It was really maybe a place I should've gone to drink then eat as opposed to simply getting a drink with my meal which most... certainly would've been better after a few more. Our food took a while and my burger must've died in the window. Ordered mediumrare but grayed out all the way through. Fish and chips a signature dish there. Fries were bland and fish was good but minimal.Server checked in once and music was way too loud for a family environment. Manager didn't seem to have a grasp on the shiftworkings but the server did do a great job and got us the kids meals before our own to keep them placated. I'd wait a couplemonths for improvements before going there again. I do wish them well. The last Irish pub there wasn't really any better. Read more

My wife & I recently stopped by for a meal & drinks, electing to sit at the bar. Robbie waited on us & did a great job with his... drinks. As it was our first time visiting, he also provided us with requested information about music nights & other info aboutthe local area. I had a burger that was outstanding & will be back in the near future to try their Shepherd's Pie Read more

Ellie was definitely a superb waitress for our group of six tonight. Excellent service and very attentive to our needs and... concerns. All meals came out as ordered and drinks never empty. For never being here myself, would definitely considerreturning again Read more

We had a party of 12 and the server only attended to the end of the table who were drinking alcohol. We never got refills on our... drinks, nor did we get asked if our food was alright. It was not, my burger was med rare which I ordered Med well. I ate about 3bites and took it home to finish cooking. I would have told her, but she never came back until she came back with the checks. Mygranddaughter never got the side she ordered until it was time to leave. I wanted mustard, but as you can see, they don't cleanthem and they were disgusting. The take-home boxes were big cardboard boxes that had no compartments, so my burger and saladwere thrown in together. My brother in law had to put his Shephards Pie leftover in a cardboard box. The server may have had toomany tables, but that is where the manager could have stepped in to help her. Needless to say, we won't be back. Read more

They have veggie options and they were surprisingly good! We ordered the wild mushroom stroganoff and the veggie curry and both... were very tasty! The carnivorous folks on the table were pleased with the beef stew and fish and chips. Their pretzels areamazing. Great and friendly service and the wait time was less than 15 mins. Live music was the cherry on top ???????? Read more

Great, authentic Irish pub! Our server Liz was friendly, efficient and made some terrific recommendations. The ruben egg rolls,... shepherds pie, steak & ale pie, and bread pudding were all wonderful. The Irish old fashioned was one of the better oldfashioneds I’ve had in the area! We were originally planning on eating someplace else, but decided to stop here when we saw itwas open, and are so glad we did. Tons of patio seating and honestly better food and drinks than any of the other restaurants inLakewood Ranch. We will absolutely be back and have already told quite a few people about it. Read more

We had rehearsal dinner there and I cannot say enough good things about it! The awesomeness started the minute I called to make... the reservation and the manager assisted with making a personalized menu for the party. We arrived to 2 beautifully set 10 topsfor 20 people and were immediately served drinks and Caesar salad. The Caesar salad is amazing with their specialized croutons.We chose 3 appetizers and they came out one right after the other with perfect timing. The corned beef and cabbage, shepherdspie, and salmon were delicious. The staff and management were superb and immensely attentive! This spot is a definite perfectscore! Read more
