    Last night I went here to get some St. Patty's Day grub. The place was decorated for the spirit of the Irish holiday with even there being Irish music playing. Server/bartender was friendly and she had some really cool noticeable tattoos.

    I feel dumb after knowing this establishment has been open for so long, living in the area, and never trying it. I thought there was a sign outside with their name on it, but there's nothing there so if you aren't looking for it you will pass right by it. It almost feels like an underground bar because when you first enter it looks like a typical corner bar. The staff was very pleasant and asked if we been there before after we looked lost after they told us to sit where we want. We were asked if we wanted to sit in or outside. We went outside the main bar to an air conditioned side area the through doors to the yard. You would never know this beautiful space was there unless you go back there. There's a separate bar, tons of seats, big screen TVs, and games. For food, we got a personal hot Italian sausage red pizza, a large plain red pie, and hot honey wings. Everything was delicious. If you are a fan of Santucci's (philomela's that is, not the other side of that family) you will love this pizza. I'd say due to the crispy crust this pizza has the edge over santuccis. The sauce tastes fresh and is very cheese. Can't wait to try the other pies. The wings were also very delicious. The sauce was almost like a glaze, not too dry and not soaking wet. You could taste the sweet heat in each bite. The size of the wings were also on point (given the current climate with chicken it's hit or miss with wings these days). I can't wait to go back and hope becoming a loyal customer will scratch the surface at making up for my ignorance in never trying this awesome establishment

    Great spot for some drinking and casual dining. Big space in the back. They have a band every now and then and it's cool. Not too loud.

    I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

I'm not sure how accountable this review will be, as I did take out not stayed. They were having happy hour but it didn't count for me as I was take out I guess. I got the mozzarella sticks were bomb with the sauce and I got the creamy Mac and cheese. I was excited for the Mac and cheese because I had one last night that was amazing from somewhere else. I got back to my hotel my second but I found a hair. Like a fatty I threw it to the side and kept eating it anyways. Unlike a true fatty, I didn't finish it. So unholy for a Mac and cheese lover like myself... but it was too acidic for me. I couldn't keep eating it. So I'm basing this review solely on the food. The service seemed ok? They seemed nice, but can't judge that as I did take out.

    We came here around 11am before a matinee and didn't realize we wouldn't be able to get a table…read more We were very lucky to get bar seats that were around the corner of the bar. This way it was easy for our group to talk. I saw someone else drinking a drink that looked really good so I just ordered that without looking at the menu. It was in a champagne glass and had an orange peel in it. This drink was delish and I would order it again. I ordered the caesar w salmon. The salad itself was fine but the dressing didn't taste at all like caesar dressing. I still ate the whole thing - but just didn't love the dressing.

Reviewers rated Moriarty's short ribs highly, and though I hesitated to order risotto take out, I want for it. Sorry, no pics but trust ne when I say it was delish! The portions were great (there were a few spears of asparagus) and the lukewarm risotto (expected considering it was delivered) was creamy and flavorful. There was a but more oil than I would have liked floating at the bottom, and the sauce was a bit salty, but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the super tender morsels of beef. I look forward to trying something else on the menu soon.
