I love the ambience of this Irish bar. I came here specifically for the scotch eggs and was not disappointed. My first beer (Juicy Banger) came out of the tap very flat, but the other 2 I had were fresh and delicious. If you're a Liverpool fan, this is the place to be.

Everything here was top notch. Absolutely perfect pint of Guinness, service, food and friendliness. All class. We’ve been looking for a local and this will have to be it. As far as the Guinness is concerned, best taste, cleanest lines, perfect temp, and most excellent pour in Denver. *I only drink Guinness and writing this review made me happy.

The food here is amazing. They have Irish dishes that are delicious, or if you prefer they do have burger choices, whatever you choose you will love. I strongly recommend the bangers and mash, or shepherds pie. Like I said all their dishes are delicious. Try it for yourself and you will definitely be going back again.

We went here for my daughter's birthday, during the Super Bowl, because she wanted to try the black and white pudding (and so we can also watch the rest of the Super Bowl). She did love her food (she got the Irish Breakfast) and Guinness. The Scotch Egg appetizer was great. My other daughter got the Steak and Fries and she loved it as well. I got the Steak and Fries too, which was also good for me but found the gravy a little salty. The atmosphere is what you would expect on a Super Bowl Sunday, people drinking and the speakers so loud, I can't hear us talk. No complaints though since that was expected. The service, however, was just okay. Our server was not that friendly, I don't know, maybe she was already tired, but she was also quite slow and she barely checked on us. The only time she was quick was with the check. All in all, it was just an okay experience.
