• Great people who work there.
• Nothing negative.

“All of the servers, bartenders, and the owner are very friendly! We also go there for simple dinners. St. Patrick's Day is great fun although the bar area is small for a big crowd.”

• Only if you like clowns - both inside and outside the display cases!
• My husband being choked unconscious by a bouncer there!

“My husband and I were there for Paddy's Day one year (2005) and had a terrible experience. It had to do with one of the bouncers. Two brothers who were in our company had started arguing between themselves and because of us being Irish - meaning from Ireland, and being in their vicinity, my husband was grabbed in a choke hold from behind by the bouncer. He was then dragged outside and strangled unconscious on the side walk. We had nothing to do the the argument & never caused any trouble while in there, but we were unfairly targeted because we are Irish. We never pursued legal action because he was an off duty cop & we were afraid of police harassment- even though we are both legal. Lower Merino Police refused to do anything about the incident. This is not an Irish friendly bar, even though it claims to an "Irish Pub." Watch your back there, you don't know who's standing behind you! P.S. This bouncer wore a bright orange top on St. Patrick's Day.”

• Nothing, small TV's crowded, etc.
• Just boring.

“Unfortunately I had a not so pleasant experience, and in fact, I will not go there again. It could be a gay bar of Ardmore that no one knows of, because, I think the curly headed, brown haired bartender, was hitting on every guy in there. Can't remember his name, but be careful if you are hetero! Have a great time!!!”
