Bubs Irish Pub

Stopped by this place while visiting a friend in Germantown to grab a drink and meet up with some friends. To my surprise, this place was HUGE and had pretty much everything you'd ever want in a bar: pool tables, darts, skee ball  (for free!), bags? (kind of like an electronic version of cornhole), live music, and a few good beers on tap at a very decent price. I can't vouch for the food as I did not order anything but I did notice a sign for Taco Tuesdays and Wing Wednesdays. The crowd was pretty chill and young (20-somethings). Unfortunately I don't live nearby because I could see myself becoming a regular here.

Man would I love to give this place a good review... frankly, if you are just a bar person, it is pretty nice.   The place is kind of 4 rooms.   You walk into a standard WI bar... almost looks like the bar in the front of a bowling alley... big bending bar, booths and some tables.   To the right and up a step is a dining room with very little character.   Behind the main bar is a HUGE room that looks kind of like big Texas dance hall.   Great big stage and a few tiers you need to walk down to get to the main floor.   I mean, this is a great setting for live music.  There is also a bar in this room.   To the right of this big room is a smaller room that is decked out like and old Irish pub.   I have seen that room twice, but it was never open and operating... maybe just on weekends or for special events, but it is the nicest looking of all the rooms and really pulls off the whole "I feel like we are in Ireland" vibe pretty well.

The bad is the food.   I do not mean spoiled or inedible, just completely and utterly forgettable.   With so few choices in the area for pub like food, we find ourselves here about once every year and always say we will not return for food.  

If you find you have to visit, I would stay away from the fried foods and stick to the grilled sandwiches which seem to be a little better.  I would specifically avoid the fish fry.

For the bar and music room I will just say they tend to specialize in hosting your typical cover bands that play popular theme music so if you like "New Country," or "80's Hits" or maybe "Disco Revival" type bands you could have a great time.   The beer selections are fair.   It seems they probably pour more bud/coors light than anything else.

On the upside, the people who work here are always super nice and service at the bar and with food is always good.  I just wish they would bring in a super cook and redo the whole kitchen operation because this place is a cool building in a great location.

Dirty, Sysco food, horrible service, bad crowd.   don't waste your time!
