7.5
An Irish-pub hang that plays best as a casual stop for wings, beers, and a low-key night that can stretch longer than planned. The wings are the smart order—simple bar food that matches the room’s unfussy, TV-friendly vibe.
Must-Try Dishes:
Jumbo wings (Buffalo/BBQ/Jerk), Mozzarella sticks, Shepherd's pie

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is available but competitive after 6pm; garages in Court Square are a safer bet if you're arriving later.
Dress code: Casual pub attire—jeans, sneakers, and hoodies all fit in comfortably.
Noise level: Moderate to loud once games are on; conversation is easy early, harder during peak sports hours.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak sports or late-night hours
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—apps like mozzarella sticks and fries are the main options.
Vegan options: Very limited—sides only; not a strong choice for vegan diners.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some salads and wings without sauce, but cross-contamination is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re both into a casual sports-bar vibe; it’s relaxed and pressure-free, but not intimate or romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are common, especially on weeknights. Arrive earlier if there’s a big game on.
Is it kid-friendly? Early evening is fine for older kids who don’t mind TVs and noise, but it skews adult later at night.
Best For
Better for: Reliable wings, beers, and a no-frills sports-bar atmosphere where you can linger without feeling rushed.
Skip if: You want standout food, a quiet conversation, or strong dietary accommodations—other Court Square spots do those better.
