I really want to give this place 5 stars, but there’s a few things that I can’t get over. The neon signs at the bar are obnoxious and unnecessary. The music is usually just a little too loud. Other than those two complaint I love it! It’s authentic Irish pub and the bar area is built of really ornate solid wood. It’s also a historic landmark in Willow Springs. It’s located in a beautiful spot tucked into the wood in Archer. You can hangout on the patio or porch—which is in need of new or rebuilt furniture out there. Food is very good as well. Check this place out!

This place is so unassuming from the outside, but it's a fantastic little place. The food is delicious, the back room is cozy with the fire, the staff is very friendly, and it's just a pleasant place to relax. My only complaint is not with the bar itself, but with Willow Springs allowing slots and poker and whatnot in all of these places. It detracts slightly from the atmosphere, IMO. (No star lost because it's a universal problem.) Regardless, I highly recommend this place. Try the wings! And the fries! And... everything else!

Cool place with good food and friendly servers. So why three stars? Because of a large private party, the large room was closed. It was a third annual gathering and I was looking forward to hearing live music. Instead there was standard Christmas fare playing. Yes, it is that season but I didn't go to an Irish pub to hear nothing Irish. I had a basket of chips for an appetizer. Last year they were wonderful. Warm and somewhat soft. These could have been poured out of a bag. Plenty of parking but the big lot is across the street. There really needs to be a well marked crosswalk.

Food and service is quite good but the place is dirty! Today there was no soap in bathrooms (both men and women). How do the workers wash their hands?!? Also, music usually sucks, it's like you enter a disco club ...

Traditional Irish pub. Host music sessions on Sunday afternoons. Two fireplaces indoors. Large front deck. Room available for parties. Our waitress Amanda is from Ireland. Great food.
