I really wanted to like this place but something one of the servers said, really put me off and…read morereminded me of why we stick to playing darts in town. My friends and I came here last night for a birthday celebration, for some snacks, drinks, and darts. We were having a good time, until we were told that we needed to end our dart game early because the machines closed at 8pm. I was surprised and never came across an Irish pub turning off their dart machines before a kids bedtime. It's not like the bar was closing or doing last calls. It wasn't really a busy night but wasn't dead either. Guess there's a first for everything. Most importantly, WE WERE NEVER TOLD about this and we were there playing for maybe a couple hours?? (ALSO... It would've been nice to know before we put money in the machine.) I explained to the server that we weren't told about the dart machines & if there's a way for us to get our money back. Her response was: If it'll make you FEEL better. Wth... no girl, it's not about my feelings, good grief, let's not get Oprah about this, mmmkay? It's about what's RIGHT. We eventually got our money back but not before I caught the eyeroll, which was the cherry to this one and only time experience here. What stink attitude. If we knew the rules, no problem but to make us feel weird about it when we're out here celebrating? Debbie downer much?

JJ Niebuhr is formerly the "JJ" in what used to be JJ Dolan's up on Bethel a couple blocks up from…read moreBlack Shamrock...now known simply as J Dolan's, and still owned by JJ's former business partner, Danny Dolan. JJ was also the mastermind behind Dolan's famous pizza...the hook they devised to distinguish their Irish pub from that of their former boss and fellow Irishman, Don Murphy, owner of Murphy's across the street from Black Shamrock. When an opportunity to take over the former O'Toole's location opened up, JJ jumped at the chance, and split from Dolan's to hang his own shingle, now known as Black Shamrock. JJ bought his pizza expertise with him, and in my opinion, is now the best pie in town...plus his Duck drumsticks can't be missed, which aren't available at Dolan's. JJ, Danny Dolan, and Don Murphy are all still friends, so have no worries, Chinatown is still the place to go for St. Patrick's day because they're still joining together to sponsor the annual festivities...and of course Murphy's is still the place to go if you're looking for Corned Beef or Shepherd's Pie downed with Guinness...but if it's a New York slice you're looking for, there's no need to go up to Bethel anymore, just stumble across the street to Black Shamrock.

We just wanted something low key, and searching for a bar, the Black Shamrock came up. It's in the old space that housed O'Tooles. I had never been, because it looked too seedy...LOL! The Shamrock is a welcomed change to a really cool space. What a great place to come to! They have really opened the space up and it's much brighter and inviting. The bartenders are friendly and make some really good drinks! We also spoke to the owners and it was fun to hear the story behind the purchase and renovations of the bar. They also have a signature drink, Lucky Shamrock? Soooo good! Anyways, we now have a new place to meet up at. Can't wait for the kitchen to open! Mahalo Black Shamrock!

If you are looking for classic comfort food, the open-faced turkey sandwich at Murphy's is an…read moreabsolute home run. Every element on the plate was done right. The turkey was exceptionally tender, flavorful, and covered in a rich, savory gravy that soaked into the soft bread and paired perfectly with the creamy mashed potatoes. The sides were excellent too. The roasted vegetables were served warm and soft, but still had just enough slight crunch to keep the texture fresh. The cranberry sauce was the perfect sweet-tart contrast and helped balance the richness of the gravy. It was a satisfying, well-rounded plate from start to finish.

I was celebrating a positive resolution to a big problem so I had myself a "Snakebite" (Guiness & hard cider). For desert we had their yummy Pot de Crème, hot Apple Crisp and a chocolate sundae, No leftovers!!! Always a good sign. Love Murphy's.

I made reservations for 5:45 PM however when I checked in at Pint and Jigger, I was notified that the reservations were for P&J and not the speakeasy which opens at 6 PM. Therefore I believe that there are still kinks to be made with their reservation system. We waited at the bar until it was sorted out. You walk through a whiskey wall and walk upstairs to the speakeasy. They used a lot of the decor from the former location known as Harry's Emporium. We were the only ones for about an hour so we were able to maximize the bartender's time. Max is an excellent bartender and informed us that they are only open on the weekends for now. He's the only bartender and they are still working out staffing issues. No food at the moment. The theme is New Orleans/French. The drinks and music all have that vibe. The room is dim but not too dark. We left around 7:30 PM when two other couples showed up. We will definitely be returning.

The business crowd from the nearby offices seem to be regulars, which is great. The bartenders are really friendly attentive! Great prices. Nice wine options.
