   Me encantó el ambiente y la temática, siento que el servicio puede mejorar! Con respecto a la comida debo agregar que a ambos platos les faltaba un poco de sal al momento de sazonar. Las papas fritas estaban un poco pasadas de cocción. Las salsas increíblemente buenas!!

   Consistent and fair every time. Never have had a bad experience - they give you way too many fries though

   Fish and chip were delicious! Enough for two to share. The salad had way too much dressing on it though, couldn’t eat it.

   Thank you for letting us know about the salad so we can fix that issue moving forward. I am glad to hear you still enjoyed your fish and chips. We hope you come back again to see us soon. Cheers -Tanner

   One of the best pubs in Charlotte. Only gap is the poor music. Some better music, maybe even traditional Irish some nights would make this fantastic spot even better.

   Hey Graham, Thank you for the 5 stars. We do try to mix in some Irish tunes on our playlist but we also have a live traditional Irish band that plays every second Sunday. We also book traveling acts when they are passing through Charlotte. Hope you can catch one of these sets soon. Thanks for the visit and hope to see you again soon. Cheers -Tanner

   The food wasn’t that great. Everything had great presentation but wasn’t impressed. For the price it was fine. The mussels were probably the best. The Shepards pie needed more meat and less potatoes on top. The stew had way too much rosemary. Cute ambience in the back but more like a romantic pub.

   Decent food but nothing to write home about. Super busy on the weekend’s and very loud. Will continue to go back.

    Best pint of Guinness in Charlotte. You have an old world feel and it’s great to see people talking to each other like they did 100 years ago
    

    The Workman's FriendResponded on January 28, 2025

    Hey Christopher, Thanks for the Guinness shoutout. We take a lot of pride in our perfect pints. You and I would get along it sounds like. I constantly tell my staff that the art of conversation is dying and we need to encourage it more at the pub. Thanks for the 5 stars and we hope to see you back in for another pint. Cheers -Tanner
