Any new area I get a chance to be around one of the first things I look for is an Irish pub. Out of the ones I've visited to date, this place has it all and sets the standard for how the others I've seen needs to get at.

The first thing that impressed me is how well it captures the Irish culture. The structural appearance and interior ambiance was very appealing. I could tell right away that it's a first rate place that can accommodate any setting (casual dining, small family nights out, sports enthusiasts, etc).

I was also impressed with the expanded options for various black and tans/half and half drinks. Those are my go to's for a drink order, and I go to an Irish pub since I know they'll provide the best quality mix. The bartender I had the pleasure of talking to, Paul, was very knowledgeable and provided plenty of insights on their black and tan options. He was also kind enough to give me pointers on things to do in the Madison area, and showed me around the dining/bar areas a little bit as we talked. Very personable.

Lastly, the food: I can only speak for the reuben sandwich I got, but this classic Irish dish hit the spot. By far the best one I've had to date. I can definitely say I'll be frequenting this pub more while in the area.

TL;DR I highly encourage anyone looking at this to check this place out. Great atmosphere, awesome food/drinks/options, and friendly inviting staff. You won't be disappointed.
