Rated 5 out of 5 by Crystal H from The bartender was off the chain! He was amazingly attentive. Loved this place. Nachos are amazing and so were the fish and garlic chips (fries). Guinness Float so good!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ryan F from Food was very good. My husband said the fish and chips seemed to have too much breading, which lost the flavor. But my meal and the 3 kids' plates were delicious. We were short our $50 minimum by $0.70 and the waitress ordered us a cheap homemade fresh cookie with ice cream. It was Great!
