I worked for this lady for 2 weeks , shes not a very nice person , then she let me go after 2 weeks and thats fine I probably would have quit eventually anyway , but the fact is she didnt pay me for those 2 weeks and I had a young child to look after , unbelievable not nice people and I will never step foot in this establishment nor support it , not nice people at all ! Doesnt even deserve a star more like -5!

Fun atmosphere! Extremely friendly staff! Great pub food! Our table orders-
Duke Burger with fries- burger cook perfectly, loaded with bacon, cheese and mushrooms and didn't fall apart, great taste.
Taco Salad- big portion and tasted great.
Wings- good size, large portion and all the sauces had really good flavor- dill pickle, salt and pepper, hot. This feels like a place if you went twice they would know your name and would feel like a 2nd home.

Nice decor, good food, pleasant atmosphere. Beer choice is a bit boring though. Lots of identical watery lagers.

Enjoyed a late-summer lunchtime pint and bite to eat on the temporary patio area. Food was delicious and the Guinness washed it down nicely, all combined with friendly service. Hope the patio will be back next year - whatever the future is I think these outdoor areas should be the new norm.
