    Service was excellent, with great music and fun atmosphere with lots of tvs for sports watching. Food and drinks were great. Do you have to have an Irish accent to work there? Loved it!!

    While the service was excellent, the food at lunch was about average. I was surprised that a place that calls itself an Irish restaurant doesn’t have chicken pot pie, bangers and mash or shepherd’s pie on the menu or that daily specials were not offered. Only ok for me.

    First time going here and will defiantly be recommending to other flight attendants and returning. The atmosphere is lovely and fun and the drinks package is very good value for money! The only complaint we would have is the bill at the end! When it’s such a large group and the bill only being allowed to be split 4 times it causes a lot of problems! Would be much easier if everyone could pay individually and if the receipt could be printed so we could view it rather than just see the total on the machine! It caused a lot of stress for both us and our lovely server. Overall still an amazing time and can’t wait to be back in JFK to come again!

    The hype about this place was correct; man, this place is a 30/10. The food & drinks were delicious, the place was really nice and clean, the music was perfect & the service was AMAZING. A place definitely worth the money. Will definitely be coming back many times lol :)
