First of all, I was surprised that this place wasn't already reviewed on burrp. This chilled out pub with great music has been one of our regular haunts for a few years now. Wanna catch up with friends on a Sat night and down some beers without burning a hole in your most rugged denims? Add to that the reality that most decent joints are crammed to the brim on weekends. Thats where Irish pub steps in like the gallant saviour. Its a great place to hang out, but inexplicably, its rarely ever too crowded to get a table. Not that I'm complaining...! We dropped in last Sat, and believe you me, at one stage there were all of 3 tables occupied...on a Saturday night!!
They have a varied and innovative menu (one of the few pubs which actually has a more-than-decent selection of salads). The staff is pleasant, ever-smiling and efficient. The DJ plays some good retro (and other stuff if the crowd wants him to). They do hukkas in the outdoor seating section. Large projection screens air matches. The prices are very reasonable. The location's good. They have valet parking. Now tell me, what more does one really look for in a watering hole?
I'm probably shooting myself in the foot with this review...maybe won't get a table the next time I'm there! But I think I owe it to the guys...it was so depressing to see them idle (and yet enthusiastic) on a Sat night.
