  • Do not order Sausage & Mash. The sausages are the same as Oktoberfest Sausages! Definately not Irish or the best taste. Fish & chips are fine. E mailed the pub, but got no response. Told the waitress that the sausages were not what I expected, but she did nothing about it. Disappointing and expensive.

  • Order: Irish Sausage & Chum.

  • Decor, service and food quality were first rate. Food was served in a timely and hot fashion. Beer was served at correct temperature. Waitress was friendly. Atmosphere with celtic music rounded off the experience.

  • Order: Burger and fish and chips

  • This was a lovley pub,beautiful decor. The food was the best I had while visiting Niagara at the lake. Our waitress, was charming and so much fun. I cant think of a negative thing to say. Excellent variety of food and drink, best prices I saw anywhere and quality as well.

  • Order: Fish n Chips, Steak and Guinness Pie, Guinnes and a Horny Leprachaun

  • Decided to revisit this place again after my previous negative review over a year ago. The decor hasn't changed - still warm and inviting. The fish and chips were not perfect but still very good. The prices were not exhorbitant. And the couple playing Celtic music provided a wonderful atmosphere.

    A good pub - and a good resturant.

    PS. The previous reviewer who claimed my review was bogus should note that 2006 comes after 2005.

  • Order: fish and chips

  • Despite all the bad reviews I read for this place, I decided to give it a try for dinner with my friend. The staff certainly had their hands full. I quickly discovered they were having a trivia night and the place was absolutely full. We were going to leave but the manager quickly made room for us.

    I ordered the fish and chips and my friend the Irish Stew. I was a little surprised when the food literally came 5 minutes later giver or take 1 minute and my immediate thought was that the food has been sitting under a heat lamp all night. Either way, my meal was gorgeous. The serving size of the fish was massive and I only ordered the smaller dish. The fish, I think it was halibut, was as white as snow and very tender. Very reasonably priced too, 9.99 I think. The atmoshpere is brilliant too and the wait staff although very stretched thin was extremely accommodating considering how packed the place was. My only complaint, since this is a review site was that the soda was flat and the batter on the fish was just a touch too thick.

    I would definitely eat there again and recommend this place to all my friends.

  • Order: English Style Fish and Chips, Soda, Irish Stew

  • Gords got an axe to grind somewhere. This place didnt even open until August 2006. He couldnt have been there in winter 2005-06. The food isnt bad but the service is. The prices are still too high
    Editor''s Note: Gord review indicates he visited in November 2006, not November 2005.

  • Order: Gords review is bogus. The place didnt open until August 2006

  • If I could have eaten the decor I'd have been a happy guy. The food was less than memorably and the price was shockingly high. I went for the so-called Celtic band - a tribute to mediocrity they were. However, they did compliment the food very well.

  • Order: Guinness and Bangers and something-or-other.

  • Our server was prompt but her boss? sn old guy was hovering over and harrassing her to the point that it interfered with our enjoyment of our meal. The bangers were poor. The ribs were ok but overpriced for what they were. Tasted like heinz BBQ sauce

  • Order: Bangers and Mash ribs Guinness
