We went there because one tge website they mentionned a band. But instead we had the Blue Jay's game blasting into the speakers. Not a very pleasant supper.
A lovely Irish experience, the food & drinks were delicious & you have some tasty choices. The service is meduim, but great friendly warm ambiance. Crazy music & bands in weekends.

Saturday March 29th, 16:30.I haven't been to this location before, but I have been to the downtown one a number of times, based on my experience from downtown some friends & I stopped by yesterday afternoon. I'm going to be quick in this review compared to some I have done in the past. I'll just focus on my fish & chips. Not really my go-to meal, I generally only eat fish that I have cooked myself because most places overcook fish. Nevertheless I ordered it. First impressions were favourable, nice crispy exterior batter, nice colour. Flipping it over, it was nothing but oil on the bottom, it was dripping onto the plate & even into the tartare sauce. I tore into it, the biggest issue eas the ratio of batter to fish, it wasn't a particularly good sized piece of fish even if from the outside that's how it presented as a generous portion. The fish while not overcooked wasn't a thing of beauty, under seasoned & the fish was just very meh. My past forays into fish & chips the flakey white interior fish has a sweetish subtle fish flavour. This was kind of none of that. The tartare sauce was okay, though possibly a little thin, nothing spectacular. The chips were decent, possibly the best part of the meal, but they got cold kind of quickly & cold chips aren't nice to eat. The staff were fine, though somewhat difficult to get their attention, many of the things that should be offered upon serving were offered I had to get up myself to look for malt vinegar. The pub, us your standard run of the mill Irish pub interiors, but clean. There was a live band, not to my liking, found the singing really off key compounding the fact that it was loud even from a table in a back room. This suffice to day isn't my new third place. Came up a bit too mediocre for spending $80 between the wife & I.
"I really like the new vibe they've given to the place, especially the service area, & it's nice to hear bands from their early days, good jamming, covers. The food is a bit lacking, but just a matter of tweaking, highly recommended."
