Not bad, good place for a fun evening as they are one of the few places in town that actually create a lively evening atmosphere with live music, bar service and standing up between tables. Food is also okay, poutine with beans is decent, although had another dish that was pretty average (think it was the veggie pie). Drinks seem to be on the expensive side which is strange given the type of place. Guinness for example seems to be the most expensive I've seen it across the whole city, over $10 a pint. They also do quiz nights on Wednesday although can be a bit hard to hear questions/answers

Worst cottage pie - bland zero flavour and dry and the prime rib sandwich was awful. The only saving grace was our server who was very sweet and good at her job. The kitchen was clearly having an off night. Very disappointed especially after seeing all the good reviews and having had excellent meals at the Granville location in the past

Worst Irish pub in Vancouver. Pricey food, terrible customer service from the manager itself.

This is your typical Vancouver Irish pub. The decor is pretty much what you'd expect with wood paneling and all. I was there on a Saturday evening, so the place was quite crowded and there was a live 1-man band. The musician was decent, but between him and the crowd it was very loud. Loud to the extent that my ears hurt and my throat was raw from having to yell.Pretty good beer selection and I appreciated that the food menu had things like a Full Irish Breakfast. As for the quality of the food, the fish and chips were pretty good, but the cottage pie was not. Friends who ordered the cottage pie wondered if it had been microwaved, which is not a good sign. The tater tot nachos were ok, but arrived after the mains, which was weird.

Great local spot for Sunday roast, great value for money as couldn’t finish it all!

This is a great Irish Pub!Food was great, drinks were on point, and the servers were kind and quick.The only thing that would have made this perfect would be if they hadn't run out of dry cider for crown floats!Might be time to bring one more on board!

Great venue but until they embrace the full concept of Happy Hour, we will continue to take our business to all the near by pubs, bars, and restaurants in the area.I hope they see the wisdom of that soon or they may be the next failure and that would be ? tragic!

Went for Wednesday night trivia, which was lots of fun! Had an overall good experience until it came time to pay for our bills. Our server had gone home for the evening so the manager was cashing us out. He brought over the wrong bills, overcharging us by MANY drinks. We politely brought this up to him and he got heated, very quickly. Started accusing us of not wanting to pay our bills, that we were too drunk to know how many drinks we had, and was pushing his iPad/card machine in front of us. I have never been treated so poorly by a bar, let alone the manager. He ended up getting so angry he stormed off and told us to leave and never come back. Don't worry, we wont be! Would not recommend to anyone.

Very disappointing food and service. We had a confirmed booking for the mezzanine level for food and drinks with friends before the holidays. When we arrived they couldn’t fit us in the mezzanine as they had booked another party there as well. We were left with 2 tables in the middle of the bar. The baked potatoes were hard, chips were cold. My one star is for the Guinness as it was excellent.

Had a beer and an all-day Irish breakfast (the real thing!) while waiting for my train. Was able to eat in the street-side seating area with my dog. Friendly helpful staff.
