“ Love this old school dive-like bar on Park Ave. Go before a rent increase and another small business goes under! ”
“ Solid place all around. Prices are great, staff is great, food and drinks are great - you can't really go wrong here. Has a very cool authentic Irish pub vibe (most of the people who work here are from Ireland). ”
“ I performed there with a band on Saturday night and was pleased to find a hospitable, laid-back venue with an excellent soundman named Gerry and fantastic nachos (currently my death row last meal of choice). Five stars! ”
“ This a old school spot. Great Cheese Burger Onion Rings freshly made.Batter dipped shrimp too. NICE SELECTION OF BEER Nice people and great staff . It was a watering spot for him. ”
“ Hate the music. The only other guy I saw performing there other than me ; ) there was some hippy rock star guy who seemed to cool for me to see as I followed nervously for the first time in 20 years. Great traditional pub still delivering the live music as a treat to all who escape here to get out of the cold, emerge from the heat, or tally a knocker of suds in the midst of the between. ”
“ This bar was so great. There is a giant step outside (about 5 inches) and I was able to step up and fit with my walker. There was another amputee using a wheelchair, that came in later on, so that makes me think there's a ramp. The bathroom ... ”
“ An old traditional Irish pub - almost the only place with live music. Few international music stars were born here. The place has good old traditional vibes and fast and friendly staff. ”
“ Chill spot to watch the game and hear some heady tunes. ”
