In all honesty, I was not aware of this spot at all but I knew POST across the street so the area was at least familiar to me. The vibe is very casual, kind of a sport bar meets karaoke/live music dive with good burgers and cheap beer. I didn't stick around long since I got there late but I enjoyed my time there.

The walls are packed with sports memorabilia and local history, which made for a fun and interesting experience while we waited for our food. Their "Best Burger" awards are well deserved! All three of us took advantage of their burger special, making it a very affordable lunch -- which is a welcome surprise these days when everything seems so expensive. The onion rings deserve an award of their own: the thickest, juiciest onion rings I've ever had, perfectly tender inside with golden brown, crispy breading. We all built our own burgers. I went with Roquefort cheese and bacon -- absolutely delicious! My burger was cooked to order, super juicy, and full of flavor. I wish I remembered the name of our server because she was outstanding -- attentive, friendly, and always made sure our glasses were full. I'm so glad I finally got the chance to try Irish Coffee Bar & Grill. I'll definitely be back!

Dear Kathleen, I hope this message finds you well. As a fellow patron who observed your group during your visit, I feel compelled to share my perspective on the events that transpired. Throughout the evening, your table exhibited a level of noise and disruption that was quite unsettling. Despite the bar staff politely requesting on three separate occasions for you to lower your voices, the atmosphere remained quite chaotic, particularly before 7 p.m. It was evident that your group had consumed an excessive amount of alcohol, which significantly impacted the experience of other guests in the bar. I was particularly concerned when my 12-year-old daughter remarked on the rudeness of your behavior. When approached by the staff, your responses were not only dismissive but also included derogatory comments towards the employees, which my daughter found very troubling. It was disheartening to witness such a lack of respect for those who were working hard to provide a pleasant environment. Moreover, one member of your group appeared to be struggling to maintain composure, further contributing to the uncomfortable atmosphere. I believe it's important to recognize that your behavior was disruptive not only to fellow patrons but also to the children present, including five young ones under the age of 13. I urge you to reflect on this experience. The financial means you may possess do not equate to class or respect for others. If this is how one chooses to conduct themselves, it may be worthwhile to consider seeking professional help or support regarding your relationship with alcohol. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it provides a different perspective on the evening's events. Sincerely, The woman sitting in the table next to you! read more

I had an amazing experience at the Old Pony! Bartenders are exceptional. Not only did they craft some of the best cocktails I've had in a long time, but they also created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made everyone feel at home, and their knowledge of drinks was impressive. If you're looking for great vibes, incredible drinks, delicious food, and top-notch service. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for an unforgettable evening! read more

Horrible guest services to people that are actually in the industry. They have no reason to be cocky. Shit it's just gross Pointe. Try serving/bartending in West Hollywood, California! When you actually serving famous people with real money. Not the house that you grew up in and can't sell it because your great grandparents said it in their will. Get over yourselves and try and get a job in a top ten city. You wouldn't last a week. read more
