Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only—tight on weekends, easier a few blocks inland from Irving.
Dress code: Casual—game-day wear and hoodies fit right in.
Noise level: Loud after 8 pm, especially during games; conversation-friendly before 6 pm.
Weekend wait: 15–25 minutes for a table; bar seats turn faster.
Weekday lunch: No wait, mostly locals grabbing midday pints.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—chips and salads available, but few mains.
Vegan options: Very limited—plain fries or side salad only.
Gluten-free options: Minimal—shared fryer means cross-contact; avoid if sensitive.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date’s into sports and pub vibes—it's more casual banter than candlelight.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—first come, first served. Arrive before 8 pm on weekends for best shot.
Is it kid-friendly? Before 8 pm, yes—pub food and fries appeal to families. Late night skews adult with bar energy.
Best For
Better for: Crispy curry fries and true pub character—better late-night comfort than trendy bars nearby.
Skip if: You’re seeking quiet dining or healthy eats—this is more pint-and-fry territory.
