    RUDE, LOUD, TERRIBLE!

    The music was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk. When my 84 year old mother asked the DJ to please turn down the music, he insulted her and did not. The manager did not talk to the DJ when we complained, and when we left he yelled something rude at my sister. The atmosphere is dark and dingy, the food was horrible and the staff clearly not enjoying working there. A very toxic environment. There are much better places to eat where the staff actually treat you like the valued customer you are.

    raw chicken wing actually better than the service provided

    went with my ball team for wings and beer tonight. wings were adequate until i bit into the raw one. my server (sam according to the receipt) didn't offer an apology, but did offer the insight that it was likely due to that wing being larger than the others (an observation both brilliant and useful). when the bills came, she had removed the price of one wing from my bill, but had added a charge for extra sauce which i did not order. i told her about this inaccurate charge, she questioned me about it again, i repeated myself, and she walked away saying "you don't have to be rude about it". after serving raw chicken to a customer, removing the price of one wing from the bill seems inadequate. calling that customer rude after potentially giving them food poisoning and then adding extra charges to their bill is beyond inadequate. it's stupid and terrible service. i've been going to this pub for a long time, but certainly won't be back after this terrible experience.

    Worst. Pub. Ever. The food is decent and the atmosphere is great....you always see people you know, having a good time. I've had a few really fun nights there. However, the owner/manager should be completely ashamed of his horrible staff. I've never witnessed such childish & rude behaviour before in my life. They are so incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful towards paying customers. I will never, ever go back.... well, maybe I would consider it if a few staff members were replaced with people who know how to do their job and actually act like adults rather than 15 year olds. Not holding my breath, though, as I fear these types of servers/bartenders are part of the "charm" of the place and keep some customers coming back time and time again, if you know what I mean. Yuck.

    The food was great as was the atmosphere. It is a busy place at times which results in a bit of a wait at times but it is well worth it. You will not be dissapointed.

    Terrible Food

    Terrible food! Just awful. I am a huge foodie and I can tell pre cooked food from fresh from the fryer food. The fish and wings are pre cooked for sure. The fish had a tough dry taste too it, like it was fried before same with the wings. I think that is terrible how difficult is it too deep fry food to order? Not very hard! The meatloaf tasted as if it was microwaved and the potatoes were not real, out of the bag or box for sure. Antojitos are basically two tortilla shells with a pile of cream cheese in the middle, and it costs $10.49 way over priced for something you can make at home for about $2 bucks. Also I love Sheppard’s Pie, but Shakespeare’s ruined it for me, dried out beef with fake mash potatoes...gross the best part was the real cheese on top. Terrible place to eat, awful service.
