Reviews

This is an Irish pub in San Pedro, so it's not necessarily where you think to look for Irish fare. Our server was great....very friendly and very attentive, and all the staff seemed pretty welcoming.
The atmosphere is a bit more dive bar than Irish pub and could use a little updating. The food was a little hit and miss.
The chowder was a little fishy, and the ice cream with the bread pudding was freezer burned.
But the French Dip was really good (and those fries/chips are probably worth the visit all by themselves)! The Scotch egg was different than any other we've tried, but in a good way. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't super busy, but was starting to pick up as we left.
So probably a good sign that the locals were starting to flow in. Not a "must stop", but worth a try.

Thank you for your feedback Shawn.
We really appreciate it.
I am confused about the bread pudding having freezer burn as it is cooked fresh in house.
We will gladly refund your dessert, please feel free to reach out to us.

We came in on first Thursday’s after exploring San Pedro for a bit.
Very attentive server, nice ambience with open fireplace and old wood decor.
Feels like an old Irish pub.
Food is good.
Sausage rolls were not what I expected, it’s an actual sausage wrapped in pastry, not ground meat.
The Fish and chips were great and the gravy on the sausages and mash was really tasty.
Two rounds of beers and ciders for two and it cost us $120 with tax and tip.
Also they had karaoke on Thursday night which was a nice surprise.
Recommend if you’re looking for warm vibe and comfort food.

Thank you Jess, please come back to visit us soon.

The service was good, but the food was just OK.
The Shepard’s pie wasn’t that great, but the fish and chips and fish tacos were good.
The scotch egg was ok.
They did have a mushroom soup and that was absolutely amazing though!
