Murphy's Law

Big yellow building, CANT miss it lol.

Host/Hostess and waitresses were all very pleasant and up beat.  We were seated immediately and asked to be closer to the TVs to catch the Bruins game. We ordered some appetizers and Guinness while waiting for the game and to order dinner.  We got the Irish Spring Rolls with a side of honey mustard sauce which was really good! I think its a little mixture of corned beef and potatoes inside the little roll, only 3 rolls cut but perfect for two people.  We also got the vinegar chips and french onion dip, and while I do love homemade chips, I couldn't taste the "vinegar" but they were still good!

About 5 minutes before the game begins, the satellite went out and therefore the game wouldn't come on.  Obviously not the bars fault but it def killed the mood and ended up with customers leaving, it was a playoff game!! Although we wanted to leave too, we at least wanted to order dinner first before we went back home to watch the game on cable. (I blame the rain!!!).

My fiance ordered the bangers and mash and I got the beef stew, classic Irish dishes.  He loved the bangers and mash along with whatever gravy they used on it.  My beef stew, while the sauce itself was delicious, when I went to bite into a piece of beef  I immediately noticed it was cold, the potatoes were warm but the beef was just room temperature. When the waitress came over I let her know and she apologized up and down about it and asked if there was something else on the menu I'd like, or if I'd like a new plate of the same dish - I wanted the same dish.  This time when she came back with the plate it was steaming!!! I don't think I've ever seen a beef stew dish have so much steam coming off of it before in my life.  So obviously the cooks wanted to prove a point but also, I think it was a bit ridiculous.  I waited a good 10 minutes before digging into my plate.  Still delicious, but too hot, I ended up taking the rest of the plate home to eat.

The cool thing about this bar is the tables with the taps on top.  Different tables have different beer selections, so if you're not drinking beer or the table doesn't have your drink of choice, I recommend you sit somewhere else so people that do like those beers can enjoy them.  The waitress did warn us that the price add up quick when people have the ability to pour their own.  The tap allows 2 drinks per person and you let her know when you want more and she'll up you another 2. Whatever you don't drink, you don't pay for - that simple!  I'd like to go back and sit there some time, so we'll see!!

I'm there every other day the bar is the place to be for sports games when.  local teams score there's a. Good supply of cheers. Good choices in music. Live music as well. Some nights its a quiet dinner some nights its a wild dinner be up for anything when you arrived

A personal tap at your table?? Sign this chick up!  SOLD!

I think the novelty of pouring your own drinks with friends is a great concept!  There are five self-serve draft tables, each with two taps;  Guinness paired with either Harp, Blue Moon, Narragansett, or Smithwicks.

My friends and I sat at the Guinness and Harp table top. It took this novice a few tries to pour my own beer correctly, but once I got the hang of it, black and tans were at my disposal!  

The pub food was surprisingly good, we ordered wraps and a burger.  

It's a great place to watch a game (the Bruins were on the night we went) and if you stay long enough on the weekends, you'll catch a DJ or live music.  There was a DJ the night I went, and it the music was right up my ally but later on in the night I wasn't feeling the selection as much and could take it or leave it.

Either way, I can't wait to make my next black and tan!
