On a warm day wind your way up stairs to upstairs bar with outside patio . Just a few seats, great vantage onto King Street and the hustle and bustle of Old Town .

Don Wilcox

Outstanding food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend Irish Egg Rolls , the Bangers & Mash , Shepherd’s Pie , Fish & Chips , & more!

Rayshawn Williams

The Irish egg roles is a cool spin on corned beef and cabbage . The wonton wrap and the dubliner cheddar cheese taste awesome with the corned beef and cabbage .

Ch8ryl

Great service, fun atmosphere , hit or miss food with certain items. Appears that burgers turn out consistently well , but not so much for other entrees such as the chicken casserole and fish & chips .

Paulina Leonovich

Best cheese platter i 've tried in the US so far.. I like the interior and sink in the restroom ;)

Caitlin Lawler

Lots of seating, including a little outdoor patio upstairs that's nice for brunch . Since it's an Irish pub , it's good to go with the full Irish breakfast

Simone Maini

Great service - attentive, fast and with a smile. Nice rooftop patio . Tasty burger and ok pancakes - what we needed to power us back to DC via bike .

James FlorCruz

The prime rib sliders were aiight. The muscles on the other hand were faaaaaantastic. Paul was our server/bartender. Awesome guy. And omg a wonderful Irish whiskey selection .

Hamed Negron-Perez

Scotch eggs , bangers and mash and Irish egg rolls are a must. They're excellent.

DR G

Love this pub but stick to the Irish food (which is good).There's a reason Dublin isn't famous for nachos .

Tim S

Ask for the fire place table very cool... lots of beer to choose from. And guiness of course.

L. Ray Verschuyl

Open fire place - great old world charm. Great variety of seasonal beers .

Robert Osterberg

How can an Irish Pub run out of corned beef ??? Food was good-not great but good! Waiter was personable and nice.

Jacob Clere

Live traditional music on Monday evenings next to the main fireplace ! (Good tunes - not the hokey stuff.)

Mac Sparrow

A good portion of the bar 's adornments comes directly from Ireland! Owners had parts of buildings shipped to VA.

Ch8ryl

Fun atmosphere and good service . Seems like standard pub fare rolls out consistently well , such as burgers . The other food was hit or miss, but I'd still return.

Ali Woods Wilson

The Irish Egg Rolls are to die for!! So good. Corned beef , cheddar , cabbage , rolled and fried together. Oh ma gawd!!

Allen Meacham

From PBR "tall boys" to Jameson 15 year! All around great place on any budget

Russell Caluri

Interesting take on Corned Beef and Cabbage . Really enjoyed it

Sara Candela

Fabulous fries ! Also, great place for Kilkenny beer .

Bruce Krywinski Jr.

Irish Cheesesteak was good! Sweet potato fries are a must!

Bob Gossenberger

Shepherd’s pie was very good .. Reuben was also good ... Onion rings not so good - sort of burned. Music was decent but way too loud ! Couldn’t hear the people sitting next to me ...

hoLLy Lynn

Irish Cheesesteak was yummy, order it with their sweet potatoes fries ;)

JW

I learned that "snake bites" are an American creation, but, they make great ones! Make sure to order it "dark."

Jason K

Great bread pudding . Decent beer selection . Very cozy atmosphere .

Russell Caluri

Love the bars . Great atmosphere

Jessica Renshaw

I paid $25 for a 12oz ribeye that I ordered medium, but it came welldone in the middle and med rare on the edges. Overall not bad but expected better for the price and the (somewhat) limited menu.

Charlotte

Ask for the spicy mustard with the scotch eggs

Travis Deplitch

Guinness Cheeseburger is amazing. Plus they have "Build your own Smores "

hoLLy Lynn

Shepards Pie is a 10!!! And huge :)

S'mores are fun to share for dessert ! The blueberry bread pudding was also amaaaazing.

Try the fried bangers and Guiness Cheeseburger . The bangers are not always on the menu. Ask for the.

The buffalo chicken salad is great!

The pub has 4 fireplaces and 6 Nations Rugby Championship matches on the TVs . Brilliant.
