pretty regularly There is or was not sure a oneman band called Finnegans Wake The last band I saw did some pretty cool Van Morrison and Flogging Molly coversnnI know it is blasphemy not to drink at Irish pub but I do not drink at all so I cannot really rate the drinks I have heard from friends that the Guinness on tap is good and that the Irish Coffee was ok They have these Bit of Beers which run about and have a sampler of I think it was beers There are kinds but the beers listed are all you can get as in you cannot substitute anything They have similar offerings for whiskey and there is always a beer on special for a pintnnI like to start with the chips They are homemade and come with two different sauces The rosemary is my favorite but the curry is not bad either They have Irish nachos but it is basically just nachos with potato chips instead of tortilla chips Ground beef cheese and potato are Irish staples which could be had in better waysnnIn the winter my favorite dish is the Beef and Guinness Stew Unfortunately it is seasonal so it is not currently being offered It is a saucy stew obviously and has tender vegetables and of course of course potatonnIf you are not sure of what to get they have a dinner entree called Aon Do Tri which if you say it out loud is One Two Three with an Irish accent That is a sampler with Corned Beef and Cabbage Diddys Irish Stew and Shepherds Pie Quite good with the exception of the Irish Stew which I found to be a bit bland nnI enjoy the fish and chips make sure you ask for the Heinz Malt Vinegar on the side Crispy fish and crispy french fries I have been meaning to try the Reuben but it comes with an onion relish or something like that and you know how I feel about onionsnnMy friend had a slice of chocolate cake for dessert on her birthday and that was rich decadent and delicious nnThe reason it does not get a is because of the service The servers are nice and orders come out correctly but sometimes it can be insanely slow I have been on nights where it was not so crowded and I have been on nights where walking through the crowd I could not tell if it was really that packed or I was getting groped Although it does not happen every time there are occasions regardless of crowd where a meal has taken an insanely long time I do not mind because I go with friends and we have no problems chit chatting but if I was in a hurry or less easy going it would be frustrating My last experience I made a reservation at least a week prior for for a birthday party and came to find out when we arrived one of our tables had been given away We did not actually get seated until they put us outside to sit and wait where it was pretty hot Who I assume is the owner came out and apologized but nothing was really done to compensate the appetizers we ordered did not get there until almost and the food took forever to come out once it was ordered I will assume it is because it was packed and a Friday night but jeez the wait was really something else I will continue to go here when the Irish food craving bites me but I will make sure not to go on a Friday night I shudder to think about the wait times on St Pattys Day
