    The Irishman Pub is a nice little restaurant in the heart of Williamsville.  This place is beautifully decorated and has all the charm of a pub in the Irish countryside. We've been here many times for Saturday or Sunday brunch. Their menu for brunch is terrific. My personal favorite is the corned beef hash skillet. The hash is homemade with a sauce that has a bit of a kick to it. I also recommend the eggs benedict. Also during brunch are traditional Irish sessions. If you're not familiar, sessions are an informal gathering of people leisurely playing traditional Irish music.  The music is played at a low volume level which keeps the experience enjoyable.  One note -- I've never been here for dinner so I cannot speak for how this place is at night.

    I got the fish and chips, french fries were soggy but the fish was good and the size of a cat. Nice atmosphere and I like the giant wine glasses. My friend destroyed his Reuben.

    I'm only giving this place 2 stars because the French onion soup I had here was great.... Otherwise, I will not be returning here for dinner, ever!

    We were looking forward to sitting on the patio, but because of a sudden downpour, had to sit inside. Based on a previous trip here, I knew none of us were going to be able to hear each other, or anything else above the noisiness of this place. It wasn't even very crowded, but we had to yell at each other just to talk! And hey, my mom and sister and I are Italian but that's even too much for us! Our waiter was very nice and friendly, but he stated he had a hearing problem...go figure! Must be a job hazard there. Incidentally, I was the only one at our table who even heard him say this!

    The parking "lot" is ridiculous. I know the restaurant is situated in a very crowded place on Main Street, but there are like 8 spots, and a bunch were handicap!

    Not a single one of us enjoyed our meals. After reading some other reviews, I'd have to say we should have just ordered pub food. I had the special- supposedly filet (not even close) ordered medium rare, served well done (must be that pesky hearing problem!) with horrible puffy, overdone plain couscous on the side with only a sprinkling of paprika over it. For $25...I could have died. I have to find a positive though, and mention again how great the onion soup was. Thank god I had that. Because I'm not a drinker, I have to count on decent tasting soda, and let me just say, I don't know if something was wrong with the dispenser, or if they're just too concerned with their Jamison and Guinness, but the diet Pepsi tasted like fizzy bug spray-- YUCK! I know, I know, some people would say that's what you get for ordering a soda in an Irish pub, but come on! Not all of us can drink like its St. Patty's Day...unless you wanna post my bail. Haha!

    I probably will hang on the patio here during old home days, since that's where my friends tend to come after the beer tent closes, but that's about the only way I'm returning to the Irishman

    First impressions:

    -No parking- we had to park in the lot on the other side of the Creekview. During a downpour. Ooof. The Irishman lot is tiny and there are 4 handicapped spots, 2 of which were open, and I think should be regular parking.

    -Damn, it's loud in this joint!!!!! The noise level in this restaurant turned me so off to the point that I would not venture back until that's solved or unless it was a gorgeous day out to sit outdoors. Obviously, it was raining when we were there so our idea to sit on the patio was thwarted.

    The Service & Food:

    -Waiter was fine but admitted to having a hearing issue (gee, I can't imagine why...). He forgot the chicken on my dish, even though I asked for it. Claimed I never asked for it... Well... There's that noise/hearing issue interfering with the service. I would imagine that orders get screwed up often here because of the noise... Whatever. Otherwise, he was pleasant.

    -The garden (side) salad was really good. Very fresh, huge pieces of cucumber and tomato. Needed croutons or a nut/seed... but it was okay by itself too.

    -The onion soup is damn tasty! I didn't order it, but wished I did once I tried it. I would get this soup, a salad, and maybe an appetizer to split if I were ever to come back.

    -The Blarney Fries were awesome- natural cut fries, cheese on top, and a delicious cup of gravy on the side. Yummy!!!

    I had some pasta dish with veggies. It was terrible. Pasta was so over-boiled it was mushy. The "sauce" was bitter and just not appealing. Nothing about this dish was good.

    I tasted the Guiness Stew- was TERRIBLE. Had a super strong taste of thyme and was very bitter. Plus my mom said there were only like 2 small chunks of meat in the entire bowl. Not good.

    The fish & chips was decent. That'd be another good choice to order here, like the soup and salad.

    The grilled filet special was AWFUL! I had a hard time believing that the steak was actually filet. It was gritty and just not good. My sister ordered it medium rare but it was more medium. Plus it had absolutely NO seasoning on it. None. No salt, nothing. Was weird!!! It was served with awful couscous that was WAY over boiled and flavorless, aside from some spicy paprika dump on top. Terrible.

    Overall, most everything other than the pub food items had a weird bitter taste. Our tab came to $110 (before tip) for 4 people, with no alcohol. I think that's WAY too much to pay for mediocre food.

    As it stands, I wouldn't come back until the acoustics improve. And if I come back, I would order pub food, soup, or salad. Don't waste your money on the expensive dinner items. Yuck!

    Hey owner... Fix the noise issue!!!!

    I came here for dinner on a Tuesday night, and my dining partners and I were delighted to find out Tuesdays are half prices bottles of wine!! Yay! We were a party of three, with two red wine drinkers and one white wine drinker.  This worked out perfectly, as we were able to order two separate bottles of wine for a very reasonable price (One of the bottles of wine did not get finished, and the waitress ended up corking it and letting us take it home!)

    Atmosphere:  I liked the feel of this "Irish Pub".  It was very warm and inviting.  My only complaint was that there was only one tiny, VERY dim light hanging above our table.  It was so dark that we actually had to pull out cell phones in order to read the menu.  I do like darker ambiances for dining; however this was just a little too dark.  The waitress even commented saying it was a little dark at our table.

    Food:  I ordered the fish and chips.  The fish was so-so; nothing spectacular.  Another person ordered the Reuben sandwich and was unfortunately disappointed.  He said it was way too dry, and actually had to ask the waitress for a side of the "special dressing".  Even after adding that, he commented "it just wasn't a good Reuben".   I can't remember what the third person ordered as their entrée, but they did order the Blarney fries, and loved them!  Overall, I don't think anyone was overly pleased with their meals, but at the same time it wasn't inedible, just kind of plain.

    Service:  The overall service was well.  Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us numerous times.  She was also training another employee, who was very friendly each time they came to the table together.  I especially liked the fact that they allowed you to take home an unfinished bottle of wine.  And now that I know Tuesday is half priced bottles of wine, I may have to return on a Tuesday!

    My "3 star" rating of this restaurant defines it adequately in my book.  Nothing there is spectacular, over the top, or unique.  However nothing is displeasing to where I would not return.  It may not be on my list of top ten places to go, but if I were to return for something, I wouldn't be disappointed.

    The Irishman is the quintessential definition of a  3 in my book. Nothing there is great, nothing is really horrible, and everything is what it is. The draught selection consists of Irish staples Guinness, Harp, Murphy's, and then other swill that isn't very interesting. Again, the beer selection is okay - better than Blue / Blue Light but no real interesting options.

    I have never been impressed by the food either. Having been there a handful of times I have jumped around the menu looking to strike gold but that never happens. I've had a burger, fish fry, the "Best Rueben in Town", and a steak salad, none of which impressed but none ruined my day. It's close to where I work so sometimes I end up there because of better options. After finishing my meal I usually have the "ah-ha" moment of why I don't go more often.

    The highlight seems to be the patio that faces rush hour traffic in Williamsville. It serves up fresh car exhaust fumes to go with your cocktail of choice.

    Great atmosphere and woodwork around the whole place.  Decided to go here for Fat Tuesday and it didn't disappoint.  The pub burger was cooked to perfection and the Mardis Gras drink specials were a great price.

    Was in the area for work and randomly picked this place.  Great choice!

    Only complaint was that it was so loud I couldn't hear my dinner partner talking.

    I had the Tuscan Pizza appetizer as my dinner entree, since I had only $15 and the regular entrees were at least $17-18 to start. It was delicious, and plenty filling since I wasn't starving. The lively environment made it hard to hear people at the other end of our large table but if you're down for Happy Hour shenanigans it seems it's the place to be. However, the parking lot is ridiculous. If I had know some crazy lady from the suburbs would hit my beautiful VW with her crappy SUV, I never would have ventured here. Luckily, the lot is so hard to get out of that another lady who saw her hit my car came inside and found me so I could talk to her. If you must go here, I suggest parking in the street... though that puts you at the peril of the crazy Main Street drivers.

    Went for lunch right at 12, it wasn't too busy when I got there but it filled up quickly. The service was less than impressive. Polite, but by no means friendly. Also the server managed to avoid looking in my direction for the five full minutes I was staring at her chatting with coworkers while waiting to order.

    I tried a wrap and fries, and both were great. I was extremely happy with the food and the portions. I may be somewhat biased on prices coming from New York, but I thought they were fairly reasonable for what came out.

    Overall, would definitely recommend as a decent lunch spot, and I would give it another go.

    Went here around christmas of 2011 to hang out with a bunch of other disgruntled employees at the company I used to work for that was down the street from this fine establishment. When you walk into here you see a lot of great woodwork that brings out the Irish pub feel immediately. I unfortunately didn't eat food here for we just stopped off for a few beers to wind down and enjoy each other's company outside of the hell we called work.

    I ordered a few beers as well as everyone else. The place wasn't busy yet because it was around 3:30pm, so we came at a good time where it wouldn't be too crowded and we could enjoy the authentic look of the Irish pub we were looking for. The staff is mighty friendly to us which is always a plus. The drink prices were reasonable, and nothing too different from any other pub or bar you'll go to in Western New York.

    I'd recommend this place just for the interior design looking so authentic. I would go back to hang out here again and try their food too.

    I love this place. The food is amazing and what makes it special is that it tastes like no other food I've eaten before. It's stands true to its authentic Irish style, and it's delicious. The Dublin Apple Martini is a must! Made with Irish whiskey, apple pucker and cranberry juice it's one of the best apple-tinis I've ever had. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is unique and relaxing. I wish more pubs here in Buffalo would have an European atmosphere. It's a great place to hang out with friends on a Friday night, if the live music too loud you have the option to sit outside. Awesome place!

    Loved the burgers! Then went to the bar for a few drinks. The bartenders (two lovely female) were very fun and energetic. We got several free shots throughout the night! The beer prices are pretty good also! Can't complain. I love this place!

    If I could rate it no stars I would.  The menu items did not describe the food accurately ...a steak sandwich that was strip steak.  The ruben sandwich was terrible; It was dry, the meat was poorly cooked and was the worst ruben sandwich ever.  The big problem was it was on their menu as the best ruben in town LOL!  

    The waitress was nice, the other people in our group got a burger that was over cooked and others had poorly cooked food.  I have eaten better meals at Wendys and McDonalds ...Unfortunately!

    I went here to eat for the first time. I went with a small group for lunch and we all got salads. Because it was so nice outside, we decided to sit on the patio under an umbrella. The breeze was nice and even though we were right near Main Street, we didn't mind the noise.

    I had the caesar salad. I hadn't read what was included with the salad when I ordered so I was surprised when i got it. There was a traditional caesar dressing on the salad as well as a balsamic dressing. They worked well together. I was also surprised by the "parmesan tuille" but broke it into pieces and it, too, was a great addition to the salad.

    As I looked at the other salads they all looked delicious. One person got the almond chicken salad, another got the seasonal green salad, and someone got the greek salad.

    I would definitely come here again for lunch or dinner!

    Two friends and I were here for lunch recently. As my sampling size for Williamsville restaurants was rather small, we decided on heading here. That and the fact that I don't have enough data points for Irish food.

    I should say that my lunch was okay. 3 stars. Yeah, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't stellar either. I had the soup of the day (which was spicy Italian) with a half Dublin Decker sandwich. The soup was good. The sandwich was rather greasy, and the chips that went with it were not crispy.

    Somehow, the food I got strengthened the stereotype that Irish food is unhealthy greasy food. That's a negative, but at least it came with style, balancing it out. So overall, I give it three stars, but it isn't the place that sticks out to my mind as a prime example of a dining experience.

    Delicious fish fry, and amazing black and tan macaroni & cheese.  The menu is a bit bizarre in the days/times of food offerings (i.e. no sandwiches on Sundays?) - but good consistent food nonetheless.

    I love Irish Pub Food, but it's so heavy I rarely get it, so when I do I want it to be good.  The Irishman Salad was great, we shared.  We also split the fish & chips, it was great, I know there are tons of Fish Fry places in town, but this was better than most I've had and it's available all the time.
    I'll be back for sure!

    I love a nice patio in the Summer.  The Irishman's new patio was perfect for lunch with Seanie & Grace today.  Great improved menu since the last time I was there.

    I ordered the Irishman salad served with fresh fiel greens, grilled  seasoned chicken, a sliced hardboiled egg, avocado wedge, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and Irish ham.  I don't think I love Irish ham...  I chose the housemade white French dessing.  I think I love white French dressing.  The salad was just perfect.

    Sean ordered a wrap with sirloin, carmelized onions, and blue cheese.  He was mmmmmming inbetween bites.  Grace had a Caesar wrap and loved it.  Too big for her to be a member of the clean plate club though.  Both wraps came with fresh cut fries. The tables are well equipped with folding umbrellas so you can choose to fry, or be shaded.

    Our server Sue was super cool and attentive.

    My only complaint is that almost at the end of our meal, the yellowjackets started to swarm, but that could happen on any patio.

    Last night was a PERFECT night to sit out on the patio and enjoy a shared bottle of wine and dinner with a friend.  As always, it was very crowded at The Irishman, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table.  We began our bottle of wine at the bar and BONUS:  Tuesday is half price bottles!  A great selection too.

    I had the fish and chips and my friend had the corned beef and cabbage.  A fish fry on a Tuesday!  Yay!  The fish was delicious.... flakey, white, just enough (but not too much) batter.  The only negative thing about it was it was "skin-on" and I'm a bit of a baby about that kind of thing.  The french fries were "skin-on" too, but that I love.  Great cole slaw... not too much mayo, and very crisp and fresh.  My friend's corned beef looked good and he ate every last bite.  

    The service was excellent.  Our waitress was helpful and upbeat.  She accidently spilled a drop or two of corned beef "juice" on my friend and came right out with seltzer and napkins for the clean-up (without being asked) and later on gave us a dessert "on the house".  Yummy, creamy cheesecake with strawberries and REAL whipped cream.  Yes, for me that matters.

    We went to The Irishman for dinner tonight as part of a business trip. Having been here before, the noise level mentioned before really did not strike me as much. It was lively, but perhaps a hot Monday defuses the noise a little bit.

    The food here is alright. There isa selection of irish fare and some good beer. The Southern Tier IPA is quite nice, very hoppy. The Shepherd's Pie though, while tasty, is odd. First off, it's not a pie, more of a soup with some mash thrown in. They use shredded colby cheese, which makes it odd, and the lamb could use about another 15 minutes in the stew to make it fork tender.

    Overall an alright place. Not a highlight, but doable if you are in Williamsville and want to walk.

    Went back for dinner...and it was SLOP...Pure SLOP.  The Shepard's Pie was a mushy goo and my dinner companions pecan crusted chicken breast was covered in craisins and garlic pieces....just disgusting.  I guess it really depends on who is cooking, because I have had some phenomenal meals there.

    First off, this is NOT and authentic Irish Pub...the food is quite good, I suppose that's why they added "and Eatery" to the name.

    The salads are good, very fresh ingredients and well put together with quite a few good combinations, I had the Steak Salad while my dinner partner enjoyed her Shepard's Pie.  Both dishes were well prepared and very good.

    What would an establishment of this genre be without a well appointed bar?  They have a rather extensive list of wines, whiskey's (both Irish and Scotch), and an assortment of beers (although why one would choose a beer other than Guinness in this circumstance is beyond my comprehension).  Need a reason to go out on a Tuesday night?  They have 1/2 price bottles of wine.

    I have read the reviews of others here and I think two of their complaints are easily explained.  I've read  a couple of reviews complaining that it is loud.  In fact, it is loud.  It's an Irish Pub.  I've never know a quiet Irish Pub or a quiet Irishman.  I don't mean to insult the Irish but there is a reason for the term "Irish Whisper".  

    There have also been comments that the place is dark and again, perhaps it is.  If you want light and airy, an Irish Pub is probably not the place to find it.

    When it comes to the parking, they do have a parking lot, however, this being a very popular establishment the lot is usually fairly full.  I have always been able to find a spot though.

    First off, parking can be a pain.
    Secondly, the place is pretty dimly lit, but the large windows do allow some natural light in; I'm not sure if these windows would be a plus or a negative in the winter.. Staring out at main street and all the snow can be pretty depressing.

    -They have quite the whiskey selection. Too bad I can't stand whiskey, haha. Their beer selection is pretty good, I expected more Irish beer options though.
    -I ordered a roast beef dish, with the vegetable side. Te vegetable side was no more than 5 pieces of asparagus

    Slow service on a not so busy day. Could have been our server but food easily took 45 mins. Plus the table had a previous food smear on it. Kinda gross.  Food was three out of five stars.

    The Irishman is a great place for a pint, hard cider (not just woodchuck, yay!), or a half price bottle of wine on Tuesdays.  Happy hour-ers are occasionally treated to some homemade potato chips at the bar, still warm from the kitchen.

    The last time we visited we raced in to catch lunch, admittedly cutting it pretty close (3:50 when lunch ended at 4).  By the time the slow service made it back with our drinks (which we ordered right upon sitting), she would no longer let us order lunch - which I suppose was fine, but we weren't then treated with the full dinner work-up (bread, water, etc) which I found a little annoying.

    The food is very good, though. My husband almost always orders the pub burger with mushrooms and loves it, and I've made my way by now through most of the salads without a complaint. I have to say though, don't leave this restaurant without trying an order of the Guinness wings - they are some of the best bbq wings we've ever had!

    The Sunday brunch is also very good, and on holidays they have an expanded brunch menu.  The new patio looks great and is much bigger than the original, and they managed to expand it without losing much of the already limited parking.

    Live music and traditionally Irish bartenders top off the experience at Irishman - it's become one of our regular places and it only seems to get better.  Somehow, they've made Irish food taste good!

    Nice chill Irish pub to kick back and check out some live local talent.  Also, I'm a sucker for Irish cider - they didn't have Magner's here but had something else (can't remember the name) which was just as good.

    The Irishman is a great place to relax and grab a beer.  Located in the village of Williamsville, The Irishman is a modern spin on an Old World pub, with it's low lighting and laid back atmosphere.  My fellow diner and I sat in the "library" section, which was actually just a quiet corner away from the front bar.  I ordered a Sam Adams on draft, but was surprised to see that their selection was somewhat limited.  Although the menu features the traditional pub fare, the waitress alerted us that they recently revamped the menu to include new items, like signature salads.  I tried the Almond Chicken Salad, which contained an unusual but tasty blend of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries.  For being labeled an "Irish pub," I was surprised to find that many of the entrees were actually quite pricey ($20 and up), which is why my friend and I stuck to just ordering appetizers.  Despite the upscale prices, The Irishman is cozy and even family friendly, and I'd recommend it for a quick bite.

    Snuck in here while on a business trip to Buffalo.  Was blown away by the Shepperd's Pie.  I love this dish, and typically, I get some small rendition of the real deal, with some kind of ground beef or lamb at the bottom, stewed in spices and then some peas and mashed potatoes on top.

    NOT HERE...

    This place does it right.  They stew real chunks of lamb for up to two days in onions, and other earthy spices.  Then they add the peas and some carrots and chunks of potatoes.  Topping that stew is a heap of mashed potatoes covered in cheese and then melted under the salamander.  What is most important here is how they create the stew and then let it sit for two days so the flavors all marry.  My spaghetti gravy always tastes better the next day or two days later.  Oh yeah, and it's all served in a cast iron skillet.  

    The only sadness was I had been there for lunch and could not order a tall pint to wash it all down. :(

    Oy!

    Unfortunately, despite all of the very nice reviews my experience here tonight was at the best i would say fair.  

    - Drinks - good (except they don't offer Bulmers (if you've been to Ireland you know what i'm talking about!)
    - Service - poor
    - Food - Depends on the dish my shepards pie was not seasoned at all and i'm not one to dump on the salt and pepper but the corned beef was very good! the apple and cinnamon smells were mouth watering before i even took a bite of my mothers dish! Also the Irish version of french onion soup was fantastic! my sister and i were arguing over who got the next spoonful!  it was peppery and yet a little sweet  oh so good!

    Recently moving into the neighborhood, we stopped by this place in hopes of finding a new regular venue. After our service, and the best appetizer I've ever tasted - we'll definitely be back!

    There was a Steak for Two special going on so we decided to give it a shot. The meal included salad, a 32 oz. steak, potatoes, asparagus, homemade fresh out of the oven bread, a bottle of wine, desserts, and an appetizer. This was all for just shy of $70.

    The appetizer was described as an Irish Spring Roll, which was a fried spring roll with a delicious inside combination of corned beef, cabbage, and swiss cheese. We were hesitant to try this at first, mostly do to the fact that neither of us regularly ate corned beef, BUT we gave it a shot. AND BOY ARE WE GLAD THAT WE DID. We took our first bites and immediately expressed our delight in this appetizer. It was one of the best I've had. I'm a bit disappointed that it is not a regular appetizer item on the menu (for sure, I would come in just to order this and a pint or two!).

    The asparagus was also delicious and the potatoes were quite tasty. As for the steak, I was delighted with mine, but our second half was ordered medium-well and came back more dry and less pink. It was still good, but not what was expected.

    One thing that really impressed us was the wait staff. Our waiter, Danial, was absolutely fabulous. I haven't had such good service in a very long time. He was not *too* attentive to our needs, but when he needed to be there, he was close by. He even noticed the steak being overcooked and made a comment about that not being what we asked for. I found that pretty impressive that he was looking out for us, rather than us going to him.

    Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. We will be dining here again in the near future!

    I've been here a handful of times, mostly just for drinks... it's cool / decent.  I like the decor just fine, it could be bigger though.  There never seems to be enough tables, and the bar can get a little tight.  

    I've only had an appetizer or two so i cannot really comment on the food... though I've been to the 2 or 3 other Irish pubs in this city and can assume the food is close to the same.

    Some people make a big deal out of the "perfect pint" of Guiness.  I don't know what that is, or what it's supposed to be... but they do the shamrock tracing thingy here, so there's that.
    I was a little disappointed that they were out of the advertised Brooklyn Chocolate Stout.
    My sissy ordered a hot cider with rum... and it was outstanding.  It gets sweeter with each sip (she could barely finish it).  There are several other 'hot toddys' on the drink menu as well.

    I'd probably come back as it's convenient for where I live.

    I went back recently for lunch with a large group again.  Despite being early for our reservation, they were still able to accommodate us pretty quickly.  

    To start, I tried the Guinness bbq wings - they were pretty good but I didn't really get much Guinness flavor from them.  The blue cheese sauce was very good though - in fact, I ordered it to have with the fries that came with my main course (Pub Burger).  I got my burger with bacon, caramelized onions and blue cheese crumbles.  It was pretty tasty, but the burger was a little overcooked.  Fries were still very good - they definitely seem fresh and hand-cut.  

    Anyway, I liked the food I had more this time.  Service was good again.  

    3.5

    The atmosphere is warm and cozy with lots of dark wood, yet much sleeker and newer than other Irish pubs I've frequented.  But this building has been quite a few other businesses (gas station, pharmacy, bakery) so it's not surprising to see the shiny-new interior.

    The staff is excellent.  Our waiter, Dan, was sufficiently attentive without hovering, nice and personable with out being overly friendly.  The hostess even teased me a little for showing up the night before because I got the dates wrong.  Ahh, Buffalo, where everyone will razz you for anything... I'm so glad to be home.

    They have a good variety of booze options, including coffee, hot chocolate, and hot cider drinks.  I had the Hot Apple Pie (hot cider, vanilla vodka, and cinnamon schnappes) and the husband had Hot Irish Eyes (hot chocolate, Irish whiskey, and creme de menthe) which we both thoroughly enjoyed.  At our table was also wine, Smithwick's (pronounced Schmitticks), Black and Tans, and one of the Irish coffee drinks.  Dan was great about attending to our drink requests.

    The menu looked really good and I had a hard time deciding what I would order, but I finally settled on the Bangers and Mac: sausages, fresh asparagus, and macaroni smothered in the Irishman's hand made Black and Tan cheese.  I was anticipating a sharper cheese, so I was a little dissapointed with the sauce that was more like an alfredo.  It was good, just not what I was anticipating.  Also at our table were wings, Shepherd's Pie, and the Apple and Spinach salad.  Everyone seemed pleased, yet not excited about the food.  

    Then the music started. I know that it is hard to get up on stage and perform for a crowd.  But, it was boring and I had to leave.  I was surprised by the age of the crowd, which was mostly early 20's, especially since the music was watered-down 70's light rock and the fact that these youngins didn't run screaming when the band started.  I probably wouldn't even mention it if it weren't for the fact that one of our dinnermates had been here before and said the music has made her leave before too.  

    So go for the drinks and atmosphere, lower your expectations from the images you get from the menu descriptions, and leave before the music starts.

    1/2 price bottles of wine on Tuesday, you know where to find me.  Excellent steak sandwich (though they forgot the cheese and sort of shrugged when we mentioned it).  They serve (hard) cider and have foofy hot drinks for their winter menu.  

    Wed nite open mic night? SUCKS.

    My husband had the best shepherd's pie I've ever had.  My corned beef was a little dry.  It was a spur of the moment outing.  We brought our 10 week old baby.  The atmosphere was nice - a little pubish,a little fancy.  I'll be back.

    i've been to this restaurant twice now, and I enjoyed it both times.  The first time I went I had the fish and chips, pretty good for a buffalo fish fry but I have definitely had better.  on my second trip, I had the corn beef and cabbage...excellent.  some of the best corn beef i've ever had.  my mom had the baked haddock topped with spinich and artichokes, also very tasty.  

    menu is on the smaller side, with some traditional irish meals and sandwiches.  there is a full bar and wine list...and they also offer live music...we were there on a friday night and the band was just starting up

    my only complaints are that the service was a little slow, and it can get quite loud, with high ceilings, lots of echo.
