Hi! My coworker and I went to celebrate an early birthday and we had such a good time! 10/10 experience, the food was great and just want to shout out our server Ms. Bryanna because she really went above and beyond for us! Refilled our waters before we even noticed we needed more, gave great recommendations on the food, and surprised us with a some birthday truffles and a candle. Thanks Coopers! Will recommend to friends and family :)

Been coming here for 50+ years. Still a good burger. Onion rings still phenomenal after all these years. Great service and a nostalgic Ireland pub atmosphere. The consistency of the food has been an issue for the last several years. Some days it’s fantastic - hot, fresh, crispy and tasty - but other days it’s cold, soggy and bland. Get back the consistency and you’ll be 5 stars again for sure.
