Once reasonable pub, gone downhill!!

by spiceisnice

Went there in 2006 and didn't seem to be a bad place, but revisited again in 2009, what a dissapointment. Food & beer is a let down. The staff are bad mannered and rough. I guess theres a recession and maybe they find it hard to get good employees, or, maybe they don't care as long as theres a stream of kids going in there believing they're in a real Irish pub? I looked at some of the food being served and decided against it. Never again.

• Pros: Errr, none!
• Cons: College kids, rough servers.

College Bar with an Irish Name

by FloridaRobert

This is NOT an Irish Pub. It is a beat up College bar with the stench of regurgitated beer that may - in the past - have been a Pub. My bangers were microwaved sausages. The guiness, must have come out of a bottle, and old one. Ugh.. I understand that many Pubs are beat up, but this is nuts... She may have been a pretty girl in the past, but all the 'mileage' has destroyed her. Stay away.. Unless it is Friday night you are too drunk to care about the food and are interested in picking up drunk 22 year old 'ladies'... Then by all means...

• Pros: Friday night meat market
• Cons: regurgitaded beer stench

What a let-down

by AMcD1098

I know it near Saint Patricks day and therefore, I don't expect the same quality from any Irish Pub as far as their drink or food is concerned due to the large amount of business that is gererated at this time of year. But for a Sunday early afternoon I do expect food that is semi-decent.

1. Guinness should not be served in a plastic cup (sorry I am from Dublin, you just dont serve it that way)

Now I understand that there was a band playing outside and the management was most likely concerned that some lad would get a little drunk and hurt himself, but I am sitting in a half empty Bar before 6pm at least tell your customers that if you want a glass you can't take it out side.

2. The food, and this is my main problem, I ordered corned beef and cabbage-- if you could call it that.

Has anyone ever eatien beef jerky, well that what this resturant bar would be better off using for their corned beef and forget about the cabbage, maybe they need to advertise for a cook or new supplier of food, on a good point the mashed potatos were not bad.

End note: I will stick with the Four Green Fields or O'brien for a pint and some grub, I will also try the Dubliner but this place,no thanks.

100% Irish

• Pros: interior and their mashed potatoes
• Cons: food and guinness in a plastic cup (Gasp!!!)
