This place is a great cozy pub, but it can get CRAZY on the weekends when they crank up the music. Fun!! The food is delicious. I had the special lamb shank and it was fall off the bone goodness. The service was so nice and friendly. Thanks for the wonderful experience, y'all! See ya soon!! Vegetarian options: Limited but there are some meatless choices.
Best burger in the city. Incredible flavor. Very generous size. I stopped in one evening after a long day and having not eaten since breakfast. I ordered the Chieftain Burger and loved it so much I ordered a second, which was every bit as good as the first!
The best bar in SoMa, I have to say. Food is really good, they know how to pour their Guinness and they are best at it. Don't forget to try Harp with Shepherd's Pie. They have live Irish music every Sunday. But, the biggest reason to come here is the people, lovelies they are.
