This is the most iconic looking and feeling pub I've seen in a while. They serve a fantastic pint of Guinness, Smithwicks, and 12 other draft beers. Their classic pub fare does not disappoint either - although, a little pricey. They have fantastic live music Sunday nights as well, if you're in the mood for a little Irish song.

This spot has the most beautiful outdoor seating area ever! It’s filled with flowers and lots of seats right in the middle of the city.
The food is lovely as well. Tried the fish and chips as well as the potato leek soup. Both came in awesome portions and very tasty.
Id be a regular here if I lived nearby for sure.

This restaurant made me miss my time in Europe. It has such an authentic historical feel to it. It's decorated beautifully and it reflects its authentic feel.
The food is amazing! This is my second time visiting and I wanted to try something new but the Shepards pie was too delicious the first time, so I got it again.
My husband got the lamb burger. He was a big fan too! He has a new favorite now.
The waiters was terrific. The food arrived quickly and hot.

What a gem!
We booked the patio for a birthday party on a Saturday night for 22 people.
First of all, many thanks to Sam for making the reservation so easy.
Secondly, I wanted to thank Alex for being so kind and attentive. I don’t know the names of the other staff that helped us, unfortunately, but they were all great.
The food came very fast and fresh, and all the dishes tastes really good. Same for the drinks. Can’t thank you guys enough for the great night.
