This charming Emerald Isle pub is a favorite hang for "Tolucans" and industry types from the nearby film studios. The narrow, main room features an elongated bar, with TVs at every angle. A jukebox plays everything from Van Morrison to modern rock. Upstairs, there's an expansive dining area, which offers a full menu and a family-friendly vibe. – – The Draw – The laid back, yet jovial…

Good place to be

by AnaBella71

As a restaurant, this place deserves 3 stars max. But as a bar, this place deserves 5 stars.

When I went there the service was slow, and the food was average. But, the service was friendly and the drinks were plentiful.

I'll pass!

by hherbe01

I came here for happy hour and the actual space is very small & limited, so good luck getting a seat/table. The food was greasy and heavy. The bartender wasn't really on top of it, I had an empty glass most of the time with out her checking back to see if I needed another. The crowd here was a little older as well I noticed. I live close & wont go back

Pros: Ambiance
Cons: service

great food, awesome drinks, friendly bartenders... whether you're in for one beer or many, you'll enjoy yourself and this quaint little pub. Head upstairs for more seating and big screens. Always a good time!

Pros: atmosphere, food, cocktails, staff
