    We loved it back when it was a beer garden and it’s still great as a parkour though we do miss the outdoor eating. The food was delicious. I had the Rindergulash. I wish there was less of mashed potatoes and more of the stew; it was delicious. My daughter had the giant soft pretzel which we all loved and she is looking forward to eating it for breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Husband had the pimento pig and he thought it was ok because the pork was smoked but had no seasoning or sauce. My other daughter had a burger and she loved it. The fries are great. The atmosphere is fun and comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and nice.

    Lucky find returning from Forsyth Park to the river side. A renovated ice factory with all the old world charm an Irish pub should have. Fab food and drinks too. Fried Oysters: 10/10 - THE best I've had in years. And a big portion Flounder Ruben: 8/10 - light flakey and tasty. Red Rice: 9/10 - so so so good. Home made chips: 7/10 - simple but fresh. I recommend some old bay to kick them up a notch. Collards greens: 9/10 - perfectly cooked and piping hot. Peach Cobbler : 8/10 - a Dutch crumble topping and full of peaches. Not canned peaches either. Served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Old Fashioned: 10/10 - THE BEST I've had in a long time. Sean the bartender is great! Atmosphere: 7/10 - could use a little make over to freshen up the old world vibe Parking: hard to find, but there is a big lot way in the back #Irishpublife #Irishcheers

    This is not fine dining but what a great historical restaurant and not to be missed for a true flavor of Savannah. The fried food was light and delicious and the bowl of soul was full of flavor. A wonderful local restaurant that been here for decades.

    So glad we decided to eat here. My family and I have been visiting Savannah for years, but this was our first time here, and it did not disappoint. They had a special Oktobefest menu and we were able to try some of the items off of that menu. Also, their collard greens were excellent!

    The atmosphere was really cool here, not too loud and not too quiet. We loved the old time feel to it with all the history displayed. My boyfriend wasn’t crazy about the food, but, I liked it. Our server was really nice and attentive, which I know is hard when it’s busy. Also to add: we only waited about 20 minutes to be seated (which goes by fast if you visit the shop in the front, which I recommend) and once seated we only waited about 10 minutes for our food.

    If you're looking for flavorful food and great service, don't look any further. Coming to Savannah for our anniversary, we wanted the southern feel, we found it here. We were a little confused on how to get into the building from parking on the street, so be sure to park in their actual parking lot. It'll save you a few steps! Lol.. But once inside, there was no confusion. Our waitress, Kerri was simply one of the best. She was hospitable, answered questions we had, suggested various options to optimize our experience while being fiscally practical, and quite intentional in everything she did to delight us. The food... we had (don't judge us lol) crab stew, crab hushpuppies, duck wingettes, shrimp and grits, seafood combo (grouper fingers, founder filet, and fried shrimp with a side of collards), fried poundcake, and peach cobbler. We ate like royalty and everything just kept getting better. Now be careful, those wings are spicy as they're served with a sweet chili sauce. So if you're not into spice, look to the hushpuppies which is simply a crabcake... DELIGHTFUL. I paired mine with the crab stew and again, simply amazing. I went for the fried poundcake which tasted like a funnel cake to me but great. It's served with ice cream and was a sweet treat to end our evening.

    Everything was amazing. We went to Savannah for a quick get-a-way and wanted to try different food. This place did not disappoint at all. We tried the pound cake, cobbler, shrimp & grits, lobster stew, duck wings, greens, and seafood platter and nothing was less than delicious. I highly recommend trying this place.
