How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
I have read a couple other reviews on this pub and I have to chuckle a little at some of the comments, one person even said it is not Irish enough. Pardon me if I seem a little defensive but I have been going to this pub for years. The person who created this pub could not be anymore Irish and even though Seamus is no longer the owner (he sold it to Frank his long time lead bartender several years ago) I can tell you it is still the same place. I have to admit it is not uncommon for there to be a lot of patrons that are not necessarily there for the pub aspect as they are just looking for a drink before or after an event downtown. That said the atmosphere has a lot of character being attached to a historic hotel, it has that vibe only an old building can have. There are even some fun urban myths that go along with it. Some people say the hotel is haunted and the pub is not immune from those rumors, just ask some of the women who have used the restroom upstairs. For some reason I don't know of anything being said about the men's room that's right across the hall. I have not heard anything too crazy I just think some women get themselves psyched out about the rumors before they even go up stairs. Ultimately this is one of my favorite pubs and it's also one of the best places to be on St. Patrick's Day when they close the street off in front of the pub. It is a surreal scene to see people partying at 8AM in the middle of the street in the heart of downtown Phoenix. I hope to see you all there. Slainte...Choose from:
