One of the best Irish Pubs I've been to in the area! Nothing else comes even close. The decor and general ambiance is impressive for a US-based Irish Pub. The service was top-notch, friendly, and not at all pushy. The place was clean, and the food options...Read More

Guinness was as smooth and full-bodied as I remember it from the Emerald Isle. The life music was a bit loud but authentic. The place was very lively and due to the exceptional staff very enjoyable. The manager stood out. He was everywhere filling...Read More

This is currently the only place I've been in the Tampa Bay area that strikes me as a true Irish pub. Yes, I know there are others, but most of the ones that I've been to are sports bars with Irish decorations and bad contemporary...Read More

Best Irish pub in St Pete and it’s not even close! Good food with a fair amount of actual Irish bites, they actually know how to pour a Guinness, and there is live music a good amount of the time with Irish folksongs. Great vibe...Read More

This place is one of my favorite Irish bars. It's the best. But today they dropped Irish bombs and balls all over! The bartenders were not bartending correctly. The corn beef was good but tough to eat and we tried to order the Turkey Rachel...Read More

Fun atmosphere and the heart of downtown St Pete. Sometimes there's live music, and it's a popular place for soccer fans together. Karin, our server, is off the charts customer service wise. She's a big reason why we keep going back.
