    Stopped by for a drink and a snack and I was pleasantly surprised. At first glance it may look like your average Irish/English style pub, but I think that's intentional and I certainly am not one to complain about decor. Good selection of beers on tap and a perfect sized menu: not too long but there are options for pescatarian/Paleo diets. Not sure about Vegan/Vegetarian but I think you could get by, and the kitchen is open damn near to close which is a major plus. I got a chicken quesadilla and while it didn't blow my mind, I don't think any chicken quesadilla would 😆 Guac was very tasty and prices were reasonable if not on the cheaper side for downtown SC. Overall a very positive experience, met a nice local and we chatted while I ate and the bartender was really good about making sure we were both taken care of. I do love dives like the Blue Lagoon(esp. because of the live entertainment) but I have a feeling I'll be at Rosie's sometime again soon. Overall: 4.5/5

    We've been coming here for years. Came for an early dinner to get the fish and chips we always get. This time, 4 small chicken nugget size fish and a single handful of fries for almost $30. Not a great value. I suppose they couldn't put a lot of fries because it would highlight how tiny the fish pieces are. This amounted to about 1 piece of fish when added together. Since all 4 of us at the table ordered the same, I'm wondering if the chef cut two normal pieces into 8 to serve us all? I have fish and chips all up and down the entire Pacific Coast. This is the smallest portion yet. Tastes good, but then you wish even moreso that you had more. Should have taken a picture

    Large menu with several vegetarian options but it is a bit pricey.
