"It's close to the house and always good for people watching. I prefer it strongly to its smaller, non-hard alcohol serving sister."
"Whether it's dried anchovies, live crabs or animal innards, always a good decision. Superb rice bowls with perfectly browned rice at the bottom. Homemade Kimchi is excellent."
"Having an Irish best friend, it was easy to find this chill pub. Always home to a very mixed crowd and generous with pours. I like the back patio and the fact that even on St. Patrick's Day, there's a spot for me."
"Although not a regular hangout, it's the perfect place to take people for business. I don't know anyone that doesn't feel like a badass smoking a cigar with a drink in one hand and an iPad in the other, making deals."
