And that won't even be the most reviews I've ever written in a year!

If you have…read moreever been to Ireland you'll know that the sketchier a pub looks on the outside the better it is inside. This hold true here. Plain brick front, doors with multiple locks on them. But, inside you'll find a warm friendly bar, a basic restaurant area off to the side, very friendly staff and excellent food. You can sit and enjoy a fresh poured Irish beer out of a tap, excellent Irish pub food all while browsing through one of the Irish books on a shelf in the restaurant. Since we only live 90 minutes away from here we will definitely be back now we have found this place.

Some Saturday's they grill or have food, that's nice. They play music when the juke box isn't running so it's not all quiet.
