"Went for dinner with the kids on a Friday night. The food was great and the service was outstanding! We had salmon and prime rib, and both were delicious. We thought the risotto was a little bit too salty, but everything else tasted good. I especially liked the corn fritters. The restaurant is very conveniently located and there is parking nearby."

"Everything was amazing from the atmosphere, to the employees, to the food. We went for my son's birthday dinner while we were in town visiting and I am so happy we picked this restaurant. The Irish fare is authentic and incredible. We got Shepherds Pie, the Irish pot roast and my son got a burger and it was cooked perfectly and juicy. If we ever get back down there we will be back."
Heather Maitland
"True Irish pub gem!
In the heart of Gettysburg, you can get your luck of the Irish met with Guinness and shepherds pie!
Great, quaint feel. Traditional bar. Lots of beers and drinks. Lots of apps and entrees.
Great outdoor seating.
Amazing service."
