Happy hour drink and food specials were amazing. We will definitely come back on our next trip to VB. We were staying in the beach for over a week and ate here 4 or 5 of the nights! I'm following a very low carb way of eating and most nights I had raw oysters and chicken wings! Everything was fresh and delicious! Thank you for making Veteran's day weekend memorable with the specials on irish whiskey!
One of the times we were there with a young couple and their children. The meals were all wonderful and the children's size fish and chips was larger than adult portion another restaurant we ate at.

When not so loud you can't hear yourself talking to one another, I enjoy the live entertainment. Food is enjoyable and have always had decent service which is always appreciated. A favorite go-to with colleagues and friends.

Great food! Perfect atmosphere for watching a football or soccer game.
Had the potato skins which were typical. Raw Oysters which my husband loved. Shepherd’s Pie was FANTASTIC & Beef Stew was exceptional! Our waitress was very friendly, helped with our menu selections and was overall very attentive. Will be back!

Came here bc it’s close to our hotel. Loved the theme! Very old school Irish pub vibe. Loved the support for Law Enforcement Firefighters and Military. Beers were good. But holy Christ. Music SUCKED. Two dudes one with a guitar and the other with a tambourine. Worse than a karaoke with deaf singers. Was hoping to hear Irish jig’s or some Irish folklore. NOPE! Just shitty random 90s reminded me of a house party where some guy finds a random guitar and starts goofing off.
