Love this location! Such a great little neighborhood spot with a welcoming atmosphere, amazing staff, and a space that’s always spotlessly clean. The food is great pub fare, and the haddock stack is a favourite. Always a great experience!

Nice quiet spot tucked behind the main strip in MRDA. Great, warm atmosphere, perfect meet up spot for their happy hour offerings. We went with a couple platters of Nachos and guacamole, several orders of Ribs 🤤 (none pictured as they were completely devoured in a short time.
Fish tacos and the truffle Parm fries for the win! They were a nice choice on top of everything else we ordered that late into the evening.

Place is always dirty and be prepared to sit for 15 minutes before anyone ever acknowledges you are in the building. For food so poor at least the service ahould be better. Honestly, whoever staffs this place should be ashamed of themselves. There is NEVER enough staff to even provide passable service.

Came here on monday, it was really really busy. Kinda felt bad for the staff, It looked like they were the only two servers there the whole day. But the servers were still really good and she was honest about wait times but food came faster than I expected, and it was good.
Some people at another table close to mine were being kinda rude to the server, they were just not empathetic or smart enough to realize that the restaurant was really packed. Despite that, the server was always helpful to them and super professional even though she had to deal with this kind of people. Respects to the servers.

This place has become absolute trash over the last year it feels like. Gave it 3 separate opportunities this July but now I’m obligated to let my fellow MardaLoopians know to not waste their time/money here.
You walk in to have a beer and nobody says a word to greet you. Maybe the rare friendly waitress will say “hi” but yea unfortunately never sit in their section. You find a seat and get walked past 3-4 times by other staff as if you’re a ghost. Plan accordingly for an initial 10min wait for service if you do show up for whatever reason.
I’m certainly not an entitled boomer that expects staff to act at the snap of my fingers but man this place really makes me feel as if I have to in order to get acknowledged.
For a cowtown veteran establishment with an absolute premium location, just erase them from your local option list and please walk East to Penny or Rocca or The Brew Co for an enjoyable beverage!
