Description

Occasional acoustic acts entertain at this Irish pub in SOMA - mainly Celtic folk acts singing maudlin ballads about the Emerald Isle - though the songs are mostly background music for draining a few pints. More often the entertainment arrives via sports action beaming down from the TVs, while the menu boasts superior pub grub of both the Irish and American varieties.
