"Food: corned beef and cabbage dinner was delicious. Not to overcooked. Carrots, cabbage, onions and broccoli tasted fresh and crisp. Lava cake was missing the lava,but other than that; I enjoyed eating here. Service: Waitress seemed to be having a hard day and the only one on staff. Atmosphere: Enjoyed the Irish vibe. Would come back"

"The restaurant/bar was clean and well kept. Service was great, no wait to sit down or order. I tried the fish and chips and the Calamari, both were great. The fish was cooked perfectly, light/flakey, and battered just right. The Calamari was good too. Cole Slaw was a creamy style and it was really good. I would definitely eat here again."

"We were waiting for one of our cars charging at the PSE station and decided to grab a bite to eat. The bar was just opened at that point & Steven, our bartender, tended to us and what we were looking for in terms of food & drinks. My friend had the mac&cheese while I had the fish & chips. My friend enjoyed some of Stevens drink creations which seemed really delicious! The venue was really welcoming & well put together; seemed to have a laidback vibe. Im happy we stumbled upon it and if you are looking for a place to hang out, recommend stopping by!"

"I ordered the the fried chicken and I actually think it was a pigeon the pieces were so small and the serving of mashed potatoes skimpy to say the least. Had to ask our waiter for another beer after he came to our table twice without asking if I wanted another one. And the place wasn't very crowded now I know why. Completely different from past experiences"

"As close to an Irish pub that you will find in the US. The food quality is top notch and Lorraine is wonderful. Lots of locals and repeat customers. Great beers on tap."

- Mark B.

"The location was pretty good if your in Kent. I was staying next door so it was great for me. The atmosphere was pretty good. It's highly revolving the bar. I wish there were more and larger TVs. The staff was amazing. They were very prompt and helpful. They greeted me immediately, took my order, and had food in front of me in 5-10 minutes. My problem was with the food. The cold slaw was pretty good. The fries were good. The fish was not good. It was a bit dry but was not very flaky or tender. It was a touch overcooked and the beer batter wasn't for me. Fish and fries were hot."

- William H.

"Embrace your Irish roots at this cozy Irish pub. I had the sausage rolls along with Shepard's Pie. Both were scrumptious. The sausage in the rolls was herbal (maybe sage or Basil) and the puff pastry was nice and flaky. Having gravy was a nice addition. The savory flavor of the Shepard's Pie is the best I've had in a while and really hit the spot. It also had just the right amount of peas and carrots. There's a slice of Irish bread on the side and it reminded me of a sweet corn bread. I look forward to returning to try the fish and chips!"
