Incredible ambiance both with how the bar was decorated and with its soft bossa and jazz music. Me and my company had a lovley visit despite only popping in for one drink. Bartender was fantastic, very friendly and approachable. Made very nice drinks, including a local one with the only instruction being what flavour I liked. Would love to come back if I had the chance😊

Visited recently. No Guinness at an IRISH PUB! 🙄.Bartender had zero personality. Pretty much had her back turned away from us the entire time. The music was at a good level and then for whatever reason she just cranks it up at a very unnecessary level. There were 4 ppl in there...not exactly the atmosphere for night club level music. And the Ambroise Stout was CLEARLY off or old because I felt like I was drinking a sour beer. Left mine 3/4 full. Hubby drank his and felt sick for the rest of the evening. So $25 later for 2 terrible beers. Not sure how this place has a 4.6

Fantastic atmosphere and super friendly male bartender. He was a powerhouse! Handled the crowd on his own very well, made great drinks, and a mean toasty. We enjoyed the vibes and thank you for the recommendations for our East Coast Roadtrip

We stopped in for a pint of beer and a whiskey, which was 50% off on Tuesdays. Great service, relaxed atmosphere, and we sat in the back terrace, which was fantastic. I saw that they have live music on the weekends as well.

Guiness served in a generic soda type pint glass. There is nothing Irish about this bar either. I asked for a guiness glass, the hairy barman says “I don’t have any”.. Fail

Lovely live music. There was a talented guitariste that had good energy and interacted well with the audience. People were dancing and/ or sitting chatting. Cute bar.

One of the best bars around, nice and quiet, service was quick. It's a small place and does get crowded. The staff kept up even on New Year's. What a experience!
