Maybe this rating is a bit harsh. It wasn't that bad. But, I also think that we have ALL been to more authentic pubs which were more comfortable, and offered better fare than this location. I want to give a third star, but, I cannot because it would be misleading when you consider other places that I have given a three star rating. After three visits, here is what I will say and why I am leaving it at two...:-( 1. If you decide to be daring and offer a stilton based boule for a starter...PLEASE ADD STILTON. It cannot be cream cheese with a few crumbs of stilton because those who really love stilton are going to be ordering it JUST for that strong odor and taste. Don't cheat. 2. Two of the three times I visited, you were out of rice for your curry dish. REALLY? Poor planning. And, it is VERY hard for me to give marks on an Irish Pub without tasting its curry. Sadness. 3. Service with a smile. Not a snarl. And although my heavily tattooed server was pleasant with us, she really must have been having a bad night on one of my visits where she had to basically ignore a small group having a birthday because she voiced that they were too " needy". It's their birthday! And they were born in May. One should anticipate some neediness. 4. I have to give you props for the mini yorkshire puddings but technically those are not irish. They are northern England. Hence the name? But they are good. 5. Fisherman's Chowder needs to be less gelatinous and more fishy. You don't need to have corn starch added to the broth. Was this done to once again spread this out and save on fish? Not sure but it was not a winner. It was just not right. 6. The Steak and Mushroom Crock: just ok. Got it twice and found it very salty. I keep wanting to give the place another go. Here's why. I like that there is an attempt to have live music on the weekends. And the spirit of the Irish sing a long is alive there. So, if we can just get some of the food items worked out and some of the people to love their jobs... it could be better. I just know it can. Please?
