This place was really fun. Food was great. I love the option of the side room incase your group needs a bit more space. Staff were polite and helpful. They explained their selection well. Only wish that the kitchen was open later. Would be awesome as a late night eat spot. No complaints though. I will definitely be here again.

Decent list of beers. Unfortunately I've been here a handful of times and have generally experienced poor service. Last Sunday a friend and I went here for brunch. I ordered a Breakfast Burrito and got a Breakfast Wrap (yes there is a difference and it appears this place doesn't know that). To boot, it only took 55 minutes to get our food order. A few minutes before our food arrived, one of our 3 servers (not really sure why there was 3 of them) asked if we wanted to order some food. I found this was strange especially since she was the one who took our order earlier. Now, I do acknowledge one was in training, and willl say all three were very friendly and outgoing so I don't hold them responsible, if anything I'd point the finger at management for the issues. Perhaps new training procedures would be a good idea.

If you are going sit at the bar if you’re not on the patio. Service is much better. The are rolling out a new food menu with the new ownership group. Let’s hope it makes a difference. I’ve noted as of late that a lot of regular patrons, myself included, are not going as often. Especially at happy hour. That may stem from the lack of snacks offered at that time. I’ll try again in a few weeks but with so many options around they need to pick up their game

Absolutely love this place! The staff are friendly, the beer is good and the food.... I dream about it. It's sooooo good. Whether your looking for authentic Irish pub food or a delicious power/salad bowl, this place is definitely one you should put on your radar. It even has cool like nooks and private rooms for a parties of any size. A YYC gem!

Excellent Irish pub atmospherr and fantastic food selection. Try the Irish curry chicken dish over chips and you will not leave disappointed. A nice touch is the server's are mostly on working visas from Ireland. Our server was on a two year sponsored work visa. Very nice touch to add to the atmosphere.
