The food: I had The Blarney Sandwich (Rueben Sandwhich) and it was absolutely amazing. Good music, good food, good beer prices!! It looks like this is the place to be on game day. I went during the week. Drinks: affordable and the place to stop by. There's a lot of chain restaurants, ignore them. This is where you want to be. It was great service, great atmosphere and if you're visiting looking for a good authentic college bar to go to at Notre Dame, this is the place to be.

Overall, it was better bar food than I'm used to.

We needed a carry out box for the fries because the shared servings were large & yummy. Surprised that our water had no ice. I would definitely recommend for a change of pace & especially if needing vegan entrees. So few restaurants offer that. Prices were very reasonable too. Also good for meat lovers.

First I had some pastrami egg rolls that are surprisingly delicious. Crispy on the outside and flavorful on the interior. The shrimp were very average and didn't seem freshly battered there. The sauce however was tangy, spicy and a perfect match for the crunchy shrimp. Jalapeño poppers were the star of the night here. Spicy, cheesy, and they come with a rugged texture on the surface. Ranch dressing was thick perfecting for dipping. The brisket macaroni and cheese was a bitter sweet experience. The meat was shredded and flavored. It honestly tastes more like pulled pork butt. That part was delicious. However, the macaroni has NO flavor or seasoning whatsoever. There's no cheese pull or roux to be found. I would not order it again. Overall this is a very friendly bar in a small town. So far it's number 2 in this area.

I do understand that they serve specialty cocktails, so maybe that's why everything took so long and we were in a large group. However, when my drink was empty, the server took orders of the people sitting next to me at my table and then walked away without asking me if I wanted anything. I had to flag her down later for another drink, which I usually feel rude for doing.

We weren't greeted warmly, which normally wouldn't matter if the service and food made up for it. It didn't. After waiting quite a while just to get started, I even asked my sister if she wanted to leave. She said, "Not yet." After waiting even longer, I asked again, and she replied, "We're in too deep now." When our food finally arrived, my sister's meal had to be sent back. As the waitress walked away with it, I accidentally spilled what was left of my lemonade. The spill wasn't acknowledged by our waitress, and she never asked if I'd like another drink. Thankfully, another employee eventually helped clean up the mess and brought me a fresh lemonade. My sister's corrected meal sat ready for more than 10 minutes after we heard the kitchen bell before anyone brought it to our table. Because of the poor service, I left no tip and wrote "0.00" on the receipt. The waitress had also taken my credit card to the back to process the payment instead of running it where I could see it. Later, I realized my credit card was missing. I immediately called the restaurant and was told it wasn't there. I locked the card, and the following day multiple attempted charges were made on it. While I can't say for certain what happened, the timing was extremely concerning and left me with serious doubts about how my card was handled. I rarely leave negative reviews, but between the poor service, long waits, lack of attention, and what happened with my credit card afterward, I cannot recommend this restaurant or it's choice of Friday night live entertainment.
